Areas of Change Counseling
Treatment is about understanding how things from your past affect who you are today. During our early years, we create our own perceptions of others and ourselves. These perceptions become our reality. This reality determines how we feel, what we think, and how we handle certain stressors. When we come to learn about how our reality was formed and maintained we are then free to feel and think differently in the present. We can then make better choices in life without repeating maladaptive patterns.
The general goal of CHANGE4U is Transformation & Transition therapy: This therapy is to learn about the parts of ourselves that remain hidden or out of our awareness. These parts include our needs, wishes, fears and defenses. These defenses or coping styles that contribute to our conflicts have been our method of survival for most of our lives if not all. Altering our defensive style takes time and a willingness to let go. Within the confines of a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, it is hoped that the individual is free to explore, challenge and understand how some of their defensive patterns have kept them from having a more meaningful, peaceful life. This is surfaced in life expectedly and sometimes unexpected.
