Doing the work of psychotherapy is hard. If you feel “good” in therapy you probably aren’t really changing.

Sometimes the trail can look vertical with no footholds. Every part of your body hurts, and you are scared. Don’t let fear cause you to turn back. Doing the hard work of psychotherapy builds confidence and trust in yourself to do hard things. Listen to the higher possibilities that are calling you; trust yourself and know the sights at the end of the trail will be more beautiful than you have ever imagined.

How do we interpret what we see? Human beings are complex. How we choose to view what is in front of us makes all the difference. In psychotherapy, the therapist is called to look past initial impressions or feelings, or ongoing negative experiences of being in a relationship with a client, and find the humanity in each person.

When we see the full spectrum of another person with open compassion, we give not only them but also those around them and ourselves the experience of love, connection, and peace.

Practicing Western clinical psychology and mental health counseling in a mostly conservative, Christian part of the U.S., I often get questions from potential and current clients. They’re either seeking reassurance that I will not bring Christianity into the counseling room or the opposite, that I can affirm and align with their Christian faith as part of their therapy.

Over the years, I have learned that aligning with the client’s values is the ultimate guide to their healing path. People know what they need to heal. The therapist’s role is to remain objective and integrate of all parts of a client. From supporting a conservative Catholic man wishing to overcome premature ej*******on without traditional s*x therapy techniques involving ma********on, to teaching practices of equanimity and impermanence to clients struggling with existential grief and fear about the political world we live in, Western psychotherapy is best served when it can make room for the spiritual life of the client.

It is my belief that a therapist cannot take their clients further than they have gone. As a certified mindfulness teacher and long-term student of Buddhism, I deepen my own spiritual practices during travel through visiting temples, meditation groups, or connecting with Buddhist communities (Sanghas) wherever I go.

Any practice that cultivates love is worth doing.

Understanding the many reasons for s_x therapy. People seek specialized support for various concerns, ranging from physical dysfunctions like er_ctile issues or painful s_x to complex relational challenges such as infidelity or low desire. Often, symptoms like anxiety or depression are actually rooted in unaddressed s_xual health concerns.

I provide a safe, high-standard environment to explore these sensitive topics and find restoration. Visit my website to see a full breakdown of why people seek s_x therapy and to schedule your next session: kimberlykeiser.com/s*x-therapy

I found this book in a bookstore in Quito, Ecuador when I was 28 years old. Although I wasn’t a therapist then, it spoke to me. During sessions I am tracking more of what is not being said than the words communicated. Reik’s core message is that therapy requires listening beyond words.

A therapist’s intuition, emotional resonance, and internal responses are not distractions; they’re clinical data. Reik calls this the “third ear,” the deeper attunement that helps us hear what’s unspoken: the pauses, the tension, the contradictions, and the subtle shifts that reveal a client’s inner world.

In my work, whether I’m supporting trauma recovery, intimacy concerns, or complex relational patterns, this kind of listening is essential. It takes my whole body, passing cognitive states, and emotional experiences. A therapist as a person – with all their human faculties and primitive senses - is the primary instrument of therapy. It’s where science, presence, and human connection meet.

Listening with the third ear guides how I listen.

Is your relationship stuck in a cycle of reactivity? Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a path to lasting change by teaching partners to identify internal patterns, foster curiosity, and lead from a place of calm presence. This framework helps relationships by strengthening mutual regulation and allowing couples to heal past wounds together. When we understand our "parts," we replace defensiveness with compassion and resilience.

Healing from s_xual trauma is not a linear process. In my latest Under the Covers answer, I address a question about navigating intrusive memories while rebuilding intimacy in a marriage. It is important to remember that even when the mind has processed a trauma, the nervous system often operates on its own timeline.
