My name is Dr. Patricia Timerman Barbosa da Silva, LMHC, LMFT. I am the author of the book "Why Are We Fighting? Actionable Strategies for Effective Communication" (https://amzn.to/47wS2Gb). I specialize in relational conflict and communication, grief, suicide grief, anxiety, and trauma.
I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy lens, focusing on how we think about ourselves and our surrounding, the meaning we attribute to loss, grief, trauma, as well as other's actions, and how such impact the way we experience the world and our relationships. I also developed the IAP Model - Intention, Action, Perception - helping us identify how our intentions get lost in translations and strategies we can apply to have our actions clearly reflect our intentions.
You can expect to take away applicable coping skills to actively help you reframe your perceptions and add to, possibly changing, the way you view, and therefore experience life.
