How I Work
Somewhere to Start
Four things that are true here before you have said anything about yourself.

How I Work
Somewhere to Start
Four things that are true here before you have said anything about yourself.
01
Compassion
You are believed. What you report about your own experience is the starting evidence, not a claim to be tested.
02
Believed
Affirming is the floor. Your identity and your wiring are context for the work, never the thing being treated.
03
Affirming
No performance. Fidget, pace, look away, or write it down instead of saying it. None of that counts against you.
04
Your Pace
You set the pace. You can say a subject is closed for now and it stays closed until you reopen it.

The person you would be talking to
