Are you stagnating in talk therapy? I bring thirty years of experience as a licensed social worker, helping people with many kinds of life problems. Besides client-centered talk therapy, I incorporate eye movement and imagery to help clients resolve trauma and move beyond barriers to growth. See acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com. Eye movement helps people when they are "stuck" in talk therapy, rapidly helping people to remove barriers to progress.
Do you feel stuck fixation on prior trauma, cycles of depression rumination, obsessive behaviors, or avoidance of "triggers?" These kinds of problems are resistant to change through the thinking part of the brain. Eye movement activates a more flexible and creative part of the brain to imagine new courses of action and establish lasting pathways to change.
