What is therapy?
As a therapist, I desire to build a deep connection with every single one of my clients.
Therapy is not always intense, therapy is not always you crying and me listening.
Therapy is a human relationship. A relationship that is safe, and full of trust; a relationship full of hope, and light.
In therapy I feel your pain, I hold it with you till you are able to hold it again alone. I help you go through tough times knowing quite well that I’m here for support.
Therapy to me is very exciting. I get super excited before each session wondering what it will hold. Will it hold tears, laughter, revelations, or sometimes all three.
I’m also not what you think of when you imagine a traditional therapist. I don’t come to work each day in a blazer, rest my glasses on my nose and expect you to lay on a couch and tell me all your secrets. Therapy, for me, is a lot more human, personalized and comlex than that: some times we’ll play games together, sometimes we’ll sit on the floor, do breathing exercises, and get ourselves grounded. Sometimes we’ll have a secret handshake, and a lot of times we’ll heal.
As I always tell my clients, we laugh together, cry together, and heal together.
Love,
Malak
