FAQs about Life Therapy, Part 3 of 3

Will Life Therapy Help Me Find Myself?

No and yes. In Life Therapy, you have no self to find. Your self is not a mysterious object inside or outside you that you look for and find. Rather you create your self as you live. Your self is a living, developing story. It’s your life-story.  You are constantly becoming you.

How Does Life Therapy Begin?

It begins by contacting me for either a free initial consultation or to schedule an initial appointment. 

The purpose of the free initial consult is to determine if we are a good fit for each other. Successful therapy work depends on us being a good fit.  

If we’re not, I’ll do all I can to help you find someone who is.

The purpose of your first session is for us to attend to your most urgent concern and begin taking good care of you. We also complete initial paper work.

After Life Therapy Begins, What are Sessions Like?

In each follow-up session, we review your life since your previous session and discuss how you are doing and how to make your way forward to a better place in life. 

Between sessions, you have homework—knowledge to gain and skills to practice.

I am available between sessions for support and collaboration.

How Does Life Therapy End?

Life Therapy ends when we agree that you have made your way to a better place in life and are able to move forward on your own.

Can I Resume Life Therapy Later?

Yes. When you want to resume sessions, just contact me and we’ll schedule a time.

How Much Does It Cost?

The initial session, usually an hour and a half, costs $120. Follow-up sessions, usually an hour, are $90. I offer reduced costs for bundled payments and have options for reducing the cost.

I accept cash, checks, and credit cards, but not insurance.

Life Therapy FAQs, Part 2 of 3

What Specific Problems Does Life Therapy Address?

Life Therapy is broad in scope. Since it attends to, serves, and cares for your life, it addresses all areas of your life.  It specifically helps you make your way through the difficult challenges and major turning points in your life, such as—

·       Death of a family member or friend

·       Divorce or dismissal from work

·       Disease: physical and mental

·       Distressing personal and professional relationships

How Does Life Therapy Work?

In Life Therapy, we profoundly trust your spirit’s own natural ability to heal, recover, and compel you forward in life. We also recognize the need for assistance when your efforts alone aren’t getting you to a better place. 

As your Life Therapist, I work directly with you and refer you to other professionals when you need specialized care for medical, psychological, legal, financial, or other needs.

What is Spirit?

In Life Therapy, “spirit” does not refer to “Spirit”. It does not refer to anything religious, supernatural, or other-worldly. Rather spirit refers to the natural force that makes all living things alive. It’s the difference between being alive or dead. 

Your spirit is the agent of your life. Your instincts are your spirit’s drives to keep you alive. Fulfilling your spirit’s life-affirming desires is your purpose in life. Your emotions are your spirit’s responses to stimuli. Your moods are extended emotions. Your spirit’s knowledge is what you know “in your heart.”

Life’s difficult challenges challenge your body, mind, and relationships. They challenge your spirit and life as well. Attending to, serving, and taking good care of your spirit is essential to making your way through life’s hardships and fulfilling your purpose.

Does Life Therapy Respect My Faith?

Absolutely. Just as medical, psychological, and other professional therapists respect the different faiths of their clients, so do I.  Life Therapy includes a deep respect for clients of all religious faiths. It includes the same deep respect for clients of nonreligious views.
