Nick Kenny, MA in Counselling Psychology
Registered Psychotherapist
Perhaps now you're facing a common question: do I continue to survive in this familiar way with this familiar pain, or risk change in hopes of a better life?
First steps can be difficult, but change may be closer than you think. The trick to it, as I see it, is to find an empathetic and nonjudgmental relationship in which you can express yourself. It's from here that we can feel into ongoing issues and progress into new, more adaptive territory that we've yet to learn is helpful.
“We are shaped by our relationships, and then our relationships are shaped by us.” - Sue Johnson
Just like any other relationship, ours matters. I am a fellow person prone to making mistakes. In our relationship, you can gain confidence relating to people in a more open, emotionally genuine way.
“Emotion is changed by emotion.” - Les Greenberg
With insight, you can till the ground, and with insight and a felt experience, you can plan new seeds.
We may begin by rationally understanding patterns, but sometimes the emotional experience is more impactful for change.
I can help you notice what emotion lies beneath some troublesome patterns, and discover what thoughts or emotions are realistic, helpful in the long run, and might be missing from the picture.
“The emotion that is expressed transforms; the emotion that is repressed festers.” - Sigmund Freud
