Old Soul ? "Mono no Aware"

 Have you ever been told you are an old soul?

I have.

I took being called an old soul as complimentary …

Yet I didn’t phantom it’s implication.

what does "Old Soul" signify?

Thank. you

My name is Ralph M Ferraro. Thank you for taking the time to explore my approach to psychotherapy.

From early on in my life I was fascinated by psychology … how do people make life choices ?  What makes people chose maladaptive patterns? The question, can a person change their life from negative patterns  to positive fulfilling behavior? How can people form positive relationships?

I spent my  grammar school in a catholic school. While in grammar school I was on the School Safety patrol to help children cross the street. I

 always volunteered for the four lane road four blocks from the school to help children and parents cross a high volume roadway.. 

During my youth their were many men and women who inspired me to serve others. 

As I got older I chose the field of social work, not to give people money but to help them gain control of their life and feel fulfillment.

 I worked my. way through  graduate school for a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work degree and an Advanced certificate in Clinical Social Work. I am licensed in New York with over 46 years of experience. I have helped clients as a therapist and as a mentor. 

I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, management of anger and difficult emotions. Interestingly most problem areas centered not around intellect but around difficulty dealing with emotions.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings and history can be shared without fear of judgment. 

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life. It  takes courage to explore the first steps towards change, toward growth. 

Thanks to developments in quantum psychology, I help a client understand 1) they are not a mistake,  2) they are not locked into behavior or experiences of the past 3) they can change to a more positive lifestyle. 

I am here to support & empower you in that journey. ~.

I specialize in helping  a client in the areas of  Breathing and meditation ~ nature walks and photography to help client makes changes in their life. I

I also employ techniques from Gottman about positive communication, team building vs destructive communication

 If a client is able to be open to spiritual dimension, I help them understand how to use spiritual energy (connection with the powers of the universe)

A client said "Not everyone can be a therapist ....>"

Have you noticed there are a lot of places on the internet offering training to be some kind of fully credentialed therapist . Back in the day, mental health or addiction treatment centers were offered as part of a hospital system of care,

So what was my client talking about. 

Engagement ~ an invite into Quantum psychotherapy (healing of the soul ~ discovering purpose)

"I am" is a powerful assertion… is it not?

How do we invite a person to embrace “I AM” 

How do we invite a person into a working relationship

To discover who “I Am” is?

To discover the mission/purpose of “I Am”?

November 11th a day of service ... a day of both

 November 11th a day to remember   

It certainly a day to remember men and women who gave genously to protect our country.

Many gave Their life to serve others. When looking at the instruments of war and the horrible consequences of these instruments, it is important to remember the people who put themselves in the path of these instruments to stop the horrible behavior of people who were abusive on a world scale.

I have a  2nd reason to remember November 11th.

The Mirror ~ the first encounter

 Who is the first person that you meet when you awake?

Is it the reflection that you encounter from the mirror in the bathroom?

What do you see in the reflection ? 

Flow ~ a continuity of beauty

 At times things are not always clear
