Thanks for this powerful quote. This will never happen in my office. In psychoanalytic psychotherapy we move towards the pain and invite people into it -to release it or transform it.

Very informative lecture this past Saturday by Dr. Nancy McWilliams on the limits of the DSM diagnostic system and the alternative psycho-dynamic diagnosis and case formulation, which accounts for the complexity of the human experience and clinical practice. I will not oversimplify your problems. (Lovely to hang out with some fun colleagues too.)

For people born into neglectful or abusive families, it can be really hard to feel like they matter, that they have a role to play, that they are worthy of love. If you feel that way, psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help. (Thanks to the Jane Goodall Institute feed).

I was born in Italy, but lived in London (UK), Leiden (The Netherlands), Santiago (Chile), before moving to my current home in Pasadena. Home has been a fluid, complex construct in my life, and I particularly enjoy accompanying other world travelers and home seekers in psychotherapy.

Wishing everyone a growth-ful new year.

My favorite sunset of 2023, captured on my phone at the harbor in Malokai. As 2023 comes to an end, I continue to feel so grateful for the people who allow me to accompany their healing journey. This year I witnessed and could honor many moments of personal transformation and expansion.

“Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious” (Sigmund Freud) and as such are always particularly welcome in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Photo credit to my friend Gail, who travelled to Malta and sent this pic of a 5,000 years old “Sleeping Lady”.

The process of healing is not a linear, forward, or upward line. One of the stages is letting go of old safe ways of thinking and behaving. (Another artwork by my favorite high schooler).
