A Backstage Pass to Life Edit Therapy
If you knew my family, you would understand.” I laughed out loud when I read the words stenciled on a wooden plaque, walked it to the cash register, and promptly hung it in my therapy office. Truer words may have never been penned.
Being granted a backstage pass into the lives of beautiful humans is one of the privileges of a therapist. I have logged hours bearing witness to the childhood memories of clients. Together, we tenderly untangle their family of origin stories, which have shaped how they view themselves, others, and the world- a view that impacts every area of life.
A year ago, I stepped back in time as K.D. Gonzalez Photography and I returned to the property where I spent the first 24 years of my life. The current owner of my childhood home warmly welcomed us as we walked the land and entered some of the remaining structures where my views of self, others, and the world were crafted. Over the coming weeks, I invite you to join me as I share some of my story with the hope of helping you make sense of yours and providing a backstage pass to the heart behind Life Edit Therapy.
