Polaris Psykoterapi

It is not always easy to understand what the problem actually is. The same situations and patterns can recur despite attempts to act differently. It can feel as though we ourselves create the obstacles — or as though others stand in the way of the closeness or freedom we long for.

What has become an obstacle has rarely arisen without reason. The familiar can feel safer than the unknown, even when it hurts. We may hold on to precisely what we also long to be freer from.

The work needs a sense of safety that makes it possible to remain together with what is difficult. What limits you today may once have been the best available way of preserving a sense of balance.

Safety is not there to protect what has become habitual, but to make exploration possible. Once trust has become strong enough to carry the work, what has been kept at a distance can become possible to feel, think about and bear. Greater freedom to act can then begin to take shape.

The practice is located on Stora Nygatan in central Malmö, in an older brick building with a red façade. The therapy room is next to the waiting room and has windows onto the courtyard. The movement of the street feels more distant there, and daylight enters from the courtyard.
