Understanding Emotions and Their Power
Nov. 20, 2024
Strong parts and soft parts. They are all the things that make us men.
Aaron Silverman's style
😃 Humorous 👂 Listener 🙌 Affirming 🔥 EnergeticWhy Aaron Silverman chose to be in the helping profession
In 1998, after one year of college, I enrolled in a yeshiva and learned full time. In 2009, after 3 years of informal clinical experience, I received more professional skills in communicating ways for other people to get to know themselves when I went to graduate school at Touro College for my social work degree. I graduated in 2013 and since licensure, have had a great experience teaching, consulting, supervising, and practicing privately.
Aaron Silverman's approach
Men have a lot of challenges that make it hard to live up to self-expectations. I specialize in helping men achieve love. Self-love and loving others, after a long marriage or before dating, I help men mature towards appreciating essential qualities and finding peace and sexual health. Through having a relationship first with all of our own parts - our responsible, tough, go-getter parts, and our softer, slower, empathic parts, a man can feel more whole.
I use Mindfulness (general awareness), Somatic Experience (body awareness), EFT (emotional awareness) IFS (Parts awareness), Motivational Interviewing (motivation awareness), and CBT (cognitive awareness) infused with Jewish values.
What you can expect from sessions with Aaron Silverman
Therapy sessions are a very personal process, where you don't have to know where to go on day one. With whatever place you've come to, I'll meet you, and in an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance, and curiosity, we can see what parts of yourself are coming out today. Therapy has chemistry to it; I invite you to reach out to speak and see if we're a good fit.

Emotions are an intangible, integral, and powerful part of our persona and our ability to fully feel and spark joy is dependent on awareness, memory and vocabulary.
