Ericksonian psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a meeting.
At a good time, in a good place, as close to yourself as possible. About psychotherapy in the approach of Milton H. Erickson.
The company of a psychotherapist helps to voice thoughts, feel the difference in emotions and come closer to what is needed to live better. Psychotherapy is an established method of treatment that brings changes in the brain – new neural connections form, and the mind becomes more able to find solutions where they were previously out of reach.
Every therapy is different, created individually. Sometimes it is about pausing at something important, sometimes about moving on from where one got stuck. Sometimes what is needed is comfort, and sometimes encouragement in the fight.
How do I work?
Now → future
I focus on what is needed now to make the future better. The past interests me mainly as a source of resources and important experiences.
Therapeutic stories
Change requires change, not always understanding. Stories engage the intuitive, unconscious part of the mind in the search for solutions.
Ericksonian hypnosis
At times, to strengthen the therapeutic effect, I use Ericksonian hypnosis.
Understanding is not essential for change. What change needs is change.
