Opinions:

 

“I received a lot of factual information, and at the same time I was able to develop the ability to consciously stay in contact with my own and the client's body. I felt it clearly in my practice as well as in private meetings. Very warm and cordial contact, full of mindfulness and awareness of what the bodies reveal to each other.”

— Cezary

“I highly recommend participating in the specialist training 'Psychotherapy for people with schizoid and narcissistic disorders'. The training contains a lot of useful theoretical information, comprising in a handy script and, above all, a lot of practice during the workshop itself. (...)”

— Alicja

“It was an important workshop for me. I have already known a bit about Julianne and her way of working, I also knew some content that we were discussing very thoroughly in psychosomatics classes during the systemic therapy training, but this workshop put everything together nicely. It was a kind of grasping buckle. This will help me both in working with clients and in my own approach; in developing my own integrated way of working and therefore also sharing this workshop and knowledge with others during my trainings.
