There are certain general characteristics of almost all counseling and psychotherapy: supportive listening, empathic understanding, and unconditional acceptance. Sometimes this is all we need to help us through a crisis. Most of the time, however, deeper therapy and counseling requires that we examine the impact on us of our personal life histories.
Traumatic experiences are always important but so are the other painful events that have touched us deeply. For others, similar events may have had little effect on them. What is important is how our personal experiences have affected us. Trauma Therapy is one kind of work I do that addresses life's painful moments. Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse can be easily recognized as trauma.
More difficult to recognize are the trauma-like effects of parental neglect or critical attitudes. Similar small traumas include things like being the last one picked in team sports in PE, wearing braces or being lighter or darker than the norm, having relatives make sexual comments or remarking that we are too fat.

Parts and Memory Therapy is a way to do counseling or psychotherapy.
It begins with two controversial ideas.
The first is that the mind consists of many Parts or subpersonalities, each with its own submind.
It's not a single, consistent, streamlined thing.
The second is that nearly all adult mental and emotional issues result from our histories of painful life experiences.
Permanent healing of these issues comes from finding the Parts of the whole self that carry the painful emotional memories and then neutralizing those memories.
