ECOTHERAPY – WILD THERAPY – REWILDING THERAPY
As a psychotherapist I use an ecological approach. I use my experience and knowledge of working experientially, outdoors and with "the more than human" beings, often being part of the process. I also use my knowledge as a student of cognitive science and psychology (and my knowledge and experience from my other studies, of course). I also use my own lived experience and the learning and experience I have gained, having worked through my severe childhood traumas and ensuing dissociation.
I am of course under supervision, and I continue my own personal therapy as it is in alignment with how I see my own responsibility as a psychotherapist and the importance of continuing to tend to myself and my own learning and growth journey.
As a psychotherapist I also use the knowledge and experience I have gained through my own journey with using expressive arts and writing, as well as my studies of arts and expressive arts and studies in literature and language. I also use my experience with, and formal trainings in mindfulness and especially in trauma sensitive mindfulness.
Sessions can be given both in English and in Swedish.
Background and Learning Path
I have often been told I should become a psychotherapist... But I have always hesitated. Me? Am I not too crazy? Too wild? Too different?
When I started to write about my own growth journey, I found people were really interested and wanted more of what I shared. So. Here I am, now having taken different psychotherapy trainings (and continue to train). You can see in my CV what trainings I have taken. Taking these trainings and synthesizing what they have taught me with what I have discovered myself means I have moved from sharing what has helped me - to supporting you on your journey.
With my formal trainings in psychotherapy and my more than 12 years of experience as a growth facilitator, working with equine assisted therapy, animal assisted therapy, nature assisted therapy, rewilding interventions, using trauma sensitive mindfulness, experiential learning, etc. I feel I have a great deal to offer. Adding to that I have 5 years of experience in educating about all of this, supervising and mentoring, as well as being part of smaller research projects and collaborative EU projects.
So you see, have loads of both formal training and practical experience within my field of work. Yet, it is true that I have not taken the traditional route. I am not a psychologist, I am not a psychiatrist (or even a psychiatric nurse), I am not a social worker. I am not even a fully licensed psychotherapist from any existing psychotherapy school.
And truth to be told, I am happy I am none of that. Because it means I am not marinated in traditional views of doing things. In fact, what I offer often goes against traditional ways of doing things.
What I have done is find and build my own path and education, which includes rather a lot of different formal trainings. But as a critical thinker, I can tell you it has been anything but a linear journey for me. I think that this will serve you as a client well. It means I have not uncritically devoured any kind of teaching, it means I have tested it, experimented with it, thought about it, evaluated it and chosen what bits and parts that align with me and what I believe in about humanity and human growth and healing (or wholing as I prefer to call it). It means I am an active learner, and will always be.
