In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

Wise words from Lindsay Brahman

A lot of us begin as clients with the expectation that the therapist will be the expert, that they’ll speak (or help us find for ourselves) some magic words that must be uttered for us to heal, and that- like most professional relationships- there won’t be difficult discussions that engage conflict.

In fact, experiencing and then repairing miscommunications, disagreements, and ruptures is a key part of how works. See, how we respond to relational is a story uniquely wired in to each of our brains, and if we always do what we've always done, that wiring gets stronger- and if that story is making it hard for us to form supportive, satisfying relationships, that's a problem.

Good relational therapy makes room for emotionally charged conflict, and makes it safe for us to choose to stay, engage, and experiment with handling conflict differently. Doing so has a powerful ability to change our brains by giving us vividly emotional experiences that help rewrite old stories with new endings in a way that just learning about relationship skills can't- creating a greater capacity to form and maintain fulfilling relationships beyond therapy.
