Straight
Forward Honest - Counseling & Therapy |
No
therapy game playing. Counseling and therapy starts with a mutual commitment
to work together with honesty and trust.
I work with you as a real person, who has a positive sensitivity,
intelligence, insight, skill, and caring that can help you do the work
you need do to benefit in your life.
Being
happy, getting better, recovering, & growing are not unsolvable
mysteries
We
will work together to help you make sense of all of it: to learn how you
came to be; to help you become more aware of yourself and your feelings,
thoughts, and behavior; to consciously experience the processes of your
daily living; and to help you through the sometimes painful and frightening
process of growth; to move towards a more complete and fulfilling life as an
individual, as a partner, as a parent, as a family member, as a friend, as a
colleague, and in the community.
Making
it work for you is my goal in counseling & therapy
I
will not be trying to fit you and your life and experiences into particular
theories of who you should be or how you came to be.
If relevant to the reality of your life, then I will help you find
your connection to a theory. However,
such a theory will not be used to shape you or my conception of who you are.
I accept who and what you are as a basic foundation in counseling and
therapy.

BUILDING
SELF-ESTEEM
IN
THE ADULT-CHILD SYSTEM
(Excerpt
from Series on Self-Esteem)
A baby with poor self-esteem? That is a nonsensical
statement. Babies just “are.” Initially, without a sense
of self, self-esteem is not a part of the babies’ experience.
Within a very short time, however, self-esteem (potentially) begins to
develop. How does that happen? It happens- it develops
from the simplest of caregiving interactions.
Over and over, the baby feels hunger, gets uncomfortable in his/her
diaper, is startled, and you the mother, the father, the caregiver
responds with basic care… Over and over, the baby feels, hears,
and experiences his/her needs being confirmed as important….he/she
begins to fill with a sense of being worthwhile… a sense of being
special. And, self-esteem begins to develop. ... Nurtured over
and over with feedback that their daily living and experiencing the world
fill their parents and other special adults with joy. With each
message of worth, self-esteem in the child grows. (Go

CHALLENGES
OF TEMPERAMENTAL
TRAITS & COMBINATIONS
(Excerpt
from Series on on Discipline)
Discipline comes from the inside out in many ways. It comes from the
inside the emotional and psychological history of the adults. Then
it moves out into the world of the child as development challenges them.
When a person is mature, discipline that has become part of his/her
internalized moral and behavioral codes moves from inside out to his/her
relationships and life. Discipline also develops its basic rules and
guidelines inside the family and then is followed and expressed out in
larger communities of school and work... Often times,
their difficulties come from the mismatch between family, that is, parent
to child socialization and the larger group... children may not be
taught or be expected to internalize behavioral boundaries...
Such
an approach to discipline moves away from the concept of
“discipline” relating to being a “disciple,” that is, learning and
conforming to a healthy and positive way of life taught or promoted by a
more experienced and wiser individual or group. (Go to series) |
