When asked how he views the counseling process, Adam offered this explanation. 

 A great deal of my work rests on these two words, "Of Course."  What

do they mean?  Well, a few things.  First, they mean that all,

literally  ALL of your thoughts, perceptions, behaviors, and emotions

today make sense.  In other words, if we can fill in all of the blanks

from your life up to this point, we can then look at any aspect of your

life  and say, "Of Course!" It is all exactly as it should be  

 given your life experience thus far.  This, believe it or not, is the 

most essential step toward your healing.  This is the beginning of the

process of really begining to understand why you are the way you are,

including why you may be experiencing symptoms of depression,

anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, ect. 

Once all of the variables of the equation have been accounted for, all

of who you are today is seen and accepted as the perfect product of

your humanness. Thus, any and all guilt or shame is held in question

and eventually let go of. 

As one begins to see this larger picture of "Of Course" they begin to

understand what characteristics are merely habit or conditioning

aquired in their formative years, and what qualities exist deeper

as aspects of their true nature, or who they really are.  This is where

ownership leads to this wonderful little thing called choice.  This is

the tool that (when accepted) opens the world of true freedom and

infinite possibility. 

Part of how I understand my role as counselor is to help you on your

journey to "of course" and eventually  through the work of letting go,

ownership, and choice.  While also providing you with the tools to

help you from "getting stuck" on the way, and staying unstuck once

you get there!
