What is therapy with me? I have had the pleasure of following many people from alienation, anxiety and darkness to lives of vitality and quality of life. It is amazing how much we humans can grow if we are given the opportunity to meet ourselves and the world around us in a different way. I am happy to follow you and yours on the path.
In therapy, I want to offer a space where we can work together to understand your/their difficulties in the context of life situation, history and values. For some, awareness-raising conversations may be enough for them to experience significant improvement. Others may need time to establish trust and to practice new ways of meeting themselves and the world around them. Together we adapt the treatment to your/their needs.
Something about me: I have extensive experience working with mental illness and addiction. My interests are particularly relational vulnerability and trauma issues, which often underlie other psychological struggles such as challenges in the couple relationship, self-esteem problems, anxiety, depression, pain, eating problems and addiction. I have extensive further education in, among other things, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, body-oriented therapy, the trauma processing methods EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Deep Brain Reorienting.
In addition to being a therapist, I work as a senior lecturer at the Department of Psychology at UIO, where I lead one of the teaching clinics and teach clinical subjects. I am also a supervisor at the Department of Active Psychotherapy.
Some texts that can give a greater understanding of your difficulties and hope for the way forward:
The last two texts are partly written in a humorous way. Therapy is about taking yourself seriously. Being allowed to not take yourself so seriously can also make it easier to face the seriousness.
Is it really possible to get better, even when it seems completely hopeless? Quiet stop
Am I crazy for reacting so strongly to my partner? The world seen through a window
I'm so ashamed, it makes everything so difficult. Shame in motion
