Approach
Relational Therapy
Using what happens between us as real information about what happens everywhere else.
Relational therapy takes the position that people are shaped in relationship and heal in relationship. What happens between the two of us in a session is not a rehearsal for real life — it is real, and it is usually a fairly honest sample of how you are with other people.
That means I will sometimes say what I notice happening between us. Not to catch you out, but because it is often the most immediate material in the room.
Who this tends to help
- Feeling close to people and lonely at the same time
- Being the one who takes care of everyone
- Difficulty knowing what you want in a relationship, only what they want
- Bracing for people to leave
What I use this for
-
Domestic & Intimate Partner Violence
For what a relationship did to you, whether you are still in it or long out of it.
-
Multicultural & Latina Identity
For the parts of yourself that don’t translate the same way in every room you’re in.
-
Anger Management
For anger that is costing you the people you care about.
-
Codependency
For losing track of where you end and someone else begins.
-
Women’s Issues
For what gets asked of women and rarely named as a demand.
