Rick Manabat
Introduction
I have been working with clients for about twelve years. When I meet with a client I listen closely and respond genuinely. I sometimes use humor to break tension and to build rapport. I usually like my clients and I naturally feel hopeful for people to grow and change. Sometimes I am the only person in the room who is hopeful, but often the client comes to see reasons to hope as well. As a therapist, I do not really have a persona, but I am myself and try to be authentic. I speak pretty directly and when appropriate, I use self-disclosure. I operate from an psycho dynamic perspective which sees early ruptures as the true culprits in many of life's problems. I also use an attachment lens that also sees these early ruptures as the reason we can struggle in relationships. I find that we all want to feel safe and approved of and delighted in. When people begin to express their feelings and needs clearly, daring to be vulnerable, they start to feel better about themselves and their relationships. When that happens it is beautiful to be in the room. It is hard work to fix yourself, but it is an investment that will yield a worthwhile payoff.
