What David Says About Being A Therapist:
| "All people can be happy and have the ability to learn how to learn how to be happy. I believe that a great deal of personal unhappiness stems from one's belief that one is not in control of life, and in addition, not being listened to. I believe it is the job of the therapist to empower clients by listening, and in the process allowing clients to learn to help themselves. I also have as interest in Jungian Psychology, and believe all humans' lives are built upon a spiritual foundation. Understanding this foundation and the manner in which we are all united helps a person attain and remain happy." |
