My methods
Schema therapy
Schema therapy complements traditional cognitive behavioral therapy by placing much greater emphasis on exploring the childhood and adolescent origins of psychological problems, emotive techniques, the therapist-client relationship, and maladaptive coping styles. Schema therapy helps clients and therapists understand and systematize recurring behavioral patterns caused by maladaptive schemas developed in childhood. With the help of the model, the client will be able to view his or her personality problems with objective awareness and thus gain the strength to abandon them. The therapist fights against the schemas in alliance with the client using integrative techniques.

You may have experienced a similar feeling, as if the same events and patterns are repeating themselves over and over again with you over the years, which you simply cannot do anything about. Schema therapy helps you identify the thinking and behavioral patterns that are behind and perpetuate mental health conditions. You will be able to recognize the basic emotional needs that you may not have received in childhood, and you will be able to meet these needs with the help of a therapist, thus healing the emotional traumas that arise from them. You will also be able to break down coping styles and maladaptive behavioral patterns (developed to alleviate negative feelings caused by unmet emotional needs).
Integrative Hypnotherapy
Imagination (KIP)
In the process of KIP (Katahym Imaginative Psychotherapy), the therapeutic work does not take place with conscious thinking, but takes place in the visual world displayed by the unconscious. The images that appear in a relaxed state of consciousness are the symbolization of the person's unconscious, subconscious conflicts and problems. Through the images, deep-rooted fears, desires, emotions, and suppressed spiritual contents can be raised to the surface, close to consciousness. This then allows for further processing on a conscious level; it can move the person towards understanding, insight and change.
Therefore, working with unconscious symbols affects unconscious contents, creating opportunities for personality development.
Ego-State Therapy
Ego-state therapy is a method that works with the theory that the "self" is not a single entity, but consists of several different parts. This applies not only to mentally impaired people, but also to healthy people. That is why in certain situations we can feel like a slightly different person based on our behavior, speech, and emotions. Ego state therapy can reveal when each self-state arose, what life circumstances called them into being, and what their function is. The functioning of self-states that generate negative psychological or physical symptoms can be changed, so that they can become a positive and integrated part of the personality. The task of the client and the therapist is therefore to recreate these negative parts in a more positive context. So the goal of therapy in an altered state of consciousness is to address the self-parts, i.e. to allow the different parts of the personality to communicate with each other, thus opening the way to an effective reorganization of the personality.

It is possible that you have already thoroughly examined and understood the problem rationally, but this has not led to a solution. Integrative methods can help in this case. When problems are deeply rooted, it may be necessary to explore and process the deeper layers of our unconscious mind. In such situations, relaxation and an altered state of consciousness provide an opportunity to bring to the surface answers and solutions that would be difficult or not accessible at all from the conscious mind. Such deep inner work can help us find hidden answers and solutions and make them accessible to you.
