I helped young children with issues related to weaning from breast milk, toilet training, and emotional and behavioral problems.
I worked with children and adolescents on
secure attachment and safe separation,
adaptation and adaptation difficulties, and boundaries education. I provided psychological support for peer bullying, psychosomatic disorders, selective mutism,
anger control disorder, fear, anxiety,
stuttering, obsessive thoughts, self-harm, distraction, child and adolescent trauma, as well as trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder in adults.
I carried out individual and group studies on adolescence problems, methods of coping with stress, self-expression, public speaking, peer relations, perception of identity, perception of gender, shame, guilt,
self-construction and self-confidence. I helped couples raise awareness of past perceptions and solve the problems they brought into their marriages.
I have witnessed that clients become more peaceful and at peace with themselves after interviews on issues that they feel helpless and hesitate to talk about, such as depression, phobia, risky behavior, and panic attacks.
We cannot erase the past and what happened, but when we remember it, we can make it hurt less and even make the pain dissipate over time. Even though we cannot control what we have experienced before, we can change our behavior now and afterwards and remove the obstacles that undermine our lives.
We can both make the changes we desire for ourselves and help our children look at their lives from a different and healthier perspective by changing our own behavior.
