Phase one is immediate relief. This involves tools to manage stress or other intense emotions and learning what is happening inside your body and brain. There is often a good reason for all the confusing things going on. Your body is not broken, it has just adapted to stress. 

With safety and stability established, we can now begin the work. In this phase, we actively address and resolve the lingering stress and emotions that you're seeking help for. This is the part where you really get to feel like you are getting your old self back. 

A primary goal of therapy is to give you the tools you need to be your own therapist. That is what this phase is about. By understanding yourself deeply and knowing what helps or hurts, you gain insight into how to relate to the world in a way that brings you meaning and fulfilment.
