Therapy
The Healing Experience of a Healing Relationship
Psychotherapy as a Matter of the Heart
Psychotherapy is a matter of the heart for me. My aim is not to try to fix anything about you.
There were good reasons in your story for developing the patterns of behaviour you have today. Let us explore them together. By feeling and understanding them together, they can gradually become integrated.
At the time, developing these patterns was a wise response, probably even the best thing you could do under the circumstances. They deserve to be acknowledged and honoured.
Meeting the wounded parts within you – your inner child – with kindness and compassion can be deeply nourishing.
Every trauma, whether developmental trauma or shock trauma, is rooted in a situation in which we were profoundly alone, even though we needed help. Today, we can gently look together at the feelings that arose back then. Simply bringing them into awareness can already bring relief and relaxation.
At the same time, you begin to realise that you are so much more than all those wounded parts within you.
Body, Heart and Soul
Body Biodynamic Body Psychotherapy, based on the work of Gerda Boyesen, provides a powerful foundation for reconnecting with and sensing the body.
Through creative approaches such as Essential Movement, Dance Therapy and Vegetotherapy, the whole system of your being is invited to express itself. Difficult experiences from your biography can be processed, understood and digested.
Mindful touch and massage can bring relief and support integration. Transformation takes place. Your awareness naturally deepens into the breath. The body becomes alive again, with a renewed sense of joy.
Heart Your heart begins to breathe again. Feelings are felt and witnessed. Slowly, something deep within you begins to trust. Relaxation finds its way into your everyday life. The door to the heart opens inward.
Soul The present moment moves to the centre of your experience. And before long, we find ourselves in meditation.
Here, our awareness can open into realms that reach far beyond the body, emotions and concepts. We experience spaciousness. Infinite space. The quantum field becomes something we can experience directly.
Change becomes easier. Genuine inspiration arises without effort. In golden moments, a sense of flow emerges – a connection with something greater. Your soul feels invited to shape and create your life.
Our task is not to seek out love, but simply to uncover the barriers within ourselves that we have built to keep it from reaching us.
– Rumi
I accompany you with warmth and care, offering individual, personal support that brings together body based, psychotherapeutic and spiritual approaches.
….a few more words about working with the Inner Child
Young children need caring, attuned people around them to help them regulate and navigate their emotional world. Our inner child longs for this too.
And all too often, this longing continues to influence us in the present, unconsciously shaping whom we choose as our partners. This can become a source of many conflicts…
Something similar can happen within a good therapeutic relationship. In a safe and protected space, the younger aspects of our soul can gradually mature and develop. We all long for a true encounter with another person – someone who can genuinely attune to us.
That is why I believe it can be helpful to work together regularly for a period of time. In my experience, this is when a deeper, more fundamental healing can begin, reaching all the way into the cells.
Then, slowly, layer by layer, you can begin to let go of the fears, resistance, misplaced inhibitions, distortions, protective patterns and defences against other people and life itself that you have learned along the way.
You are gently supported in reconsidering and releasing the judgments you hold about yourself, those close to you, and the world around you.
- The overwhelm you experienced back then can be acknowledged and felt today.
- The overwhelm you experienced back then can be acknowledged and felt today.
- What your Inner Child was not allowed to express can now find its own voice and form.
- What has remained unspoken can now be put into words.
- Relationship and attachment can now be learned, experienced and practised.
The world needs awake, attentive and compassionate people who are capable of loving one another.
