Your response is your responsibility.
As a famous scholar stated, “Your response is your responsibility.” The way you respond to life issues and challenges determines whether you rise or fail.
If you respond to life issues with determination to take control and not allow life challenges to dominate and destroy you, so be it.
But, on the other hand, if you decide to sit down in the mud, lament, and allow everything that other people are saying or have done to you to control your thoughts and actions, nothing will change. You will remain miserable.
You control your life.
I have seen couples waiting for their partner to come with them to therapy before starting. As long as the partner refuses to come, they remain in their distress.
I have worked with an individual whose partner refused to come to therapy at first. As the person did individual work, the changes motivated the other party to follow with therapy.
Remember your response is your responsibility. Soon both members of the couple learned the tools they needed to heal their communication and relationship.
It is nice to see you.
I am excited because I know things will change for the best as we work collaboratively.
We will focus our first few sessions on asking questions and getting to know you. During the initial meetings, you will share feelings and thoughts – and develop a therapeutic alliance.
As we gather information, we collaboratively design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Together, we will work on the goals set.
Our work together…
I will offer all the support and tools that you need to improve and heal. I guarantee you that after a couple of sessions, you will discover that things are changing for good.
After assessing your situation, I am likely to recommend 3-6 months. We will initially meet weekly. As soon as things improve, we move to biweekly.
All I need from you is a determination to change your life – a commitment and investment into your healing process.
As you begin to heal from the inside, your physical life and entire outlook on life will change.
