David Suguitan, a compassionate counselor with an MA and LMHCA, understands that individuals don't simply 'get over' their struggles or choose to let them go. He believes that feeling deeply is an essential part of being human. For David, ignoring feelings equates to denying one's humanity—the heart of emotional experience can be complex and even messy. He recognizes that facing these feelings is often daunting, as it involves untangling the mess within. Yet, he emphasizes that disconnecting from emotions does not resolve mental health issues; rather, it can lead to further complications. Emotional disconnection is a common, albeit normal, response born from various circumstances—whether it's a coping mechanism during traumatic events or the legacy of upbringing in emotionally distant environments. David acknowledges the societal values that can create conflict around personal feelings. He provides a therapeutic space that is warm, safe, and non-judgmental, allowing individuals the freedom to explore these complexities, reconnect with their emotions, integrate past experiences, and ultimately strive for balance in their lives.
