“At 59 years of age, I decided it was time to address my anger problem. OK, let’s be honest: not really an anger problem; more like erupting in a rage over seemingly minor problems. As a business owner, these occasional eruptions were costing me personal relationships and employees … and money. Frankly, this has been a lifelong problem that I should have addressed many years ago.
Christine helped me to understand what was going on under the surface that caused me to erupt. She helped me to understand my feelings in the moment, my anxieties in general, and also how my past experiences defined who I am today. She introduced me to a couple of books that helped me understand how to treat myself better, but mostly it was talk therapy where her guidance helped me do the work to understand myself. The questions Christine posed weren’t always easy to answer, but taking time to think them through and answer them honestly helped me better understand myself. And I came away with a different perception of myself, and my self worth, along with some strategies for dealing with feelings in the moment.
Getting past the fear of confronting my problem was the hardest part. From the first meeting, Christine was easy to talk to and non-judgemental in her approach; and her office was a tranquil space. Over time, our sessions became a quite comfortable conversation that I actually looked forward to. To say the results have been positive would be an understatement, and I am very thankful for Christine’s assistance.”
