Voicelessness.com--Are We a Match?

As someone who has done “talk therapy” for 30 years and was twice unsuccessful in my own personal therapies with well-trained therapists, I have learned that successful talk therapy requires more than expertise. Just as important is an excellent match between patient and therapist.

Talk therapy is not simply a technique to be applied. It is a process deeply influenced by the personal qualities of both patient and therapist. As a result, if you are beginning therapy, it is very important to know "who" your therapist is. This is one of the reasons I created the Voicelessness and Emotional Survival web site: so that prospective patients could get a better sense of both who I am and what I do. I invite you to read some essays and take a look at the Voicelessness and Emotional Survival Message Board to see whether we make a match. If questions remain, I'd be happy to talk to you via phone or e-mail.
