Acceptance and Growth in the Therapy Process

One of the hardest parts of the therapy process can be a new awareness of how the past has affected our lives today. Recognizing that we may have certain limitations, triggers, ways of being that were formed from events, traumas or individuals which we had no control over. They are part of who we have become. The work in therapy often involves a grieving period when this awareness has formed, followed by a renewed sense of meaning and inner authority to move forward.

That may look like addressing the nervous system damage that occurred, the flashbacks, the self-blame ect, but it's a personal and individualized journey. The time in therapy can be a place to start to unravel and then put back together our lives with more intention, compassion and direction.

The therapists role can vary depending on the type of therapy, personality and other variables. But allowing the time and space for each part of this process and supporting ways to address what's revealed with evidenced based interventions is key. The following interventions we provide at RLG:
