Positive Psychotherapy

Today I want to talk about something that has changed my life and my work in ways I never could have imagined. Something that seems simple on the surface, but carries a healing power that reaches far beyond techniques or tools. I’ll also share a story from my own experience as a therapist, one that unfolded just recently and opened my eyes in a completely new way.

We live in a world that spins fast. There’s always something demanding our attention — messages to reply to, emotions to regulate, bills to pay, relationships to tend to, expectations to meet, tasks we feel behind on. And while the world spins fast outside, we often find the same spinning inside ourselves. Prayer can help to stop the inner spinning, and it's one of the most powerful tools to regulate the nervous system.

Almost everbody in this world has a wounded inner child and this does not necessarily mean that your parents did not treat you well. The reason why almost everybody has a more or less wounded inner child is that unconditional love does not exist in our world. A child almost always is confronted with conditions, for example: If I behave, my parents love me. If I misbehave, they will tell me off, and as a child I interpret this as a temporary lack of love. So love is tied to a condition and it's not the parent's fault, it's simply...

Childhood experiences can influence our choice of partners and the way we behave and feel in relationships. In this episode I will explain how to overcome past negative and limiting beliefs about family, marriage, love and emotional safety, in order to become self-loving, strong and independant, even when you are maybe feeling like you're slowly losing the ability to love yourself.
