Richard Evans-Lacey Psychotherapist

General information

If your home plumbing was going wrong and periodically flooded your home with dirty, smelly water how long would you tolerate it?

If your gaffer tape fix didn’t solve the problem how long would it be before you called in a professional?

A good plumber can help you remove blockages, reduce pressure, repair the cracks, reconnect you, and generally get things flowing again.

I call my approach to psychotherapy ‘psychic plumbing’ and this is what I can do for you.

- Pipes are your relationships with yourself, other people, and other things.

- Water is communication: the energy you are able to give and receive.

- Blockages are the emotional contractions that surround memories of unresolved traumatic experiences. These memories contain dissociated aspects of yourself and intruded ‘stuff’ that doesn’t belong to you.

- Pressure is the frustration that you experience when you try to control your responses to life events.

- Cracks are the scary places in yourself that you avoid.

- Gaffer tape is coping behaviour that you have developed in order to stop the cracks from appearing.

- Leaks are the energy that you loose because coping takes so much effort.

- Reconnection is the experience of facing your fears by turning towards the people and things you have been avoiding. You need to reconnect in order to identify and release blockages.

- Flow is the experience of a more enlightened life.
