This is long term, challenging work where we take a journey into unbearable pain and suffering, because if we get through it, there might be that hope of long term peace and calm. I offer my presence, nurturance and firmness, and loan you my time and flesh for you to experience the good enough parent missing in your life.
What do we do in session?
It can be very intense work, and we may both react defensively out of instinctive survival habits that are not very helpful. There will be disenchantment, as I cannot be the perfect and ideal parent in your mind that gives everything and doesn't ever fail you. But I will be a good enough parent, and will stay in the therapeutic relationship unless you break our professional boundaries and threaten my personal and professional safety.
