Jacob Kabasso
Jacob’ s clinical approach is engaged, integrative, in-depth, practical and compassionate. While trained in systemic, relational and psychodynamic therapy, Jacob also employs cognitive behavioral and somatic techniques in order to break the "stuckness" that many people experience during crisis. Jacob strongly believes in the mind-body connection and incorporates physical and somatic experiential exercises into his therapeutic approach. Jacob commonly works with clients and couples struggling with relationship issues, co-dependence, depression, anxiety and body image issues.
Central to Jacob ’ s therapeutic view is the use of long-term, in-depth therapy to challenge emotional and behavioral conditioned / patterned responses to our lives and environment. Patterns of interaction and outdated coping mechanisms, which may no longer serve our best interest, can be uncovered, and new ways of approaching our lives examined.
Jacob believes that given the safety of the therapeutic process, clients will emerge, and show their authentic selves’ . It is this process where couples learn to validate the others experience and become responsive to one another’ s needs. Restored connection comes from accepting each other’ s experiences and healing the emotional wounds that have prevented them from truly hearing one another. Once clients can connect in this way, they use their own inherent strengths to make the changes they need. They become compassionate and responsive to the other.
