Essence of time in therapeutic process

Time is a very significant dimension in the field of psychoanalysis and in our lives generally. 

Time is not as a physical or biological concept but a moment of experience which is the most realistic way to look at it.  Pierre Janet described the "real present" as " a complex state which we grasp in one act of consciousness in spite of it's complexity and of it's actual duration". 

This concept is called presentification. It is the linking of the current state of awareness, working, or being to past actions and future expectations. To give an example, think of all the things that you are currently doing as an extension of your past in the form of redemption or as an extension of your future in the form of expectations. So in a way, we are always living in a relationship of our current activity and the past or the future or both and the real present is that moment when we become aware of this presentification. 

In many cases of psychological disorders, this personification process is compromised and the individual loses the relationship between the past, the present work or activities, and the future. The experience of time is distorted or rather, this distorted Time dimension is the real disorder. 

Some traumatic life experiences can greatly affect this subconscious process of presentification and the individual loses some sense of the relationship between the current activity and the future or past. Thus, resulting in a loss of sense of self or future expectations. This increases stress and anxiety and the gap is mostly filled by intrusive thoughts and fear. 

So, it's nice to look at the sky every once in a while

If you are considering psychotherapy but do not know where to start, a free initial consultation is the perfect first step. It will allow you to explore your options, ask questions, and feel more confident about taking the first step towards your well-being.

It is a 30-minute, completely free meeting with a Mental Health specialist that does not obligate you to anything.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.

Another key advantage for Specialist

Specialists offering free initial consultations will be featured prominently in our upcoming advertising campaign, giving you greater visibility.

It's important to note that the initial consultation differs from a typical therapy session:
