Therapy is....

About learning to trust safety.

Learning to trust relationship.

Learning to trust that there is nothing wrong with you.

In the moment the therapist first lays eyes on their client in the waiting room & the client sees how happy the therapist is to see them.

The bravery of a client who walks through that door week after week after week.

Experiencing new rhythms in relationship by playing balloon volleyball.

Learning to tolerate the closeness of relationship while playing a years worth of Uno.

Having a deep relationship with someone who has no agenda- no expectation that I show up in a certain way or change.

 

Therapy happens in tiny moments of being with, built up over time, at exactly the right pace for your child ~ Robyn Cobbel
