How can Psychotherapy Help You?
Many people come for therapy because their sense of relatedness with others has been broken or been injured through the course of their lives. Trauma survivors often live through their years resolving to themselves that they would never let themselves be hurt by anyone again, placing security of the self over relatedness. No matter how wounded one has become, and the faith that one has lost in the interconnectedness of life, our minds are deeply connected to others at a dimension we cannot see. The human mind is deeply relational, and longs for relationships even when we resolve that that is not what we wish.

For those who have kind and empathic life partners, a sympathetic ear is a positive relational experience to know that now they are not alone. But then there are some memories and experiences, that can continue to linger on in the mind. Psychotherapy offers a human connection, and the opportunity to be seen and listened to at a deeper level, which gives a person a reparative experience of what was missing and what never happened.
Today, as we see the rise of ‘evidence based therapies’, it is important to remember that it is a human connection that leads to the psychological birth of the human infant, and then a child and an adult. And it is a human connection that we need and long for in the end. Psychotherapy is a human connection that transcends differences, and simply makes an individual (the client) connected to another individual (the therapist) at the most intimate dimension of their minds.
