“What most gets in the way of happiness? Our conception of happiness.” Bert Hellinger

 

When we open up to other ideas, other ways of seeing life, other attitudes and behaviours, we gain in presence, freedom and… happiness! Therapy needs to support that growth process, the internal, authentic and responsible decision of “I want to be happy”.

 

 

 

My therapy is humanist. Humanist psychology perceives humans as a whole formed by several different parts. It seeks to integrate all aspects of personality and, particularly, the most difficult side, the “shadow aspect” hidden deep within. This inevitably entails heightened awareness, where the therapist accompanies the person, in active listening mode without preconceptions or assessments. Humanist therapy is based on the premise that practically all conflicts are rooted in an internal conflict. The therapist accompanies the person through the process of “looking at himself in the mirror” with the objective of accepting and integrating what we are. The therapist also assists in searching for inner resources. It is an experiential therapy and therefore, not easy to grasp in words.

 

 

 

My therapy is systemic. We all form part of something larger, of several systems so-to-speak. Within these systems, we live and interact, everything that happens in them affects us, even though we may not be fully aware of it. Any slight movement has an impact on the whole. Considering a person in a systemic context will always provide broader and deeper insights into what that person is really like. It enables understanding of the person’s successes, failures and difficulties, but also seeing their true potential.

 

The first system and the most important for its effects is the family. Wherever we go, we carry our family history with us, with its bright and shady elements, and the effects of their successes and failures are continuously present in our individual lives.

 

"Our life resembles a tapestry, which, once woven, cannot be undone. It is formed by light and dark colours, both warm and cold, and its pattern is unique and unrepeatable. All the care we have received, alongside our injuries, has shaped us into the person we have become. If we were to have had other parents or if things had followed another course of events, we would be entirely different people, and, therefore, would not be ourselves." Peter Bourquin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the resources I turn to most is family and systemic constellations, both for individual and group sessions alike.

 

Family and systemic constellations are tools that help discover systemic embroils standing in our way. We access information through them, information that has been unknown to the individual until now and reveals the key to the person’s growth in this moment.

 

These tools are based on the idea that conflicts, successes and resources are transmitted across generations and systemically. The underlying force behind the current conflict or an individual's block could be precisely this transfer of difficulties.

 

“Walking. I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly, all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.” Linda Hogan

 

It is a phenomenological tool that seeks to reveal the reality that exists beyond appearances. It acts through resonance. In other words, the information is in the space we share and given that we are all connected, we all have access to it.

 

 

 

My goal is to accompany the person through a difficult phase he or she may be experiencing or even a certain difficulty.  Research what the difficulty is trying to tell us, ascertaining whether it belongs to the individual or has a systemic origin. Then, it is a matter of accepting and integrating it, activating or re-activating the individual resources for the task at hand.

 

For healing to take place, a responsible and committed decision-making process is required. When we take this decision, we advance to a place where all is possible, a place where we can transform our lives.
