About Susan
My main approach is "cognitive behavioral therapy." How we see things makes much of our suffering. We will take a close look at "self talk," because it's kind of "programmed" for misery. There is a profound way in which our "animal brain" governs behavior, but our everyday thinking tends to shame and blame ourselves for things not under conscious control. I will invite you to take a very close look at what seems to be happening now. We might explore how past trauma is acting on us right now and experiment with exercises to calm the triggered brain. My life experience is rich with problems many of us face. I make use of knowing depression, anxiety, family conflict, addiction as well as my clinical training, intuition, and sometimes wisdom from different spiritual traditions. I'm not religious, but I respect the divinity within us all. Today's life is so prone to isolation and loneliness. We get to judging ourselves for things actually beyond our control. I would rather that we learn how precious we actually are. It's often hard to disclose what we are suffering so even the idea of therapy is scary. We want someone else to "fix it" for us, but soon learn it's going to take some work. Don't give up or settle for a certain level of miserable. Nourish curiosity and personal growth. BetterHelp intends either 30 or 45 minute sessions. I prefer 45 min. Except for Mondays or if I am ill, I check the platform daily to catch your messages. Disclosure here: I am not a morning person, and I've had little success with students of Rocky Mountain University, but success with their employees. I have completely failed to really help women whose partner is into porn. If you decide to work with me, read and "sign" the disclosure form. Explore the platform to find the free classes and groups, find and try out the "video session test," and figure out how to schedule your first appointment. Thank you for considering me to be your therapist! Read more Show less
