    Storytelling and Patterns

    January 25, 2018

            If you are a dreamer, come in,

    If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

    A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer…

    If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire

    For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

    Come in!

    Come in!

    -Shel Silverstein

    Invitation by Shel Silverstein was my very first favorite poem; this is a photo of the copy I keep framed in my office. For me, it represents one of the two main tenets of my therapeutic framework: storytelling and patterns.

    In therapy, I use a variety of resources to try to help people navigate their journey to arrive in a place of mental, spiritual and psychological wellness. By encouraging my clients to engage in storytelling, I try to help them identify patterns that keep recurring in their lives. Together, we can work to identify ways to cultivate, nourish, and sustain the positive patterns; and weed out, remedy, and change the patterns that are problematic.

    I attempt to achieve this clarity in my own life, in great part, through the stories of others. With this blog, I hope to share stories and resources that have helped and continue to help me cultivate my own story.

    This blog is part of my journey. Join me.
