Experiencing Connection

“If psychopathology is the result of someone’s -unwilled and unwanted- aloneness in the face of feared-to-be overwhelming emotion, then key to the therapeutic experience is to help undo this sense of aloneness.” -Diana Fosha, founder of AEDP

Often, it is difficult to begin the process of healing from troubling memories and traumatic emotions. This is a process that we can initiate together. An important part of healing is joining together, therapist and client, as two human beings facing what has troubled you most deeply, together. This has nothing to do with pity. It is the compassionate activation of the body’s healing resources that evolved to work best together, and it may be one of the most powerful things that is possible to experience.
