A conversation with Chris Chicoteau
-
Having for as long as I remember an ability to help people make sense of and respond to life's challenges I decided to make a career of it.
-
Various theories including process oriented psychology, attachment theory and mindfulness.
-
How people can experience personal growth from difficult life and relational circumstances.
-
Internal Family Systems therapy.
-
Clients may feel progress is being made from the first session. This obviously increases over time as trust in the therapeutic relationship develops.
-
Enabled me to get clearer about my own personal and relational values and at times recognizing how I get 'in my own way' in relationships.
-
It is an incredible privilege to hear people share their personal challenges, hopes and accomplishments.
-
Yes, don't we all?
-
Isolation and disconnection within our relationships.
-
I recently watched 'Marriage Story' and thought that the acting was excellent and a great depiction of some of the modern challenges associated with relationships.
