A Life Worth Living

I help “normal” people deal with the world when their daily problems seem to be over-bearing and they don’t feel up for the tasks. I help them feel that their life is worth living, that there’s lots of beauty in this world and that they’re more capable and lovely than they dare to believe. Many people are insecure and underestimate themselves.
Dare to Believe
And I say “dare to believe” because many people dream about having the guts to bring out the best in them, dare to excel, be successful and happy. Unfortunately, they don’t know what “successful” means. They adopt the common description: being the most popular kid, best employees or boss. They dream about having a beautiful house and smiling children. But they never stop to ask themselves what does success mean to them, nor to realize that many times, those who seem to “have it all” are not as confident nor as happy as they seem. (Like the story of the sheep in the wolf’s skin).
I find that many people don’t like their life and they are not aware of this fact. Because they are not aware, they can not improve it. They live like an “automatic pilot”, who keep doing the same job, going out with the same kind of people, having the same lamenting ideas about themselves and their world. They don’t feel strong and confident enough to deal with what life is handing them.
I help people gain awareness: see how their life is, how do they feel in it. I help them to dare to want it all: to have satisfying work, fulfilling relationships, be who they really are, to shine and also help them feel like they are worthy and deserve to be happy and successful.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is unlike the more classical approaches, it concentrates on emotions, on how to express them in an adequate way and how to live an authentic life: “to thine own self be true”. Through a constant dialogue, the client get to express themselves, learn to pay attention, be aware of different aspects which were shoved into the background (unconscious) and also how to be integrated better. This description may seem a bit abstract, and that is why I offer a free first session with no obligations whatsoever, in which I can explain more about this therapy method that I work with, through “hands-on” – psychotherapy in action.
