Validate my feelings

“I don’t even know where to begin as Michelle has helped me in countless ways and situations but if I had to break it down I would say that Michelle helped me to:
a) become more aware of what I feel (and where I feel it) and to validate those feelings;
b) actually listen what those feelings want to tell me and to not burry them somewhere deep inside.
I also re-learnt how to breath and to recognize those tell-tale signs when something is not okay and needs more reflection. Or when just to cry (the amount of Kleenex tissues I have used during sessions is ridiculous) and let go of it all.
Furthermore, with Michelle’s help I was able to break down reaction patterns which I have kept up since my early childhood. It takes practice and patience but being aware of such patterns is an absolute game changer.
Unfortunately, we relocated to the US and Michelle did not come with me but I will always hold those therapy sessions close to my heart and will continue working on myself.
For anyone pondering whether you should go and see Michelle, I can’t recommend her enough: You cannot go wrong with having Michelle help you on your journey! Her expertise, her humor, and her empathy will guide and support you on your way. For everything you have helped me with, I say Thank you, Michelle! Aloha” Amy

Practical Conferences Series

My clients often ask me about how to better understand the messages of their bodies. My answer is: by living more in the body!
In order to practically develop this, additionally to the individual sessions and to the group activities on Thursday morning, I decided to organize a series of 3 conferences on “Breathing”, “Sleeping and Resting” and “Digest”.
The aim of these 3 conferences is to help the participants to become more embodied.

Being stuck, overwhelmed, tired, anxious, with physical symptoms and pains have an influence on our respiration, our ability to rest and our digestion.
Release consciously tensions; be aware about the reactions to what you perceive, have a calmer mind so to notice the signals of your body help to regain control on your negative reactions.

The Ping Pong Match

In my last article I started a reflexion about being right and wrong. And how believing to be in the right side is reassuring but also creating stress and uneasiness in our body. I would like to continue this reflection sharing with you something more personal: the ping-pong match that sometimes is going on in my brain.

Sometimes, I can experience in myself – and I know that some of my clients do the same – a ping pong match between 2 scenarios or 2 analysis or 2 opposite aspects. I’m not able to stop on one side and to let go the other one. My thinking is continuously moving : on one side I have “this is wrong, but…” and on the other side “this is right, but…”.
