Psychotherapy - Linde Rosenberg M.Hlth. Sc. (Hons). MNZAP - Registered Psychotherapist

What is psychotherapy ?

What we feel about ourselves influences what expect or feel we deserve, in later life, as well as what we tend to recreate, in order to master or understand what happened to us. Often these patterns and experiences are forgotten but nevertheless they affect us unconsciously and may also show themselves in the form of depression, anxiety, conflicts and excessive or seemingly inexplicable outbursts of feelings. If these things are not expressed and brought to consciousness they may also lead to psychosomatic illness. In this way the voice of the soul speaks through symptoms.

When we inevitably come up against life's obstacles, disappointments, conflicts relationship breakdowns or losses, at home or at work, we may feel confused and powerless, angry or afraid, indignant as well as not good enough - and get caught between blaming and feeling blamed. Sometimes we may not know what we feel or can't express it. We may react to experiences the same way as we did as a child.

I provide a compassionate, understanding of feelings and experiences which will enable you to say the things that may, at first, seem frightening or shameful because such feelings and thoughts have had to be hidden. By exploring what you really feel and think, your past experiences as well some of the assumptions you carry about people and the world, you become less afraid and more understanding and accepting of your own truth. The freedom and insights that come from this, will lead to clarity, direction and the confidence to make creative changes in your life which will bring a sense of aliveness and empowerment.

Psychotherapy can help: Change old life patterns. Overcome disillusionment, depression or breakdown. Deal with overwhelming feelings, that may arise in crisis, trauma or loss. Express yourself more fully and truthfully in relationships. Find constructive ways of dealing with anger and conflict. Come to terms with grief and loss. Face the fear and anxiety that comes with life changes. Find spiritual meaning and purpose in life. Understand your inner-world and emotional process. Heal the effects of abuse. “We are afraid of things that cannot harm us, and we know it. And we long for things which cannot help us, and we know it. But actually it is something within us that we are afraid of, and it is something within ourselves we long for”.
