WHAT TO EXPECT:
During our first session we will do an assessment to see where you’re at and where you want to be and make a plan based on this. This will include agreeing on an initial time frame to work with based on your budget and availability. We may start to identify your attachment style and identify any areas (or parts) that are at the forefront for you at the moment.
Sessions after this will be based on the plan but can be flexible. We can gently start the process of exploring your inner landscape using IFS.
We may also practice working with the practical IAT tools which can be utilized between sessions.
We will ultimately always be following the cues of your system. So YOU are always in control of the pace we go at and can say at any time if any approach we are taking is not feeling right for you.
My job is to: (adapted from IAT)
· allow you to feel seen, heard and understood
· encourage accountability without judgment
· help investigate root causes and shift unhelpful beliefs, thought patterns and emotional responses
MY JOB IS NOT:
· To have all the answers
· To be a “Guru” that you become dependent on.
