In my counseling practice I help my clients deal with problems that arise in their relationships and in their sex lives.

Such unresolved trauma has profound and wide ranging effects on people, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, psychologically based physical illnesses, chaotic and conflicted relationships, trouble with emotional closeness and self-sabotaging behavior.

The actual trauma cannot be undone because it is an historical fact. However, the powerful feelings and impulses of the person’s core emotions that occurred at the time of the traumas can be fully felt and experienced in this type of therapy. When these emotions are no longer pushed down by defenses, anxiety and depression, one’s life is remarkably improved and the devastation of their lives ends.

The truth is, everyone experiences emotional pain, but no one has to suffer. The suffering is a huge by-product of the repressed feelings and impulses.
