PRETREATMENT
Understanding your history and background. Offering you a way to understand your symptoms and problems. Setting up treatment agreements and expectations.
The goal is to clarify goals.
STAGE 1
Increasing your basic capacity for treatment. Stabilizing behaviors that interfere with staying alive, staying in therapy and experiencing quality of life.
The goal is to create safety for deeper work.
STAGE 2
Targeting developmental adaptations or traumatic experiences. This area of treatment is about helping you metabolize the past and removing disturbance around significant life events.
The goal is to clear the path for a life worth living.
STAGE 3
Practicing self-respect and start setting life goals. Here you learn to navigate ordinary happiness and unhappiness, and try finding deeper meaning to your life.
The goal is to return to life.
I offer phone contact to my clients between sessions.
These phone calls are not therapy sessions,
but 10-minute opportunities to tell me what skills were tried, what didn't work or what did work.
Please note that there are clear boundaries around this service
and it may not be appropriate for everyone.
