Reflections
Writing on therapy, relationships and being human.
Therapy often begins with the questions that are difficult to answer: Why do I keep repeating this? Why does this relationship affect me so deeply? Who am I becoming? What happens when the ways I learned to survive no longer serve me?
These reflections explore some of those questions through psychotherapy, relationships, identity, loss, culture and the complexity of being human.
