The word stable means to be stationary, at rest, fixed, and unchanging.
If we are stable, we are not moving or growing or changing.
Stability is a resting place, but not a destination.
Growth occurs when things are pushed out of balance and become unstable.
To reach our potential, we must move beyond stability.
Dr. Jarczewski reminds clients that without internal discord there is little stimulus for change or growth.
Rather than trying to rapidly eliminate symptoms, this approach encourages individuals to fully experience their feelings and to try to maintain a positive and developmental orientation to what they may perceive as psychiatric illness.

At Beyondstable our focus is on more than medicine. Our objective is not stability, but to go beyond stability and break out of inertia.
