Finding healing & purpose can be difficult. You may find yourself asking: Where do I start? or How do I ask for help? If you are reading this, you've already begun.
Are you used to telling yourself, "I'm fine," but feel lost, stuck, or alone? Maybe you feel that you shouldn’t need help or that you don’t deserve it. We've all received the cultural messaging that we need to “do,” "succeed," or "perform," but this has led to exhaustion & burnout. It’s frustrating when we can’t express our innermost feelings & emotions, or when we’re stuck in patterns because there isn't space for our authentic self. Creative Now Therapy is here to facilitate & guide you on this journey of healing. You don't have to figure this out on your own.
Are You:
Healing begins by being with what isn't working, using less judgment, & the addition of some curiosity. This is easier said than done, & takes courage & practice. In fact, we've likely built precious walls & weaved important stories about ourselves that may contradict this way of healing. By blending mindfulness, somatic/body approaches, & creative explorations, we'll honor these walls & stories while safely shifting them into what feels most authentic. As your healing guides, we'll get curious about your feelings of anxiety, sadness, & loneliness as a way to access & celebrate the resources within yourself. Engaging in this way of being helps us to build a different relationship with our emotions & trauma.
By staying in the present moment & accepting what is, we allow ourselves to move into the next moment, take another step forward. Our feelings and body sensations provide us with potent information that we often ignore or avoid because they were possibly too dangerous to feel in our early experiences. In being with what is, we essentially begin to turn on the lights in a dark room. With this illumination, we get to decide if we want to stay in the room, change the furniture around, open a window, or leave the room entirely to explore other rooms.
Ultimately, this process will enhance your ability to get your needs met, make choices with more awareness, & support yourself through life’s uncertainty. Our work will be directive, experiential, & highly creative. This includes assisting in tuning you into your body, beliefs, & unfulfilling patterns - all to increase your ability to stay present with your shifting experience. This will support you to feel safer in your self - your body - in order to live with more ease, build meaningful relationships, & feel more alive and excited about your life.
