Anew Dream Therapy: A Guide for New Clients
As the founder of Anew Dream Therapy, I've seen the impact that online therapy can have on individuals and couples seeking support and guidance. Below, I'll share not only professional advice but also insights to help newcomers feel at ease and empowered as they begin their therapeutic journey.
Embracing Vulnerability in Therapy
The beauty of therapy at Anew Dream Therapy lies in the flexibility it offers. Through virtual sessions, we create a space that transcends geographical boundaries, allowing clients to delve into their vulnerable parts from the comfort of their own home. As a therapist, I cherish the opportunity to guide individuals on their unique paths toward healing, fostering a safe and nurturing atmosphere where authenticity thrives.
Anew's Philosophy around Therapy:
Courage in Vulnerability: The core of therapy often resides in the courage to be vulnerable. I encourage you, as a new client, to consider what you want to get out of sessions. In this space of trust and understanding, your hopes and aspirations serve as the north star of our collaborative journey toward growth.
Intentions and Expectations: What sparks this desire for therapy? Setting intentions and clarifying expectations helps tailor our sessions to align with your needs, ensuring a more fulfilling experience. Writing down what it would LOOK like, FEEL like, ect to be the version of you that doesn't feel what you are currently feeling. How will you know when you're there?
Content vs Process: Content is what you present in the session, it encompasses your narrative and all the details surrounding it. The process is what I am in charge of. Process involves understanding the theme and patterns that are present in your story into a concept that can reframe your story.
Preparing for a 90-Minute Intake Session at Anew Dream Therapy
The anticipation of a session often comes with a ton of emotions. To maximize our time together:
Reflect and Express: Prior to our session, take a moment to reflect on your thoughts and emotions. Write down notes or concerns you'd like to explore during our time together.
Openness and Curiosity: Approach our session with an open mind. The beauty of online therapy lies in its capacity to foster authentic connections, regardless of physical distance.
Present Engagement: During our session, focus on being present and engaged. Ensure that you are in a quiet private space where you can speak freely. Active participation facilitates a deeper understanding of your experiences and emotions.
EFT Tapping: A Path to Somatic Healing
At Anew Dream Therapy, we embrace a holistic approach to well-being. Alongside traditional talk therapy, I offer EFT Tapping as a powerful technique to alleviate stress and promote relaxation. Through the gentle tapping on specific points on the body, this method aims to release emotional tension and restore inner balance, complementing our therapeutic journey.
Navigating the world of therapy can be both empowering and transformative. At Anew Dream Therapy, I am dedicated to walking alongside you on this path, offering guidance, support, and a safe haven for your journey toward self-discovery and healing.
