What Brings Us to Therapy?

There’s a quiet moment, somewhere between waking and stepping into the day, when we begin to slip into all the different selves we’ll need to be. Without realizing it, we move through a thousand small adaptations — to our roles, our relationships, our histories. This short video explores what happens when those adaptations become automatic, when we lose touch with the inner life behind them, and how therapy can become a space to reconnect with what’s most true.

As you sit with what you’ve just watched, you might let the questions linger a little longer. Which versions of yourself feel most alive right now, and which have faded quietly into the background? What do those quieter parts long for? Where, in the movement of your days, do you feel most like yourself — and where do you notice yourself slipping away? Perhaps these questions don’t need answers right now. Perhaps they’re simply an opening — a way of beginning to listen more deeply to the life moving through you. May your noticing become a doorway home.
