Mental Health Counseling
In Person and Online Appointments
Key Therapeutic Tools
- The client experiences boundaries set by “firm” family members… the dissolution of rescue fantasies begins… the dependent position is challenged.
- The client experiences his/her own strengths or weaknesses rather than his/her parents or significant others strengths or weaknesses…the client is orienting to his/her own insides— painful but anxiety reducing and “sobering.”
- The client begins to perceive that it is him/ herself that is responsible to regulate his/her own internal affairs —the magical thinking of the child begins to give way to reality based adult perception.
- Experiencing the repeated crisis of psychological/spiritual relapse and finding healthy resolutions without returning to chemical dependency or the dependent position builds a stable functional self identity, feelings of self-worth and a genuine acceptance of life on life’s terms.
