Find a Therapist in Aldergrove, British Columbia.

If my client has created a belief about himself at an early age (I'm stupid) for example, this belief is attached to a strong feeling and can become a part of his identity. It becomes an unconscious part of his thought system and drives alot of his thinking. This way of thinking produces many negative feelings, which then lead to behaviour that validate the belief. My part then is to remind the client that what he made up is not true. It is simply a feeling based on the belief of a child.

When you are struggling it can feel like an isolating experience. Talk therapy can help in that understanding that you are not alone. Through a non-judgemental, client-driven approach counselling should feel like a weight is being lifted off your shoulders and that someone is sharing your burden. My approach is informed by Narrative Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, and the Response Based Approach. I believe people are doing the best can and through these models, solutions can be found.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
