SESSIONS

I offer a supportive environment where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will explore the challenges you face and work towards understanding resolution. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, allowing us to identify patterns, set goals, and develop coping strategies.

In my sessions, I integrate traditional "talk therapy" approaches—such as counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBA)—with Brainspotting, an innovative technique to facilitate trauma healing and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Approach

The Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBA) is a widely used therapeutic framework that focuses on the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It operates on the principle that our thoughts significantly influence our emotions and actions. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns and learning new coping skills, individuals can develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges, ultimately leading to positive changes in their emotional well-being and behavior.

BRAINSPOTTING

When we think about an issue that is bothering us, especially a traumatic event, we often feel some discomfort in our body. When we think or talk about what happened, we naturally look in a certain direction. You could say that our eyes choose where to look. Brainspotting relies on these natural human processes, body sensations and eye position.

To help you focus during a Brainspotting session, your therapist / practitioner may use a pointer to find a spot in your field of vision that most closely corresponds to the sensations in your body when you recall the traumatic memory. This point is called the brainspot.

In short, the processing of the trauma continues naturally until focusing on the brainspot no longer causes unpleasant sensations in the body.

This process leads not only to overcoming trauma, but also to post-traumatic growth and expansion.
