Core Process Psychotherapy
What is Core Process?
At the heart - the core - of our nature we have an innate potential for health and wholeness. This potential is a bit like a blueprint that contains the wisdom to guide us toward natural states of clarity, health and well-being.We may have lost touch with this aspect of ourselves, or, more likely, we may never have had the opportunity to develop a strong connection to it. Part of the therapeutic process involves acknowledging and developing this aspect of our nature and strengthening our relationship to it.Mindfulness & Awareness
Awareness is the ability to bring our attention to things we may ordinarily overlook and mindfulness is concerned with being able to focus on them in such a way that we develop understanding. Our thoughts and feelings often move so quickly that we don’t get the chance to truly engage with them and we become disconnected and confused.If we can begin to carefully explore our inner experience with more awareness, we can start to allow unacknowledged feelings to surface, and can develop a more complete understanding of ourselves.Support & Resources
Psychotherapy can be a deep and subtle enquiry that can evoke strong feelings. I support my clients in this work by staying in touch with my own awareness and resources and by tuning in to their needs as we work together.My ability to do this is supported by a long-standing and ongoing practice of meditation and contemplation.
