Been thinking a great deal about AI and therapy. And how more people are turning to AI for therapy and how it's becoming one of its primary uses, in this article, I propose some limits and limitations of AI, and perhaps an expanded view of what therapy has to offer.
The more we try to master life, the more we become mastered by our fantasies of mastery.

There is a current addiction in our culture.

Psychotherapy is q***r. It resists the world’s demand for certainty.
Not q***r in the sense of identity, but in the political sense: to transgress, to move against the current of what culture expects.
Therapy is one of the last remaining places where we are allowed to not know. It refuses speed, performance, and the promise of easy resolution. It invites us into the strange intimacy of an encounter that unfolds without a script.
Every session is a meeting between two people, each both known and unknowable. It is not friendship and it is not advice. It is a space where words begin to reveal what has long been unspeakable.
In a world shaped by productivity and progress, therapy privileges uncertainty. It honors what is unfinished, what is becoming, and what cannot be turned into a product.
Perhaps that is why therapy feels q***r to me. It does not straighten the soul to make it fit the world. It gives it permission to unfold.

You are NOT your attachment style!
What's my issue with this click bait post for a course offering? It's not that what it suggests is not true; it is incomplete. BUT rather, referring to people in this way suggests turning a tendency into an identity! "THE ATTACHED."
Even the originators of Attachment theory proceeded with some caution and had this to say:
"In general, we have probably overemphasized the degree to
which attachment style and attachment-related feelings are
traits rather than products of unique person-situation interactions. Attachment researchers often vacillate between using the terms secure, avoidant, and anxious/ambivalent to describe relationships and using them to categorize people. We have focused here on personal continuity, but we do not wish to deny that relationships are complex, powerful phenomena with causal effects beyond those predictable from personality
variables alone. A secure person trying to build a relationship with an anxious/ambivalent person might be pushed to feel and act avoidant. An avoidant person might cause a secure partner to
feel and act anxious, and so on. These kinds of interactions de-
serve study in their own right."--(Hazen & Shaver, 1987)

There’s no one size fits all method for any one! You are unique and that requires a tailored approach. Our first meeting is about finding out what you want to really to get out of working together and having a conversation that will help you move in that direction so that you have a real tangible way of assessing progress and celebrating your own growth and development!
My work is informed by both Eastern and Western methods that often focus on increasing bodily awareness, tuning in and tracking affect and emotion in the present.
By working this way, we can heal old wounds, remember and recover old skills, abilities and residencies as well as even develop new skills!
Through our work together, you will learn to inhabit, hold, have and experience yourself in new and important ways that can enhance your intimacy with yourself as well as with others and future others. When it comes to our emotions we often lack the ability to know what we are feeling, let alone express it in effective ways. But when we access our full spectrum of emotions, our lives can be filled with richness, texture, meaning, and power.
I take great pride in the care and humanity of my practice and want to help my clients create the most satisfying s*x and love lives as they possibly can.
Let's chat and see if working together would be helpful and useful to you. Call me at 888-712-6023 and lets schedule your FREE 1/2 hour phone consultation.
