My Method
My method is based on a very simple principle.
Every activity that we perform begins inside a relational space.
From asking for a coofee at the bar in the morning to the pillow talk with our partners before going to sleep, every thing that we do finds its meaning within relationships.
Following this principle, it’s natural that even psychotherapy is, first of all, a profound relationship between the patient and its therapist, based on acceptance, reciprocal comprehension, and in the absence of judgement.
Within the protected space of our relationship, we will explore your personality, with the goal of helping you discover the way you interpret reality and your reactions, emotional and behavioral, to everything that happens around you.
By aquiring and perfectioning this self-awareness, you will be more capable of taking control over your life and deal with those aspects that you don’t like, with brand new eyes and new tools to help you along the way.
My method comes from the study and the perfectioning of the many teorical and practical teachings of different scholars and experts, and is always developing, to guarantee a care and a level of service always efficient and effective.
The main frameworks upon which my approach is based:
Attachment Theory
"A Secure Base"
John Bowlby
The Attachment Theory, initially proposed by John Bowlby, is based on the principle that human beings tend to seek comfort and protection from a person with which they have an emotional bond (attachment relationship) every time they feel vulnerable or in danger, and that the predisposition to form this kind of bonds is congenital (attachment system).
Since birth, a person will begin to develop an attachment style that will continue to form for its whole life, and will affect how it interacts with both the exterior and the interior world.
"We do as we have been done by."
The Cognitivist Post Rationalist Approach
"Complexity of the Self"
Vittorio Guidano
The cognitive-constructivist (or post-rationalist) approach, initially proposed and divulgated by Vittorio Guidano, Giovanni Liotti and others, affirms the importance of individual differences between people, and states that everybody perceive, interpret and react to what happens around them in an unique way, coherent with their life history and their individual personality.
Because of that, in a psychotherapy the role of the psychologist is different than infere, advice or judge, but instead he has the objective to help the patient, the “best expert of himself”, to recognize and understand his way of functioning.
