The basis of the therapy is existentialistic and
phenomenological thinking within psychological and
philosophical tradition. In short, these subjects
deal with how a human being experiences his life and
gives meaning to it.
In therapy this is expressed in the way that the
therapist listens to and tries to understand the
client's point of view as accurately as possible in
an exploration of how the client experiences his
world, thoughts, emotions and general understanding.
I also use elements from Gestalt therapy, from
Psychodynamic thinking, Cognitive Therapy, and with
an overall focus based in Mindfulness. I use these
different methods to put an effort into understanding and
into helping you understand and give meaning
to your own experiences.
The therapy is an encounter with yourself. This
takes courage, since it entails taking the
responsibility for your life. Therapy can assist you
in increasing your awareness of this courage, and
what the obstacles are to you having this courage.
Transformation happens when you surrender yourself
to the process, and when you can contain the
feelings and emotions present in you at the moment
in an accepting and non-judgmental way. Thus, your
awareness of your feelings, thoughts and bodily
sensations can increase.
So, the form of therapy I practice can be said to be a
form of awareness training in order for you to be
more conscious of your own way of expressing
yourself emotionally, psychologically, bodily, and
how you give meaning to your life.
