Book Cover & Preview Text
I have been practicing therapy for 18 years. My experience has taken me all the way from Argentina to San Diego. I have traveled around the world and have seen the different ways people live their lives and I WAS AMAZED how much sense it made the different ways that they do things, the difference of beliefs, tastes and expected behaviors. After traveling so much I learn how to join with different cultures from a place of admiration and genuine interest, and I also learn that I CAN BE MY SELF IN EVERY COUNTRY AND CONNECT WITH PEOPLE FROM A PLACE OF LOVE AND RESPECT.
On the contrary I have also seen the weaknesses of different culture that produce pain and dysfunction. Through my travels and experience I have learned that being myself and understanding my role as a therapist for all that I work with is an extremely important part of my role as a therapist. I genuinely care about people. I feel joy and excitement when I see growth and awareness in my clients, and great satisfaction when I see families stop doing the same unproductive actions and begin to be happier and more connected.
I believe in love, in deep love, and in the importance of connection.
I believe in honesty,and in being open. I believe that to be real does not hurt, what hurts is mistrust, and rejection. Indifference is the opposite of love and caring. I believe that life is an adventure , and involves risks, and being a therapist is one of the greatest risks. I am however, willing to take that risk, to explore the adventure and process the emotions in order to make a connection with my clients, and grow from that experience together .I invite you therapists to do the same.
