People need to feel understood before they can self reflect

What do you think the other persons story is?

A key part of therapy is to better understand the story you tell yourself and then to let go of the parts that don’t serve you

We cling to stories even if they don’t serve us because they’re familiar. With freedom come responsibility and that’s scary.

Great therapists bring their full humanity into the room. They do not wear a persona.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice

In therapy you have to be vulnerable and accountable. Vulnerable to gain the insight. Accountable to make the change.

Identify what you are unwilling to feel

The most authentic voice is the quiet voice inside of you, not the loud ones

We are the most revealed as individuals in the way we relate to others

Therapy is a good second opinion on what’s going on in your life

Listen to your envy, it tells you what you want

Therapy is helping people change their stories
