ABSTRACT

As a psychologist in private practice for over 40 years, I have the honor of being with people through their tumultuous conflicts, the steady ebb and flow of their feelings, memories, and experiences as they examine their lives and try to guide their own ship. There are intervals of accomplishment, satisfaction, resolution, and creativity in the therapeutic process. As well as times when my office is filled with jagged emotions of conflict, pain, fear, and grief for what was and what is. Psychotherapy is heartfelt and soulful work.
