In the world of therapy and healing, there are many ways to address health and emotional problems. In this article, we explore three distinct but powerful approaches: neuro-linguistic programming, psychodrama and German New Medicine, through a conversation with therapist Isabel Cuadra.

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): Reprogramming Your Mind

Neurolinguistic Programming is a therapeutic technique that focuses on changing thoughts and behaviours to achieve more positive results in a person’s life. Isabel Cuadra explains that NLP uses communication and behavioural techniques to help people reprogram their minds to overcome blocks and anxieties.

In a typical NLP session, Isabel uses calibration to carefully observe the client’s state, paying attention to their body language and emotions. She also establishes a relationship of trust and understanding with the client, allowing responses to be generated more effectively.

Other elements of NLP include using sensory words (visual, auditory or kinaesthetic) to reach the client’s awareness and anchoring, a technique that creates positive mental associations.

Psychodrama: Releasing Trauma Through Theatrical Representation

Psychodrama is a therapeutic technique that involves acting out situations related to personal or pathological conflicts so that people can become aware of them and overcome them. In a psychodrama session, objects such as dolls, paper or cushions are used to act out therapeutic situations.

Isabel Cuadra shares an example in which a client had difficulties in maintaining romantic relationships. Through psychodrama, they discovered that this problem was related to a subconscious mandate the client had received from his family, who considered it dangerous to fall in love.

By acting out this situation, the client was able to become aware of the root of his problem and begin to work on his personal transformation.

Germanic New Medicine: Cracking the Symptom Code

Germanic New Medicine is based on the work of Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer and focuses on discovering the relationship between physical symptoms and emotional conflicts. This therapy holds that symptoms are biological programmes designed to adapt to unresolved conflicts.

Isabel Cuadra notes that this therapy does not replace conventional medical treatment, but complements it.

German New Medicine proposes that when a symptom appears, it is a biological solution to an unresolved emotional conflict. Cracking the code of a symptom allows us to understand and heal unresolved emotional conflicts. In many cases, chronic symptoms can disappear when the underlying emotional causes are addressed.

In short, these three therapeutic approaches offer people the opportunity to transform their lives and overcome emotional and health blocks.

Whether it is reprogramming the mind with NLP, releasing trauma through psychodrama or uncovering the meaning behind symptoms with Germanic New Medicine, each approach has the power to change people’s lives for the better.

Choosing the right therapy depends on each person’s individual needs and preferences, but all offer the promise of a path to healing and personal growth.

How Psychotherapy and Jewellery Artistry Merge: A Personal Journey

In the realm of self-discovery and personal growth, the paths we choose can often lead to surprising intersections. Isabel, a skilled psychotherapy practitioner, shares her unique journey of balancing her life as an artist jeweller with her newfound career in psychotherapy.

This transformational journey offers insights into the power of self-awareness, gratitude, and the integration of seemingly disparate pursuits.

The Evolution of Roles

Isabel’s journey begins with a shift in her professional focus. She recounts how she transitioned from crafting jewellery to working in a consulting room as a gestalt therapist. This transition, though seemingly unrelated, is a testament to the fluidity of personal growth.

Isabel acknowledges that while her jewellery-making has taken a back seat for now, she believes there will come a time when she can seamlessly integrate both aspects of her life.

Anchoring Symbols in Psychotherapy

One intriguing aspect of Isabel’s journey is her vision of merging her artistic talents with psychotherapy. She mentions the possibility of creating symbols from psychodrama that could be worn as jewellery, serving as reminders of therapeutic breakthroughs. These symbols, she suggests, could help anchor the progress made during therapy sessions.

A Morning Routine Rooted in Gratitude

Isabel’s commitment to personal growth extends to her daily routine. She starts her mornings with a practice of gratitude. Before even leaving her bed, she engages in a short meditation, repeating the words “thank you” as a mantra.

This practice was imparted by her therapist, and Isabel attests that it has significantly altered her perspective, infusing her days with positivity and motivation.

The Wisdom of the Enneagram

For those seeking personal development and self-discovery, Isabel recommends a life-changing book by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson called “The Wisdom of the Enneagram”.

This book delves into the enneagram as a powerful tool for understanding one’s own strengths, weaknesses, and psychological types. Isabel highlights the importance of self-knowledge, both for personal growth and as a therapist.

Passion for Gestalt Therapy

Isabel’s current passion lies in the field of gestalt therapy, a transformative journey that emphasises presence, awareness, and listening. She describes how tuning into the present moment, perceiving the energy of her clients, and empathising with their experiences are crucial aspects of her therapeutic approach.

The journey of gestalt therapy has profoundly impacted her, leading to emotional and intellectual growth.

The Reciprocity of Therapy

One remarkable aspect of Isabel’s journey is the reciprocity she experiences as a therapist. She shares how helping her clients also helps her in return. The therapeutic relationship becomes a contract where both parties are transformed and changed through the exchange of energy and understanding. This reciprocity is a driving force behind her passion for therapy.

As we navigate our own paths, we can draw inspiration from her dedication to helping others and herself on this journey towards wholeness.
