The ACT Crucible
I help you build a life aligned with your inner wisdom, finding your own superpowers, and creating a more engaged experience for you and your relationships.
Our relationships with others impact our well-being. Too often, we get lost in stories about others or get bogged down by our own distress. In those states of regression, we may show up in ways that do not align with our values. Our behavior becomes emotion-dependent or driven by chasing pleasant sensations and avoiding discomfort.
Over time, in working with individuals and couples, I have found that much of therapy lacks flexibility when it comes to interpersonal issues. So I have decided to create my own therapeutic method inspired by the work of David Schanrch and Steve Hayes.
The ACT Crucible is a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Crucible Therapy. It integrates individual and couples work to create a more robust approach to relationship issues. It is differentiation-based therapy that meets psychological flexibility. This approach draws from advances in psychotherapy, linguistics, and brain science to form a method that is useful for both individuals and couples.
The ACT Crucible allows you to:
Better understand yourself, make meaning of your experience, and better understand the people in your life. You begin to see why you do what you do, and why others do what they do.
Confront yourself in the ways you move away from being relational or out of alignment with who you want to be.
Show up in alignment with your values with non-attachment to the outcome.
Engage in meaningful action that moves you toward deeper relational connection.
Stand solid in yourself and learn to stand up for yourself.
Widen your capacity to stay open to discomfort in the service of greater flexibility and vitality in your relationships.
