Lisa Graff-Marsh

I work with my clients to get back in touch with their core self energy that was always inside but got covered by survival strategies or parts that got created to stay connected and safe in their families. The healing comes out of building a safe container through the relationship between the therapist and client. To help access the feelings that were buried through anxiety and defenses because feelings were unsafe to feel or overwhelming and no one was there to help accompany and undo the aloneness. In addition I also work with the interpersonal where accessing the younger self and then unblending her/him/they from the present day or future self. We then work on bring that younger self into the present with the adult self so the client can start to give that part of themselves what they should have gotten i.e. compassion, love, understanding, support etc. To hold the space for the core emotion that is there and creates open heart, authentic self, calm, curiosity compassion, confidence and clarity.
