My work as a psychologist-psychotherapist is to welcome troubles an individual may have and work together with him to find a way to deal with them by trying to understand underlying meanings.
Sufferance can lead to a person’s immobilizing his self-realization.
By “self-realization” I mean  a person’s ability to know himself and his worth, a person able to live mutually satisfying relationships, a person able to count on his personal resources so as to build something he is proud of, a person able to move freely among his emotions, desires, conflicts and ambivalence without running away or feeling overwhelmed. A person aware of not being able to fully eliminate sufferance from his life as it’s just not possible, but able to deal with it using a sufficiently solid emotional structure.
To be able to reach this adult state, a state which is never definitive and which continues its evolution throughout one’s life, a person can meet many obstacles which can mine his growth path, hence his chance for self-realization, and his ability to deal with feelings of unease and unforeseen events which characterize our era. Sensations of unease and sufferance which today require therapeutic help are often connected to dysfunctional relationship models learnt from birth and unconsciously perpetuated.
Awareness of relationship dynamics which are unconsciously learnt and the opportunity to live with the therapist a new relationship based on recognition and respect for diversity is what can free from sufferance and opens the way to personal realization.
