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.

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.
