Freeheart Psychotherapy-Jillian Beth Foster LCSW, LCAS,RYT

through every block” -Yogi Bhajan Self Acceptance I believe with all my heart, that no matter what you are struggling with right now, together we can find a way to your freedom and peace. What if, that perhaps with every challenge you currently face and have faced, therein lies your greatest treasure?! Love is the ultimate healer. EMDR can help unlock frozen memories and emotions at the subcortical level, giving you relief from maladaptive patterns of living and set you free to be your best self. (https://www.emdria.org/page/emdr_therapy) Healing Relationships The quality of the connection we have with ourselves is reflected in the quality of the relationships we have with others. I believe that the most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves-no one on the planet is more deserving of your love than you are!!! Through developing a compassionate friendship with yourself, all other relationships, including intimate partnerships, will grow too. Everything is a mirror for the self to grow and heal and love more deeply. In addition to one-on-one sessions, I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy For Couples, (http://iceeft.com/what-is-eft/), an attachment theory based process of deepening compassionate understanding of the negative interaction cycles happening, and how to break free and heal, so our hearts can feel safe and open to love and be loved, our true nature. Together, we will hold unconditionally loving and compassionate space for you to receive whatever you are needing. There’s nothing you need to say, do, change, or fix in order to become better – you already are your perfectly whole self in this very moment as always – it’s just sometimes in life we can lose sight and forget our true selves through all the pain and suffering. I see “psychotherapy” and life as a journey home to the true self – a shift in perception from fear to love. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization, and Reprocessing) Do you feel like you keep going through the same things over and over again, maybe even feeling stuck in certain patterns? EMDR can help you! This research proven evidence based practice helps by updating frozen memories, traumas, recurring triggers, and negative self-beliefs to help you be FREE, EMPOWERED, and STRONG in every area of your life! Life is really $%#!@*& hard sometimes … But it is also full of magnificent wonder and joy in the midst of the pain we all experience as human beings on this earth. Acknowledging and honoring that what you are experiencing is hard is the first step—bringing compassionate awareness to your pain. I will hold space with you and deeply and compassionately listen and respond to what you are sharing with words, and to what you are saying even without words. We will access the wisdom of the heart as our guide. I offer an integrated approach that practically weaves elements of spiritual and natural healing into evidence-based practices. These include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Expressive Arts, Humanistic Sandtray, Restorative Yin Yoga, Mindfulness/Meditation, and Life Coaching – just to name a few of the infinite possibilities. I believe mind, body and spirit are all interconnected, and therefore in order to support the healing of the whole person we must work on all levels of being. That is why I offer holistic modalities. Therapy, like life, is really all about the process, or journey, more than the outcome or destination. A simple shift in perception from fear to Love is all it truly takes for the miracle to occur — and this can happen in an instant, perhaps even when we come together with intention during your session. So please come with an open mind and open heart expecting a miracle. “Let yourself crumble where you are so that wildflowers can grow there.” -Rumi
