Before real change is possible, we first have to see, feel, and understand what is. What is the source of the reactivity we are encountering in ourselves? What do we perceive to be at stake? What assumptions are we making? What representations of ourselves and others are involved?
When we ‘inquire deeply’ into a problem or concern, we approach our experience with the attitude of delving into it, feeling whatever it is more fully, and inviting it to reveal itself. By looking deeply into problems, we can learn how to breathe space into them, understand their hidden meanings, and reframe our attitude and view in a way that allows them to resolve.
Because often we can only really see ourselves in the mirror provided by another, mindful dynamic psychotherapy enables you to see yourself more clearly.
“Inquiring Deeply” is a psychotherapeutic approach which is based in a creative fusion of mindful awareness and psychoanalytic understanding. It is based on the premise that psychological healing occurs when we feel safe and when the deep pain of our grief, loss, and disappointment is met with empathy, compassion, and understanding from another.
