A Glance Backward With a Foot Forward

Transform Your Perspective on the Past

It is quite possible to modify the way we view our life history and to actually increase the satisfaction we derive from past events. We do not have to continue to be hampered by earlier experiences. At any stage of our lives we can make significant positive changes no matter what occurred in the past. The human experience is filled with both positive and negative events, but all of these occurrences can be utilized as tools for enhancing our existence in the future. In fact, it is our early life challenges that provide us with the raw materials for broadening our perspectives and for reaching heights that would have been impossible to achieve. Do not allow your past to defeat you, but instead, capitalize on these opportunities for taking the next crucial step of your life.

You can learn to:

1) Minimize the power of negative past experiences and seek, discover and amplify the positive from the past.

2) Develop a perspective that enables you to utilize earlier experiences to positively impact your present and future functioning.

3) Employ practical strategies for transforming specific and common types of harmful reflections into an outlook that will allow you to elevate your existence.

How We Work at Long Island Psychology

Some people arrive wanting relief from one specific problem. Others want to understand why a pattern keeps repeating, sometimes for years, and what it has been protecting them from. Most want both, so we tailor our treatment to each person’s unique needs.

We specialize in anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship and couples issues, among other therapy specialties. Our work is led by Dr. Marc J. Shulman, Psy.D., Founder and Director, with a team of licensed clinicians who draw on CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Dynamic Experiential Learning (DEL). We see patients from across Nassau County in Garden City and Rockville Centre, and by telehealth across New York State. When you are ready, reach out through our Contact Us page.
