INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
Integrating the following trends
COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY
Cognitive psychotherapy believes that thoughts, feelings, experiences and actions are interconnected. Values and beliefs are seen as guiding factors in human activity. In particular, rigid and limiting beliefs are challenged to become more flexible, so that acting and feeling differently would be possible. In therapy, we practice accepting that thoughts that invade the mind cannot be prevented. How we respond to these thoughts affects a person's well-being. In long-term psychotherapy, we consider how various beliefs may have formed in the past. In psychotherapy, we transform the critical and demanding inner voice into a compassionate and appreciative inner voice.
SOLUTION-FOCUSED PSYCHOTHERAPY
Solution-focused psychotherapy focuses on strengthening a person's sense of competence by recognizing their existing resources, strengths and skills and practicing new skills. Changing perspectives creates more flexible ways of looking at things and changes the relationship with oneself and one's environment. Solution-focused psychotherapy focuses on the importance of language as a builder of reality. The language used and the way a person views the world affect the things to which their attention is directed. Psychotherapy trains them to pay attention to successes and situations that produce strength and hope. Psychotherapy focuses on changing the way they think and feel through ways of acting and alternative perspectives.
SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY LEVELS 1 & 2
Sensorimotor psychotherapy focuses on the human body language, which has begun to shape itself as a characteristic of us since the womb. The work is characterized by a curious lingering around the body. The therapy aims to become more aware of the body's reactions and feelings in the here and now when dealing with situations. The body is harnessed as a resource alongside the cognitive, or "common sense". In the treatment of traumatic events, the body's incomplete bodily defense processes are attempted to be completed, so that the overflowing emotional experiences related to the trauma are extinguished. Instead of traditional linguistic sitting therapy, sensorimotor work focuses on bodily exercises that increase presence and defuse body reactions.
