Thoughts on emotional duality…

Meet WILA therapist Emily Forche, MA! She shares:

“Therapy can serve many different purposes from one person to another. It can be a place to tend to aspects of yourself or your experience that feel confusing, stuck, or hard to change. It can also be a space to explore new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the various systems we live within, while giving voice to the silent or left-behind parts of yourself. My work focuses on creating a safe and consistent space where one can grow the capacity to practice nonjudgmental curiosity, tolerate complex, often paradoxical, emotions, and develop the flexibility to engage in life more fully and richly.”

There is also not a therapy where you can be told what to do in the face of ongoing violence toward immigrants, children, and people around the world. But, it certainly helps to speak to a professional who understands systemic violence and oppression about how it all feels and how you can hold onto yourself and your community.

As we begin the first week of Black History Month, may we all keep in mind these words from Alice Walker. Let’s consider, “What can I do today, this week, this month to help construct the future I want for myself and the world around me?”.

When people are struggling, what they so often need is not for us to say the right thing—it is for us to sit with them in their struggles. This helps them know that their struggles are tolerable and that they are not alone with them.

Meet WILA therapist Ryan Lipton, MSW! He shares:

“In a therapeutic relationship where we feel respected and known, we can begin to explore the complex web of internal and external forces that make up our sense of what is ‘real’. This process can expand our capacity to tolerate the unknown, to be with what is, and to access agency in aligning our actions with our desires.
My clinical work is informed by psychoanalytic and liberation psychology, with particular interests in gender, acculturation and identity formation, and group process.”
