Dear Reader,
My mother calls me her “word assassin” because I can be rather precise and direct in my words especially when angry. When I think about her saying that it makes sense that I would value precise communication and carry this into my counseling practice. I seek to harness the power of words and help my clients to do the same.
Our brains are rather complicated things that hear more than we say so I am careful to pay special attention to how both of us express ourselves. I do not do this to be difficult but to facilitate growth.
I would like us to use compassionate and mindful speech during our work together. Words have the power to heal or harm and as your therapist I will work with you to use words for your betterment.
Warmly,
Dr. Shyra
