Therapeutic Space

It sometimes happens that certain emotions, tensions, or life situations lead us to seek greater clarity, understanding, or solutions.

In reality, what arises within us is often an inner call — an invitation to pause and come closer to ourselves.

The therapeutic space is a place to slow down, listen to what is unfolding within us, and meet our inner experience with greater awareness.

ASCA Recognition

My training in TPS (Psycho-Spiritual Therapy) includes Autogenic Training (basic and advanced levels). Through this method, my sessions are recognized by the ASCA Foundation.

Depending on your supplementary insurance, part of the sessions may be reimbursed.

Trying to Fix

When a pattern repeats itself, when a reaction feels overwhelming, or when a situation becomes difficult, we naturally look for solutions. We try to understand and fix what disturbs us.
 

Yet often, this movement takes us even further away from ourselves. When something within us becomes uncomfortable, our first reflex is often to try to change it, correct it, or make it disappear.
 

In this attempt to repair, we may unknowingly turn away from what is simply asking to be seen and acknowledged.

We may then multiply our efforts to understand or change things, while remaining at a distance from what is truly happening within us — as a part of us is trying to protect us.

The roots of our defenses

Very often, these protective patterns are rooted in our personal history.
 

In childhood, we did not always have the resources needed to welcome certain emotions or experiences, and we depended on adults who were not always able to support us in the way we needed.


These mechanisms then played an essential role: protecting us, allowing us to survive, and helping us adapt to our environment.

Fears and projections

When facing certain inner experiences, a part of us may believe that it would be too difficult, too painful, or even dangerous to come into contact with them. It then seeks to protect us.
 

Often, this happens without us being truly aware of it. We may then find ourselves constantly busy, distracted, or caught in a search for solutions and control.
 

Overloading ourselves with activities, putting things off, losing ourselves in screens, food, shopping, or countless other distractions — all ways of keeping a distance from what may simply be asking to be met.
 

An old story, shared in certain contemplative traditions, tells of a woman walking through a forest at dusk. On the path, in the dim light, she perceives the shape of a snake. Fear grips her, and she remains frozen all night.

In the morning, when the light finally illuminates the path, she discovers it was only a rope.
 

In the same way, certain spaces within us can seem threatening as long as they remain in the shadow of our fears and projections, and may therefore be avoided, denied, or pushed away for a long time.
 

Our protective strategies can keep us at a distance from what feels uncomfortable or frightening within us — what we sometimes call our shadows.

Yet these shadows are not something negative. They are simply spaces where the light of our presence has not yet reached.

In trying to protect us, these strategies can also keep us away from that light — and from the empowerment that comes with it: our presence, our inner resources, and many parts of ourselves that may have been set aside

A new experience

Today, as adults, with greater resources and awareness, it becomes possible to have a new experience — a different way of meeting ourselves and relating to others.
 

When these spaces are met with presence and gentleness, they often reveal something else: a wider space, deeper resources, and a life impulse that may have long been held back, now able to move again.


Within this space of presence, something can transform at a deeper level — not because we are trying to fix what is happening within us, but because it can finally be welcomed.

An integrative approach

My approach draws on different methods and tools, which I carefully adapt to each person’s needs and to what arises in the moment.
 

It is rooted in my training in psycho-spiritual therapy (TPS) and in the practice of Autogenic Training (basic and advanced levels), which allows for deeper access to inner processes and the nervous system.
 

This space invites you to slow down and bring attention to what is unfolding within — beyond what we consciously perceive as the problem.
 

Because often, what we are trying to resolve is only the surface of a deeper movement.
 

By bringing the light of our presence to these inner dynamics, certain protective patterns and mechanisms can gradually recognize that conditions have changed and that we now have new resources.

They can then begin to relax, making space for new possibilities.

Little by little, a life force that may have been held back or set aside can begin to flow again and find its place.
 

New experiences become possible, and other paths may arise — more aligned with who we are and what we aspire for today.
