Frequently Asked Questions

This article may help you identify some of the questions to ask and information to assess in choosing a therapist

I wrote this article to explain some of the reasons why Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy as an exquisite experiential approach can lead to breakthrough when the more "cognitive" approaches (aka "problem-solving" therapy, CBT, insight-based therapy, solution-oriented therapy, behavioral-focused therapy, etc.) don't seem to lead to meaningful or sustainable change or progress.  It's important to ask in your initial consultation about the therapist's specific trainings, orientations, styles, focuses, etc.​

The experiential process of Hakomi method helps us move from debating the factual to studying the psychological; from perfecting the words spoken to exploring the unspoken and the feelings between the lines; from managing behaviors — “do this” or “do that” — to evoking agency, supporting choice, and aligning motivations.

​

It can help us staying with, studying and transforming what otherwise might be too intense, too vulnerable or too self-rejecting to experience.

Therapy can become infinitely richer, more interesting, and definitely more real.   And often much more effective.
