Psychotherapy for personal and professional development
Psychotherapy for personal and professional development is for those who want an agile mind that is at peace with life's circumstances, gets stronger through life's ups and downs and has a more joyful and meaningful life.
As part of my psychotherapy training, I have had at least 12 therapies myself a year. This means that I have sat in the chair as a client at least once a month throughout my long education. I have therefore sometimes gone into therapy without a specific problem I wanted to look at, but with an investigative approach: how do I live my life and is there anything I should look at to get better well-being or to get a more flexible mind?
With this starting point, I have examined my life from the following areas: 1) the big meaning and what we believe and hope for, 2) the physical domain, 3) the social domain and 4) the personal domain (framework from Existential Therapy - Emmy van Deurzen). I discovered that some domains required a lot of energy from me on a daily basis and that I needed to take a closer look.
At the same time, I have discovered patterns in how I live life and the assumptions I make about 1) myself, 2) others and 3) the world. I've also discovered areas in life where I didn't feel I had the freedom to choose, but ended up making surprising new choices. I've also come to grips with what my values are at the current moment and how they can help me navigate a busy life in a way that makes me feel more alive and true. My purpose in life is clear and I know what inner and outer resources help me live my life.
In this way, I feel that I am on a journey where I am becoming more and more myself and spending less effort on e.g. acting (masking) in the social space. I sleep better and have more tolerance at home in the family space as I am at peace with myself. This development journey where I have become more clear to myself also helps me professionally in my job as a leader.
