The Possibility Practice

I have always been insecure and defensive in my relationships. I try to hide this, by being a combination of really friendly, funny, and giving as well as tough, and often brusque. At the precipice of several very disturbing events including the death of a young friend, and the brutal murder of another friend, I totally «Lost It!». I became extremely paranoid and hyper-​vigilant. Everything I heard and saw felt like an assault on my very existence. I was physically burning in pain from the chemicals surging through my body. My mind was in very bad shape. I was fighting for my life, but nothing really, had happened to me, I thought.
Out of seemingly nowhere a flooding of severe emotional and physical abuse I had endured at the age of 14 – 16 at my brother’s hands (who was 10 years older than me) haunted me day and night. I could not stop panicking that people were out to hurt me and that no one would stop it from happening.
I remember saying to Karen, I’m having a nervous breakdown, and hearing her say back to me that perhaps this was a nervous break through! The therapy work with Karen Steinberg, both in individual and group sessions was amazing and phenomenal. It occurred to me recently that what seemed like the worst time of my life has become one of the most transformational and proud experiences.
Being with Karen in her beautiful calming office, was the only place where I felt it was OK to be «out of my mind», «unsafe», and here’s the amazing part, «to creatively make a way through it all» with Karen’s loving support and skilled approach. I can only say that Karen is the best of the best in her field. I have worked with at least 15 or more therapists in my lifetime. No one comes close to Karen’s integrity, smartness, and creative practice. As her manifesto reads, she will help you to take your greatest obstacles and turn them into discovery and possibility, in short to «create your life».
