What can I hope to take away from therapy?

1)  Feeling connected, understood, known, and supported in your life, in place of loneliness, isolation, or feeling unlovable.

2) Consciously chosen tools for managing relationships and feelings, in place of unconscious defenses which are no longer effectual or have been creating obstacles or additional problems in your life.

3) A profound, resourceful and resilient relationship with yourself, such that in turning inward, you find wisdom, guidance, groundedness, empathy and comfort.

4) An ability to FEEL deeply loved, and to love others intimately.

5) A self that feels like it is yours, to your liking, self-made, and thus a self you trust to guide you through psychological processes, making use of the psychological tools you have acquired, to cope and thrive.
