Ana Genske Therapy
I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Depth Psychology, from Pacifica Graduate Institute and was trained primarily in a psychodynamic approach. After experiencing frustrating limitations in my own experience of talk therapy, I found it imperative to find a modality that was transformative on a deeper level, and I have since trained in the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), a somatic-based modality that enables the healing of our attachment deficits by utilizing our own Self to witness and process our Inner Child wounds. In this way, there is a similarity with Internal Family Systems (IFS), another modality I have trained in and am informed by. It is a theory that posits we are born multifaceted but that due to trauma or adverse experiences in childhood, some of our innate parts take on protective roles (otherwise termed ‘defenses’ or ‘resistance’ in other models), to ensure that our wounded more vulnerable aspects of the psyche are defended against, thereby maintaining the homeostasis of our psychological system.
My approach is informed by the belief that our dysfunctional and limiting behaviors, affects and emotions, however they manifest, are the result of attachment wounding, and I apply my training to facilitate effective healing in that realm.
