Transpersonal or non dual psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy means to gather opposites.
The meaning of transpersonal is that, which is more than the personal.
My experience is that psychotherapy have the means to support the realisation and integration of our true nature. In the same way, questions concerning the essence of what it means to be alive, existential questions, can be examined in a psychotherapy session. Existential fear of death, loss of personal freedom, search of meaning and fear of isolation, are all doorways into the non dual nature of who we are. The word existential combines the two words ” existence” and “essence”.
The essence of existence, is of a transpersonal or non dual nature.
My approach to transpersonal psychotherapy, focuses on shedding light on the opposing movements, in our selves, better known as shadow work. This has to do with our subconscious thinking, feelings and sensations and to do with our way of experiencing, who we are, in this world. Shadow work, is possible, when we come from a gentle and open heart. The most sublime quality of the heart, is to look without judgement (even not judging, when we see, that we judge). In other words, when love is the way we meet ouselves.
How?
My training as a psychotherapist is founded in a school of integrated psychotherapy. This includes different approaches such as psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic and transpersonal therapy. In my sessions, I include all these therapies because they individually, are useful at different levels of personal development and stages of awakening. My main focus in a session, is to support you in the exploration of your immediate experience. An investigating of your moment-by-moment feelings, thoughts, reactions, and behaviours. An investigation of the physical, energetic and spiritual phenomenons in the body. I point to it and you respond and move with it.
Awakenings and spiritual teachers and masters.
Every human being have tiny glimpse of true nature, some not noticed but they might sparkle a curiosity of existential nature. More and more people have what is described as awakenings to true nature. Some, after years of introspection, study, mediation and psychotherapy and others have awakenings of more spontaneous nature. Some, after having been once or over a longer period, with a spiritual teacher or master. History and study have show, that even though, a teacher have awaken to his/her True Nature, they have not necessary, integrated true nature, into their selves and personal lives, on all levels. This, I believe, is a lifelong adventure for all human beings. Some realised spiritual teachers can, in fact, turn out to have immature selves. They can have real issues, in terms of their ability to relate, intimately to their own feelings and other human beings and can have a relatively low level of integrity, considering their spiritual state. When it comes to growth stages of personality, they are not necessary healthy and hole. This is caused by many factors, one of then being that any one of us, can get stocked in identification, with our awakening and spiritual abilities, for longer periods of time. This identification can cause a disowning of shadow/ego and with that, the ability to mature as a human being, is made almost impossible.
This is important to understand since the only real teacher is your ” Sat Guru” ( Inner guidens). We can be inspired by profound spiritual teachers but ultimately we must turn to our own awakened inner authority.

It is not enough to wake up. We must alongside awakening, grow up.
Once we have had one or more awakenings, even just a glimpse, of our spiritual nature, our world, as we knew it, is turned upside down. Nothing will ever be the same again. There is most often, a deeper relaxation into simple beingness. Alongside this delight our personal issues and psychodynamic difficulties becomes highlighted and intensified. This is where transpersonal or non dual psychotherapy can support us. Healing and understanding, how we can move freely, as infinite, unlimited, love beings, in a dual existence.
