After a decade of working with trauma as body-oriented psychotherapist, around 15 years in that field first as a client, student, later on as practitioner, teacher and professional, with deep gratitude for the road traveled and the sense of completion I would like to share
I have decided to stop working with trauma and 1:1 sessions as a psychotherapist.
As this change has been coming over time, many of you will not be surprised.
The reasons for it are many, but first and foremost is that for me being in the space of trauma, pain, depression, panic attacks, anxiety, rage, devastation and numbness almost every working day for over a decade came fo the point where my mind, heart and body as well as my whole system do not wish to be in.
I feel a strong call personally and professionally to even more focus on, immerse myself in and help create the beauty, wholeness and health this life has to offer as much as I can in a different way.
I would like to be perfectly clear that for many many years I have been present full heartedly for psychotherapeutic way of supporting our human condition, transformation, growth and personal journeys. I have served with passion and love for every single human entering my space. I also recognize that I reached the time where the burdens of this profession, not in a way of my client’s journeys and stories, but in the way of what is needed from me to keep on holding space for it in this way, stopped being evolving for me in the way I wish to grow further. I also recognize the need for this space, the value it gives, and has given to me and through me and many other incredible colleagues and am happy to see the new generations ready to dive deep and skillfully hold their space in their own unique ways.
I feel that over the last decade I have given all that I’ve got in this profession, mostly my love, time, creativity and dedication. I feel blessed for every human being, every soul that walked into my practice, and I hope that I have served your journey with love, support, humility, courage and integrity to the level we once made a contract.
As of this moment I feel that part of my service is complete and it is time for new ways.
I remember how much passion I had for it before. Now I have it for many other projects.
My service to Life and my love towards us humans and our human condition is stronger than ever. It is just changing shape of how I do it.
So, since this moment, I will not be taking new clients in psychotherapy, but I will be supporting building new creative and life-affirming ways, finding pathways for bringing and consciousness and heart into every part of our existence - social, cultural, educational and political structures.
I will continue doing so through in the ways that I have worked for many years, implementing all my knowledge and skills, including psychotherapy, only with greater focus, working with in the present and creation of the future we want to live in, through:
Mentoring
Coaching
Supervision
Teaching and supporting space holders and therapist
Systemic changes for companies and different systems
Movement Medicine Dance classes & Workshops and Ceremonies
Process work workshops
Educational workshops
Healings
Rites of passage
Ceremonies (including personal ceremonies for different life events)
Writing
Many years ago I decided not to go on the path of the ‘great teacher’ to be risen on the pedestal but rather to become an ‘alongside support’ to my clients, naming the process at the background and holding space for them to grow into their own power rather than holding it for them. I feel blessed to be a witness of growth of many many of you incredible humans who have touched my heart deeply trusting me with your journeys. I do apologize for my human imperfection and mistakes I have for sure made along the way, hoping that the goodness given is in no question greater than them.
And I am deeply grateful for you being my teachers - my heart is bigger for knowing you!
I will continue cheering for you with all my heart and looking forward walking alongside you on this Earth in another way.
With whole lotta love, respect deep deep gratitude, heart cracked open, vulnerability of this place, but also so much joy, and excitement for the road ahead
