A thoughtful starting point

When the Problem Has Been There for Years, Therapy Needs to Go Deeper.

Persistent psychological difficulties can involve several interacting factors: past experiences, attachment, emotional regulation, learned coping patterns, relationship dynamics and chronic stress. A careful assessment and shared formulation help clarify what may be relevant for each person.
