3. INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
3.1 What to Expect
Individual sessions are conducted in a safe, confidential space. We explore your issue one-to-one using objects, figurines, or metaphorical cards to represent people and dynamics. This approach is perfect for sensitive topics or those who prefer intimate settings.
Session Process:
- We get to know each other and clarify your request
- We explore the root of the issue using objects or metaphorical cards
- We use resolving phrases to release emotional charge and support acceptance
- Zero Point or other techniques are applied as needed
- If required, we may explore deeper layers and repeat the process
- The aim is a visible release in the field. Resolution may be immediate or may take time.
What has been carried for many years sometimes needs space to unfold and dissolve. We initiate the healing, and the Energy-Information Field completes the work.
3.2 Session Duration and Location
Duration: Approximately 2 hours
Individual sessions typically last around 2 hours, although exact timing can vary. Most sessions take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. Please plan additional free time afterward to relax and avoid rushing.

For information about our group sessions, availability, and booking, please visit our Eventbrite page (linked in the Group Sessions section of our website).
Group sessions follow the same therapeutic principles as individual sessions but use representatives (people standing in for key elements of your system, such as family members, important life events, or emotional themes) instead of objects or cards.
Participants in group sessions agree to maintain confidentiality regarding other group members and their personal information.
