Zeljka Tomas
Psychotherapist
“I'm an integrative body-oriented and mindfulness-centered psychotherapist. I offer free first session so that we can assess if we are a good match for therapy, for which sense of safety and trust is a key.”
About Me
Approach
As a body-oriented psychoterapist, I see the mind and body as an integrated whole. In our sessions I will pay a lot of attention to how you describe feelings and physical sensations that you sense, and what you experience in your body in relation to those feelings. This is maybe the greatest difference between therapies that rely solely on the talking and body-oriented approach.
You probably already noticed that you know a lot about yourself and your problems, and although you understand everything, nothing crucially changes, at least not in the long run. That happens because we can understand everything on a mental, even on an emotional level, but the real change happens only when that knowing is also truth on the level of you body. Only then you can truly embody the change and that's why body-oriented approach is so valuable.
In our sessions I hold a safe space for you in which you will feel really heard and seen with acceptance and without any judgment. In that space we co-create an opportunity for you to see yourself in a different way, with compassion and hopefully curiosity as limiting patterns that were once protective emerge and tell a story of your life that is still stored in your body.
In the course of therapy, we will look into these limiting patterns and circumstances that created them, and gently unfold them in order to find a way towards more authentic and fullfiling expression in you life. Experience of this new way to approach life and integration of this change set a path for moving from learned helplessness towards empowerment and greater sense of purpose in your life.
