River & Bank
The bank — animus

Matt
O'Brien

Depth psychotherapist

Matt holds the form. Where the work grows turbulent, he is the steadying bank — containing without constraining, giving the current something to press against so that it becomes a direction rather than a flood.

His attention is structural and unhurried. He listens for the shape a life is trying to take, and for the strength it asks of a person to hold that shape while it changes.

“The feminine flows and the masculine contains. Without banks the river dissipates; without the river the earth is cold stone.”
