Therapy is a place to work through stuff with someone on the outside. I help men to be able to have tough conversations without losing it, have deep conversations without running away, and manage their mood for the long-haul. Feelings are uncomfortable.

This has certainly been helpful in the workplace, but you're starting to see that this may not work so well in your relationships. People have a hard time getting close to you and you don't know how to get there. Reach out to start the conversation.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.
