In our attempt to alter self-defeating thoughts and behaviors we often, and unfortunately, reinforce them. Because we enact them every day, we can confuse these habits with who we are. Perhaps our work is to end our flight from historical trauma and fears and learn that it is not our fears that are the problem but the fleeing itself.
I provide a different perspective from a traditional psychotherapeutic process. Psychotherapy is a treatment by an expert for a person with a diagnosis or pathology. I do not regard the work I provide as a treatment, for the simple reason that life's challenges and our childhood responses to trauma and neglect are not pathologies but coping strategies.

I have seen that for many people, psychology without spirituality lacks the depth needed to understand the breadth of our human experience. And, spirituality without psychology lacks specificity and concrete solutions to address everyday life and its traumas. I find that most of our blocks to spiritual or psychological growth are a function of our attempts to exclude parts of ourselves.
Writing as a therapist and psychoanalyst for the past four decades, I want to praise the work of Dr. Alifano, whom I call Randall. I've been with him as a client for 13 years, and its not enough. I continually learn from him, enjoy his wisdom and humor, and relatedness. He uses no jargon, meets you where you are, and is very present.
