Mr Leonard Capozzi

Psychotherapist

I specialize in mindfulness-based psychotherapy, counseling and coaching for adults experiencing chronic pain and illness, loss and grief, and stress and anxiety. I'm influenced by the spiritual traditions of East and West, and believe that our intention, attention and attitude play a vital role in promoting health and healing, whether that be physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sono specializzato in psicoterapia, counseling e coaching basati sulla mindfulness per adulti che soffrono di dolore e malattia cronici, perdita e lutto, stress e ansia. Sono influenzato dalle tradizioni spirituali orientali e occidentali e credo che la nostra intenzione, attenzione e atteggiamento giochino un ruolo fondamentale nel promuovere la salute e la guarigione, sia fisica che mentale, emotiva e/o spirituale.

About Me

I was born curious about life and about what makes us tick as human beings. It's no wonder, then, that at a relatively young age I gravitated towards practicing meditation ... and studying psychology and the world's religious and spiritual traditions, interests that I'm still passionate about to this day. My in-born curiosity has led me to have many amazing adventures, living and working on different continents, learning new languages, and seeing first-hand the beautiful diversity of our human family, all experiences that deeply inform and support my work with clients, who also happen to live and work in many different countries on many different continents. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sono nato curioso della vita e di ciò che ci spinge a comportarci come ci comportiamo. Non c'è da stupirsi, quindi, che in età relativamente giovane abbia gravitato verso la pratica della meditazione... e lo studio della psicologia e delle tradizioni religiose e spirituali del mondo, interessi che ancora oggi mi appassionano. La mia innata curiosità mi ha portato a vivere molte avventure straordinarie, vivendo e lavorando in diversi continenti, imparando nuove lingue e osservando in prima persona la meravigliosa diversità della nostra famiglia umana, tutte esperienze che influenzano e supportano profondamente il mio lavoro con i clienti, che a loro volta vivono e lavorano in molti paesi diversi in molti continenti diversi.

Approach

As Jon Kabat-Zinn, one of my primary teachers, likes to say: "You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf". Navigating chronic pain and illness, loss and grief, or persistent stress and anxiety can be overwhelming, like a huge wave that when it hits causes us to feel like we're drowning; feeling better starts in the present moment, right where we are, no matter how big and scary the wave. To this end, I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy, counseling and coaching for adults facing various life challenges. As a certified mindfulness instructor with a few decades of my own mindfulness practice to draw on, I support clients in cultivating present-moment awareness amidst the difficulties and challenges they're experiencing. We then work together to gently explore how our intention, attention, and attitude can help bring us into contact with our own innate (and often hidden) personal resources. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Come dice Jon Kabat-Zinn, uno dei miei insegnanti principali: "Non puoi fermare le onde, ma puoi imparare a fare surf". Affrontare dolore e malattia cronici, perdite e lutti, o stress e ansia persistenti può essere travolgente, come un'onda enorme che, quando si abbatte, ci fa sentire come se stessimo annegando; sentirsi meglio inizia nel momento presente, proprio dove ci troviamo in questo istante, non importa quanto grande e spaventosa sia l'onda. A tal fine, offro psicoterapia, counseling e coaching basati sulla mindfulness per adulti che affrontano diverse sfide della vita. Come istruttore di mindfulness certificato con decenni di pratica personale da cui attingere, supporto i clienti a coltivare la mindfulness del momento presente in mezzo alle difficoltà e alle sfide che stanno vivendo. Lavoriamo quindi insieme per esplorare delicatamente come la nostra intenzione, attenzione e atteggiamento possano aiutarci a entrare in contatto con le nostre risorse personali innate (e spesso nascoste), trasformando anche la sfida più difficile in un'opportunità di guarigione e crescita.
