English
| Magyar Having harsh inner critics, addictions, being afraid of rejection, needing to be perfect, feeling numb or anxious are all symptoms of trauma, not signs of weakness or personality flaws. Not disorders, but our minds' best effort to keep our heads above water. Trauma is often caused not by a single event, but by a mix of overwhelm and powerlessness over time. Removal of love, constant criticism, excessive expectations or parents who struggled with their issues when we were young led to adaptations necessary for our survival. If any of these resonate, you are not alone. I talk to people like you. And like them, you, too, can heal.
My experiential, bottom-up, attachment-based IFS-based therapy will help you recognise and transform the adaptations that were helpful responses to threats in the past but no longer serve you. I integrate modalities that go beyond the scope of what talking therapies can achieve. I help you connect to and heal your inner wounds instead of 'fixing' you.
Trauma symptoms still want to protect us; their mantra is "never that pain again." It's essential to grow compassion for all aspects of ourselves: the hyper-vigilant, the super-withdrawn, or the compulsive obsessive. Making sense of these sides of us starts to temper them. If you want to become calmer, more secure, and engaged in life, call me now.
