I inspire psychotherapists (and others) a love for trauma therapy and reliable knowledge about psychotherapy. In my approach, I integrate contemporary approaches to working with the body (I am a Somatic Experiencing practitioner) with contextual trends. I am a systemic therapist (in the final stages of certification :)) and one of the foundations of my work in the office are systemic ideas.
I have been writing about psychology and psychotherapy for 12 years (!) on opsychologii.pl that I co-run, and since 2021 also on the website you have come across. My psychological texts have been published in many national magazines and portals (including Newsweek Psychologia, Charaktery, Niebieska Linia, Teć Młodych, Studia z Kultury Popularnej, Personnel Plus, Nasza Bocian).
I run (rarely, but regularly) psychological webinars, which are worth waiting for, but at the same time worth dosing them wisely – they can make a real revolution in the work and life of the participants. I have also been educating online for years, I invite you to my webinars for specialists and anyone who wants to work on their resilience and a better, fuller life.
I also have a podcast called “Ładnie o traumaie”, where I share my trauma knowledge, generously. I am a guest on other podcasts. I teach (postgraduate) students of SWPS in Poznań. I have been educating students from scientific clubs all over Poland for years – free of charge. On my online channels, I regularly share my knowledge free of charge in the form of entries and streams with everyone who is willing to learn from me.
Make yourself comfortable.
Philosophy
In my thinking about psychotherapy, I see a person as a whole, not only through the prism of his or her psychopathology. I assume that suffering is a natural part of human life, and it is in its presence – not after its elimination – that we can truly existentially flourish. I also believe that living fully is only possible when we remain in close, lively, constantly updated contact with our values, because they help us act wisely in the presence of difficulties. I think it is equally important in therapy to become friends with your body, instead of trying to control it or avoid listening to its signals. This body is our greatest source of information about ourselves and the directions that will serve us best in our lives.
In my teaching about psychotherapy and psychology, I try to integrate: science and personal experience as well as various – verified by me in practice – trends in psychotherapy. I combine neurobiological knowledge with contemporary behaviorism, the existential area and a systemic perspective. I hope that the knowledge contained on this website will help you live and work more fully, deeper and with access to the sources of your (and your clients’) vitality.
