I believe that most problems bringing people to psychotherapy arise from conflict issues and contact issues. Conflicts may involve inner conflicts, such as dilemmas of freedom vs. love, and interpersonal conlicts involving needs between partners, family members, past or present, coworkers, etc. Contact issues involve our connections with self,with others, and seeking, losing, healing, or needing to deepen the quality of these connections. Imbalances in contact or conflict may create mild to severe anxiety, depression, and when unresolved may fuel bad habits at best and at worst compulsive problems. Accurate definition of these underlying issues is necessary for resolution.
At times, paradox and contradiction seem to rule our lives rather than clear interpersonal rules with predictable outcomes. Our culture now is full of fears, losses, and extraordinary emotional demands which may require building more inner resources. My therapy syle is open and direct, wholistically attending to feelings, behaviors, and beliefs.
Since the onset of Covid-19 and the loss of my office space I have greatly curtailed my practice. I continue in a reduced schedule seeing only those still current in my practice. In my semiretirement I am not accepting additional clients.
