The connection between client and therapist is the most important aspect of therapy.
You are the expert on your life.
Humans will go to great lengths to gain a sense of safety and security in our important relationships.

Attachment Theory

sharon cornelsEn, mmfT, DVATI
My clients are often:
Ready to try something other than plain “talk therapy”
Feeling silenced, frozen, or stuck due to childhood trauma

A calming presence

sharon’s essential beliefs
Trauma is often stored in the body non-verbally, so one might find it helpful to release or process it in creative ways
Coping behaviours and dysfunctional roles made sense in the context and system in which they developed
When there is the safety to do so, healing the pain and the underlying wound is preferable to merely managing symptoms
It is healing to feel one is not alone and have their trauma witnessed even through art or metaphor
Theories and models that inform my work include:
Internal Family Systems model
Art therapy
Play therapy
Attachment Theory

Each Reiki session can be adaptable and flexible to meet each person's needs.
