Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs

Counsellor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
FREE INTRO - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine. Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by. EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”….. I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects. “Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI, FRAI
Many therapists focus on what is "wrong" and use 'referring issues' as the starting point. However, it's becoming increasingly clear that too much personal introspection, guided or not, keeps the pain of the past very much in the present. Most clients want to focus on how to feel better rather than staying focused on past hurt. I base my approaches on using the very latest findings from neuroscience to fuel the primary goal of getting from where you are now to where you want to be. A good starting point is focusing on high points in your life: by recalling those we not bring great memories into our present focus but we also recreate those wonderful feelings we felt at that time. So, just as you do your best work when you are at the top of your game, focusing on positive rather than negative feelings from the past is a great place to begin work. Just ask yourself if you make your best decisions when you are feeling low. Now compare that to when you have been so buoyed up that you feel all but unstoppable. Most people aren't 'broken'. But they may be side-lined or undermined, held back, stuck, drained, numb, or otherwise constrained by a mismatch between expectations/aspirations and how we feel. The logical brain doesn't always align with emotions and feelings. Maybe external circumstances brought about persistent low mood. Perhaps your self-esteem took a nose-dive, or maybe you just find it hard to cope, or don't feel you're in control anymore. Our thoughts often control us, and determine our feelings -- as our behaviour often depends on how we feel. Our thoughts associated feelings often don't just control us -- they often prevent us from becoming the best version of who we could/should be. Are your thoughts stopping you from being the best version of who you could be? Do you think I might be able to help you? Here's something to consider. If I can't make you feel better about yourself within 15 minutes of an initial consultation then I don't deserve to work with you. Why not let me use my academic background and decades of experience in psychological support, coaching, education, and psychotherapy to help you? I specialise in supporting those affected by cancer, but can also help with issues such as low mood, phobias and traumatic experiences, I also specialise in existential therapy and have an extensive background in the philosophy of Stoicism [not the unemotional/stiff-upper-lip Mr Spock version] on which Albert Ellis' REBT and Aaron Beck's CBT both based their therapeutic approaches.

One size does not fit all, and one therapist, using one approach, does not work for everybody. I believe that matching the right therapy delivered by the right therapist to an individual is the key to therapeutic success.
