No Man is an Island
We all know the saying "No man is an island" taken from the poem by John Donne. Often times, even if we have loved ones who care, they may not understand our needs when we are struggling through transitions, conflicts, or losses. We may come to feel overburdened, and alone. This is all the more difficult and painful when we have no one close to us in our lives.
When we talk to a trained person who listens with attunement, is objective, reflective, and knowledgeable, we usually find new ways of experiencing ourselves, our relationships, and our lives, our world.
The positive therapeutic encounter is founded on an equal partnership of trust, confidentiality, and mutual feedback. Being honest is the first step toward the changes we want and need. Please seek a good therapist, with whom you are comfortable and who is willing to think philosophically, not just psychologically. Be your own best advocate by asking and being sure your confidentiality and privacy is fully guarded, especially when using 3rd party reimbursement. Ask about what diagnosis you might be given.
