Psychological counseling
Psychological counseling is a supportive process that will help you solve everyday problems, manage stressful situations, deal with mild anxiety and depression, addictions, challenges in partnerships and relationships, cope with life changes, eliminate and cope with chronic pain, and find your life mission.
The reason for visiting a psychologist is usually elimination of the above problems and symptoms, but the counseling process opens the door to new dimensions. By using transpersonal techniques, which encourage exploration of oneself in altered states of consciousness changes quality and intensity of awareness. The altered quality and intensity of awareness is considered an extraordinary experience that reveals what is best in a person and helps a person not only overcome problems, but also live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
Mental health problems are no longer uncommon today. Research shows that every second person will face mental distress at least once in their lifetime. People with a strong support network sometimes do not seek help, while others prefer to resolve their problems under professional guidance.
Psychological counseling with an emphasis on transformational experience is professional counseling under the guidance of a psychologist and is aimed at finding solutions and addressing emotional, social, work or school difficulties and problems. It is psychological counseling with an emphasis on transformational experience, focusing on resolving the following problems:
• Mental disorders (according to the definition of the APA; psychological counseling with an emphasis on transformational experience does not treat mental disorders in the sense of their disorder, but treats the person holistically, placing great emphasis on the most diverse states of consciousness), especially mood and emotional (anxiety and depression),
• relationship problems,
• professional or school concerns and challenges,
• coping with stress and burnout,
• coping with life changes,
• development of personal and professional identity,
• searching for a life mission,
• relationship problems,
• managing chronic pain,
• professional support in trauma treatment.
Throughout the counseling process, the client is focused on experiencing transformative events. Transformative events are all experiences that profoundly change the way they view and understand themselves in relation to the world. They are usually achieved and strengthened through somatic practices or “body-mind work,” which opens up new dimensions of consciousness. Transformative events are participatory events that bring growth and learning to all participants (for further reading on the topic, contact psychologist Jorge N. Ferrer).
