Present moment awareness is the technique and goal of this psychotherapeutic process. Healing begins as you learn to be fully aware and respectful of your own inner state while being present with another person. In this way, you can learn to let go of old relational habits and the self-limiting beliefs that lead to them. You can genuinely address various addictions and learn to release the traumas and hurts that underlie them. Emotions that were once overwhelming become a guide to who you are and what you need from life. As you begin to respect your feeelings and perceptions as valid, you realize you are free to live your life in a way that naturally flows from who you are. You become yourself.
