Q: How much does it cost?
A: The first, most burning question.
The sessions come in a bundle of 8 meetings. The price is for eight 1-hour long sessions, 1h session per week, paid in advance. That is 8 hours of sessions. And you have 3 months to use them up. Once you feel less "dramatic" we can meet every second week. Then you have automatically 6 months to use up that set of 8. Please, read the Terms and Conditions.
​
For clients from Euro currency countries: €800. For clients from Sweden: SEK8000. Any other currency, please contact me.
It might feel expensive, especially when you haven't used a private therapy before. A good therapist is worth the price. A bad therapist is going to cost you twice as much at the end: they won't help you with your issue, plus will add on to it, so you'll have two issues to fix.
What I recommend: if the price is a shock to you, especially when you're a “single income” in your “single household”, sleep on it. Think about it. Take your time and prepare financially. Consider building up a buffer for two “bundles” ahead. Consider making a monthly auto-saving order in your bank for that buffer. That will make you feel safe and secure, and less vulnerable financially.
​
If at any point during our sessions, you struggle financially, let me know and we'll talk about it. We are humans, and we all experience valleys and hills in our life.
How long does it take to heal?
A: The second most burning question.
​​
As a client we would love to know the deadline, how much money we have to put aside, when we finally will feel better…
​
I am not going to lie to you. It takes years. The first year is just the beginning. If anyone tells you that they can heal your childhood trauma within a month or two, then they are bullshitting you. Think about it, if the issue has been there for 30, 40 years, it has been a big part of your life. Especially when you were born into a family with emotional immaturity. That “thing” has been with you since you were born, since you remember. There might be behaviours and patterns that you're not fully aware of. And it's normal. So, instead of putting unachievable expectations on yourself, sleep on it, relax into it and let the process and time do its job.
​
The aim is to find the root causes of your issues rather than providing quick fixes for symptoms. Just to give some examples, the factors it depends on can be:
​
- how deep the cause is,
​
- how long it's been there,
​
- if you tap in between the sessions -- once you become comfortable with your own thoughts and feelings, it will get easier to tap alone,
​​
- your own personal readiness and willingness to explore and address challenging emotions and situations -- this is also very personal, some people need longer time to face an issue, others are very ready to do it right away. There's no right or wrong. When the time comes, you'll be ready to face “it”. When you're ready, it will resurface again.
REMEMBER:
- You are in control of the pace and speed of our sessions.
- It's okay to take breaks, stop sessions, go on holidays, take the time you require.
- Do not feel pressured to achieve immediate results within a specific timeframe. If an issue has been there for years, it will take time to heal it.
- During the sessions, you learn various methods so that you can apply them yourself when you feel you're ready for it.
​
The sessions are for you, I am here for you. Not the other way around.
Q: How and where do we meet?
A: We will meet online on a video platform. I recommend using your laptop or desktop. You will receive a link to join the session, and if you choose to use the laptop, there is no need for any installation. It is a web-based platform that allows us to connect.
If you decide to use your mobile or tablet, you'll have to download an app Teleport.
Q: How often do we meet?
A: The optimum frequency is once a week, every week. So we actually have a chance to deal with those issues. Especially, when you feel that you just can't take “it” anymore.
Once you feel more balanced, or if it would financially be easier for you, the meetings can take place every second week. Less frequent than every second week, have no sense. We lose contact, there are too many things happening in between the sessions, you feel more frustrated, and that one hour flies by on you releasing all that negative energy.
​
Again, you might be in shock. You check the prices, you check how often we meet, and it feels expensive. However, have you considered that you are actually working one on one with a therapist? That the therapist is focused entirely on you, your emotions and issues? It's not a group therapy, where a bunch of people are talking at the same time, trying to squeeze in as many own problems as possible within that one hour. Timid people may not get a chance to talk for days or weeks. During one on one, that one hour is just yours. It is a private service.
​
One on one therapy is like having a private jet plane: you sit comfortably, with proper leg space, in peace and quiet, having a conversation with the captain himself/herself. Instead of sharing your personal space with a group of strangers, at the back of the plane.
Q: How does a typical session look like?
A: There is nothing like a typical session 😉. Every session is different. But what they all have in common is that we tap a lot. As soon as we start talking, we start tapping 😃.
In the first few sessions, we will focus on getting to know each other better, building trust, confidence, and safety. Understanding the details of the issue you want to work on. I learn you, how you talk, how you express yourself, how you avoid things. Yes, avoidance happens and it is OK. It means that you're not ready to face “it” yet. It might feel scary, overwhelming, and that is why I am here for you. To make it less scary and overwhelming and be your support.
Each session may vary in terms of techniques used and their intensity, depending on the specific issue we are addressing. Some sessions may involve tapping techniques, while others may incorporate NLP methods. There may also be sessions that involve more open discussions and self-discovery.
Please, check out Shortly on how the sessions look like
Q: Where should I be during the session?
A: Choose a place where you feel safe and comfortable, such as home, a chair, or sofa. If you don't feel safe at home, maybe in your car, or at a friend's place? It's important to have a seating arrangement that allows your back to rest comfortably. Since we tap a lot, please make sure your hands are free. Avoiding public places as our sessions involve private discussions, and we want to keep it this way. Some techniques may also require you to relax and close your eyes, so you don't want to close your eyes when weirdos walk around you.
Q: What is my involvement in the therapy process?
A: Once you have become comfortable with your own thoughts flow and emotions, I would love you to actively participate and use tapping in between our sessions. When you meet your therapist once a week or every second week and only address the issue then, it creates a long pause and distance between you and the issue and in reality doesn't promote the progress.
I recommend creating a list of issues that negatively impact you emotionally. Each issue should be written as a separate point, with relevant details, and rated on a scale of 0 to 10, indicating the level of negative emotional charge. Your involvement and commitment contribute significantly to your progress and growth. How to prepare such a list, you can see here.
​
There's also another side of the list: tapping on lack of something: lack of love, lack of presence of someone or something, lack of feeling feelings when thinking about a situation that you think should bring up emotions like e.g.: anger, grief, sadness. How about making a list of the things you felt you didn't get from your parents, but you wish you had?
