When can I expect the situation to improve?
The work process is individual, therefore there is no rule when it will happen. From experience, significant progress can be made after the first conversation.
Can it get worse?
When you go into deep processes of analyzing your patterns from the past, big storms inside you can happen. They are manifested as various pains in the body, moodiness, fears, a feeling of insecurity and the desire to stop and go back to the old way. This is a great indicator that deep cleaning has started. Then I, as a counselor, am here to support you so that you can go through this process more easily and move forward with confidence towards getting out of all dependent relationships and situations that hold you back.
Does this type of work exclude classical medicine as a method of treatment?
We are not all the same, neither conditions nor diseases are the same. Sometimes urgent medical intervention is vital: in the case of anaphylactic shock, large wounds, accidents, cancerous conditions… The work that the counseling center deals with is a process, and in order to achieve adequate results, it is necessary not to be stressed due to lack or loss of time. But it can be a huge support also during difficult medical treatments.
