It is easy to believe that what ails us is simply a matter of personal defect or a weakness inherent in one’s ability to handle things. We try to live the present by silencing and avoiding remembering the past that hurts us. Being in a present state, sometimes cognitively disconnected from oneself, and without objective awareness of past influence.
Being afraid of inner exploration, looking back and remembering what you don’t want to be remembered can be a big block. Fear is a very important part that seeks safety. We don’t want to remember and feel what hurts us.
Psychotherapy establishes security and space for inner exploration, an experience filled with curiosity, calmness, connection, compassion, centered on oneself and the moment.
Recognize life’s challenges, and understand the various ways in which the past has shaped present behaviors and emotions. An internal transformation to meet yourself.
