About

You may be here because you have recently had children of your own, and something about that has brought a lot forward that you had assumed was long finished. It is one of the most common reasons people come to see me, and one of the least anticipated by the people it happens to. The trigger makes sense. Childhood wounds tend to reactivate when you find yourself at the same stage from the other side, watching a child reach the age you were when things went wrong. That is disorienting and often frightening, particularly if the fear is about repeating something. We work on that directly, and the fear itself is usually strong evidence that you will not. Hospital and intensive outpatient settings put me alongside a lot of people at exactly this juncture. It is a well-trodden path with a good outcome. If becoming a parent brought this forward, get in touch.
