I am a schema therapist, cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, certified trainer, accredited in brainspotting technique.
Schema therapy is a complex therapeutic approach that complements cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, using elements from many other forms of psychotherapy. Schema is a pattern that a person imposes on reality in order to explain it and to guide their responses.
A good part of the schemas develop in childhood as a result of negative everyday experiences that occur in the child's relationship with attachment figures, resulting from the failure to adequately meet the child's basic emotional needs. The person also enters adult life with the schemas, even if they are no longer applicable.
About brainspotting
The brainspotting technique is a neurobiological tool designed to support the healing of somatization. As it says Gabor Maté In the book ,,When the body says no: the cost of hidden stress'' - ,,When you don't pay attention to emotional signals, your body says: ,,OK, here are some physical signals for you''. If you don't pay attention to them either, then you're really in trouble.''
I have been working for 5 years with a nutrition clinic (Smart Nutrition) where I offer therapeutic support to people who want to lose weight; with emotional eating problems; compulsive eating; bulimia or anorexia. I have built multiple therapeutic tools designed to help clients discover how they developed an unhealthy relationship with food and then build a healthy lifestyle.
In 2022 we launched ,,Mother's Diary - A woman's adventures in the first year of motherhood''. It has been designed specifically for young mothers to provide real support at a stage in life when many major changes are taking place, both within the family and the couple. It is a tool for self-discovery and personal development that takes place over the course of a year.
The act of journaling is a moment you dedicate to yourself, a self-discovery break. In this way you get to integrate everyday experience, give it meaning, then let it pass to make room for new experiences, without getting stuck in the past or lost in a probable future. You can become aware of different self-destructive patterns, discover their origins and why you have come to implement them and then make a plan to get out of them because they prevent you from living freely.
Anyone can benefit from psychotherapy. A psychotherapist can be a real support at crucial times when you need a safe pillar to support you in your process of self-discovery.
