The Chapel

You will not have to explain yourself.

This page is about what actually happens in those fifty minutes, so that nothing here is a surprise.

The thing people are actually afraid of

Almost nobody hesitates because they doubt the method. They hesitate because of the opening.

None of that is required here. You can arrive in the middle. Silence is a legitimate way to spend part of an hour.

What happens, in order

1

You write one line

A message. It does not need to contain the story, or a reason. “I want to talk” is a complete message.

2

A short call before, if you want one

Ten minutes, no charge, and no obligation to continue afterwards. Some people skip it and come straight in.

3

The session starts wherever you are

Not with intake, not with a form. Usually with one question: what is here right now.

4

Not only talking

Sometimes the words are not available, and that is not a failure of the session.

5

It ends without homework

No summary to take away, no plan to execute, and no next session you are committed to.

Where my line is

I am not a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, and not a doctor. I do not diagnose and I do not treat.

If what you bring needs clinical treatment, I will say so in the first session rather than the fifth.

The questions that have no ready answer do not stop being asked just because no profession claims them.

One line is enough.

You do not have to know what to say, and you do not have to be ready.
