The decision to start therapy with a licensed professional is like setting out on an expedition to both rediscover old territories and to discover new territories. One set of questions therapy asks is “What is it like to be me now?” “How do my past experiences affect who I am now?” “What is getting in my way, preventing me from being the person I feel I can be?” What we talk about during each meeting are those issues that are important to you in your everyday life, relationships, job, parents, children, things that make you feel happy, sad, depressed, or confused. View 5 Photos What I do in each meeting is listen carefully to what you say and share my impressions with you in order to enhance your sense of who you are. In this way I am like a mirror. From time to time, I may share my own thoughts and feelings regarding what you share with me. However, I will be very careful to tell you that these are my thoughts or feelings. As an experiential therapist, it is my job to help clients get in touch with the deeper parts of themselves. In therapy sessions we look at feelings, body sensations, thoughts, and behavior. The process of experiential therapy helps clients to feel, explore and expand upon experiences through various techniques that include personal history.
