My areas of expertise
Self and interpersonal relations
Relationships, Trust
Engaging in healthy interpersonal relationships is vital for nurturing an emotionally secure environment. Integrative therapy can facilitate the exploration of these relationships with confidence and authenticity.
Self-confidence
Self-confidence arises from recognizing one's own abilities and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Integrative therapy can aid in bolstering self-confidence by encouraging the exploration of one's abilities, talents, and resources.
Self-reflection
Integrative therapy, particularly through cognitive-behavioral approaches, encourages the examination of our thoughts and beliefs, indicating intellectual maturity. This is a crucial process for fostering personal growth and adaptability.
Guilt, Self-blame
Integrative therapy offers the opportunity to explore and understand the mechanisms of guilt and self-blame, which are crucial steps toward self-acceptance and resolving internal conflicts.
Psychological distress
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural bodily response to stress or danger. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, and starts to interfere with daily life, it can become problematic. Integrative therapy employs techniques such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and relaxation to help manage anxiety more effectively.
Anguish, Depression
Depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in usual activities. It's important to differentiate between temporary feelings of distress and clinical depression, which should be assessed and diagnosed by a mental health professional.
Exhaustion, Burnout
Overwork and burnout manifest as physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion due to chronic work-related stress. Integrative therapy offers various methods to explore the root causes of burnout and establish healthy boundaries to prevent recurrence.
Difficulty identifying
emotions
Difficulty in identifying or expressing emotions, known as alexithymia, can increase the risk of various mental health disorders such as depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, and psychosomatic disorders. In integrative therapy, mindfulness and emotion-focused psychoeducation can assist individuals in better recognizing and navigating their emotions.
Aptitudes psychosociales
Stress management
Stress management involves developing skills to handle the demands and pressures of daily life. In integrative therapy, approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and mindfulness can aid in enhancing stress management.
Decision-making
Decision-making entails objectively assessing options and determining the best course of action in a given situation. In integrative therapy, decision-making can be explored through methods such as cognitive therapy, transactional analysis, or values-based therapy.
Communication
Effective communication requires clear and appropriate expression of thoughts, feelings, and needs, along with active listening. In integrative therapy, approaches such as transactional analysis or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are commonly employed.
