I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision. I am a licensed professional counselor supervisor with over 20 years of experience. I believe we sometimes get cut off from our authentic experiences, wishes, wants, feelings and desires in order to meet life expectations or push through what we feel we "have to do". This way of being becomes fixed and can dull or dilute our true experience.
I use body language to focus on cues regarding dis-Ease in order to expand and dialogue our inner messages that first show up in a "whisper". My theoretical orientation is Gestalt. I often use sandtray therapy. In this approach clients can create a scene using miniatures. Hidden messages sometimes appear in the scene via metaphor. I focus more on the experience of the person rather than on the content of what is being said. My approach is best for those who feel they have been cut off from themselves, feel lost, disconnected from themselves or want to truly understand who they are and what they want.
Clients can better understand messages from their inner - wise part of themselves. I call this the inner knowing place.
