I feel that every individual is unique; therefore every therapeutic relationship is unique.  For therapy to be effective, it is essential that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. I believe that we as humans are very skilled at denying feelings that are scary or difficult.  Problems occur when these repressed or denied feelings are projected out onto others or into destructive patterns of behavior and negative thought processes. I believe in the power of insight to foster change, but only when the insight is used to create behavioral changes and changes to negative or outdated "scripts" of how we see ourselves and ourselves in relation to the world around us. I believe that the more energy we put into trying to change who we are, the less likely we are to change.  We must FIRST accept the parts of ourselves that we try to deny or reject...taking a step forward sometimes takes a reflective step back towards self-acceptance.
