What is Psychotherapy & Systemic Psychotherapy & EMDR

The aim of psychotherapy is to alleviate mental suffering, to help in life crises, to change behavior and attitudes, to promote one's own potential and personal development and health.

​

Systemic psychotherapy is an independent psychotherapeutic process that recognizes people as individuals, but is integrated into a system (family, professional and social environment). A person's health and illness, as well as their personal quality of life, are seen in connection with their relevant relationships and concepts of life.

Systemic psychotherapy is based on a person's strengths and abilities. That is why clients are seen as “experts on themselves”, whose autonomy should be protected and whom the therapist treats with respect, impartiality and curiosity.

​

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)  is a trauma processing method, by Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1989-1991 which, aside from trauma, can also be used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, phobias and so on.
