Psychosis
Psychosis is a clinical word for when people experience things that the people around them aren’t experiencing. This may mean seeing things others can’t (often called visual hallucinations), hearing things others don’t (auditory hallucinations) or having thoughts of beliefs that others don’t believe (delusional thoughts, grandiose thoughts, etc). You may have an experience like this that you define in a different way and that’s okay too.
I feel passionate that therapy should be accessible for people who have experienced psychosis – in the past or present- and that there is healing work to do beyond medication and hospitalization. I spend time helping people process their experiences and define what recovery looks like for them.
If you’ve been diagnosed with Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder, but it doesn’t feel like a great fit, that’s okay. Sometimes these labels are useful in helping people understand their experience and sometimes they’re just not a great fit for what you’ve been through. Your experience is unique and can’t always be captured in a diagnosis. In therapy, we’ll process your experience and create a plan for what does work to help you feel better.
