The word psychotherapy comes from “therapy” – that means to treat, to heal – and “psycho” refers to the mind.
Therefore, psychotherapy é a process ofseeking knowledge and personal growth, and mostly help.
It performs within a proposal to transcend the personality boundaries, connecting the person with herself and bringing to her conscience the aspects of her most deep self-being, integrating it with your body, with society and the universe.
The sessions take place individually or in group, using multiple techniques(as body therapy, relaxation, transpersonal therapy, neurolinguistics,parapsychology and regression) as a way of introduction to deep levels of selfconsciousness that allows to unleash repressed emotions, traumatic memories, dreams needed to be worked in therapy and even a interior and intuitive wisdom, capable of guiding when you need to make a decision or, even so, in health resolutions.
People are different and that’s way I created a tailored approach,focused on solving problems and using everything that’s within the patient brings, including its resistance to improve.
Each human being is a result of its own history: we’re born complety spontaneous and creative, but as time passes by we begin to be moulded and pruned because we receive different types of social behaviors all the time.
Making therapy is a search of yourself, a deep and intense search. It’s a technique of selfknowing that aims to help people answering suitably to its behaviors and emotions.
There is a powerful strength inside us that leads to evolution, maturity and independence, but often times we came across some difficulties in life that retrain us of following this huge force of nature. On the other side, there’s a social prejudice on asking a professional help: people get scared of seeing as weak and incapable of taking care of its own life. For this reason, most people prefer to ask for a friend or a relative help.
The person who starts therapy is perfectly capable of finding its ownways of help. What she/he realizes, when asks for a professional, is that doing this the process becomes more active: the person starts to understand its own history, to realize his/her responsibility on what happens in his/her life and begins to see where we contribute to our difficulties, even without realizing.
