Therapy Without the Bullshit

Welcome to the Open Understanding Website! In short, this is a place for people to seek genuine, one -on-one help – thus, “Therapy, without the bullshit.” While I don’t believe that all therapists are bad – some are very good at what they do – I feel that many people are a little intimidated, or at least annoyed, by conventional therapy, particularly how it’s presented in the media. “Lie down here and tell me how you feel” – I do not feel that this method is particularly effective, so it is not at all what I do.

Additionally, I feel many therapists haven’t experienced much trouble in their lives – at least not compared to their clients. This makes it very difficult for them to relate to and actually understand what their clients are going through. Genuine empathy is a very powerful thing, and I think it is something many therapists lack.

My goal with this website is to offer a service that scraps what is known as “therapy” in the modern world, and provides something more direct and genuine. I want to help you, and I want it to be a simple, relaxing experience. For more information, please head over to the About page, where I go into exactly what this website is and what I do.

While this website is now fully launched, there are undoubtedly a few problems to work out, and a few minor things missing. If you notice any problems, please send an e-mail to contact@openunderstanding.com.
