ESSENTIAL THERAPY: APPROACH
Feeling Alive Again
Essential (psycho-)therapy is unique in the world of therapy. Essential therapy is addressing our deepest nature, our Essential nature. Essence is the substance of our Soul, that what we are truly made of. When we feel in contact with our Essence we feel we are home and we are complete.
When we are disconnected from our essence, we feel like something is missing, we feel our life lacks true content that brings us meaning, we are incomplete.
We are born full of Essence, yet unfortunately, since mostly our parents were themselves caught in their conditioning and could not see us in our Essence, they in turn conditioned us; slowly we had to abandon our Essential nature with our qualities and talents, and eventually we forgot who we really are.
This in fact now is a paradoxical state of existence, we are made of Essence, yet we do not know it; we live in Essence, yet have lost awareness of it.
Essential (psycho)therapy recognizes Essence as a compass in the way in which we work with people. With the understanding of Essence when working with people’s psychological structures, we can better understand the origin of our clients’ issues and understand how these issues affect them at each level. The expression of a psychological issue indicates that underneath, the Soul is seeking to regain touch with a lost aspect of herself. In this light, the issue becomes an opportunity to reconnect with our Essence, so rather than changing the programming of our ego (the beliefs, thoughts, etc) we aim to restore ourselves beyond our programming to our True Nature.
Essential therapy starts with our presence in Essence supporting you towards restoring your connection with your Essence. By being seen, you can start to see you.
We work deeply to uncover the programming of the ego, it’s defenses and mechanisms. We face and embrace, in a supportive environment where we are held, all our wounds and what happened. We then slowly shift our inner position and identification from the realm of ego to the realm of Essence, to reconnect with our essential roots. Essential in this process is working with the Inner Child, with the Body .
