“And then the knowledge comes to me that I have space within me for a second, timeless, larger life.
R.M. Rilke, “ I Love My Being’s Dark Hours””
Welcome to ConnectedSelf!
Providing in-person and virtual sessions.
Psychotherapy is, by definition, an exploration of the psyche. At ConnectedSelf, therapy is approached with compassion, curiosity and emotional attentiveness, with the therapeutic relationship at its heart. Feeling emotionally safe, supported and contained creates the foundation for deeper exploration and meaningful change.
Dorit Osher is the primary therapist at ConnectedSelf. Together, we explore how our thoughts, feelings and memories shape our behaviours, influence how we experience ourselves and the world, and inform the meaning we make of our lives.
The relationship between the emotional and physical is also central to the therapeutic work. By gently calming the nervous system and developing a greater sense of safety within the body, we can begin to sense, feel, express and release what may have been held beneath the surface. This can open up new possibilities for understanding ourselves and making meaningful changes.
Dorit offers in-person sessions at her home office in Old North, London, Ontario, in a warm and comfortable setting designed to help you feel at ease. Virtual sessions are also available, allowing you to connect from the comfort of your own space.
However you choose to begin, Dorit welcomes you with care, curiosity and an openness to discovering what may unfold through the therapeutic process.
““Good psychotherapists are something like astronomers who spend their lives studying the stars, trying to find out why certain stellar systems behave as they do and why black holes exist. And at the end they are even more in awe of the grandeur of it all.” ”
