How we work

We combine understanding, emotional experience, bodywork and meditation practice

At Centrum Bhavana, we work in an integrative way — combining psychotherapy, psychoeducation, emotional work, bodywork and mindfulness. All of this is grounded in a relationship built in an atmosphere of trust.

We also teach active meditation methods, which can become an important tool for self-regulation. What matters to us is not only understanding the difficulties you come with and experience, but also the possibility of feeling them more deeply and working through them, so that change in your life here and now can become stable and lasting.

Integrative approach

We work with what happens in the mind, emotions and body

In the therapeutic process, we take into account different levels of experience. This allows change to include not only the way you think, but also emotional experience, body awareness and everyday patterns of behaviour.

Mind

We organise experiences, recognise patterns and build a language for understanding yourself and your reactions.

We strengthen the Inner Observer mode — the part that can see and accept what is happening inside you.

Emotions

We work with needs, wounds and vulnerable parts that need attention, acceptance and caring contact.

Sometimes emotions need permission and safe boundaries so they can be expressed — also when anger, frustration or pain appear.

Body

We treat the body as an important source of information and regulation. Working with breath, grounding, and body awareness helps us experience emotions more safely and regain a connection with ourselves. The body is our resource – it is a book of life, and the body never lies.

Our stories, tensions, defences and resources are held in the body — which is why we include it as an essential part of the therapeutic process.

Process

Change begins with safe contact with yourself

In therapeutic work, we combine emotional experience, body awareness and cognitive understanding of what is happening. This makes it possible to gradually build healthier ways of responding, thinking and being in relationship.

An important direction of our work is strengthening the inner part that, in schema therapy, is called the Healthy Adult — the part of us that can recognise needs, set boundaries and respond to ourselves with greater care.

  • we build a sense of safety and trust,
  • we recognise patterns of thinking, emotions and behaviour,
  • we work with emotional and relational needs,
  • we include the body, breath and mindfulness,
  • we strengthen resources and the inner caring part,
  • we look for changes that can be carried into everyday life.

Methods of work

From different approaches, we choose what supports a specific person and their process

Our work is integrative in nature. We draw on different methods and perspectives, adapting the way we work to the person, their story, needs and current readiness.

Cognitive behavioural therapy

It helps organise experiences, recognise patterns of thinking and behaviour, and build more supportive ways of responding.

Schema therapy

It focuses on deep emotional and relational patterns that often developed in response to unmet needs in childhood. It helps build a more supportive way of being with yourself.

Inner Child work

It allows us to meet the vulnerable parts that carry old needs, wounds and protective strategies. It supports building a more caring relationship with yourself.

Bodywork

We include breath, grounding and deepening body awareness. Conscious contact with the body helps recognise emotions, regulate them, express them and more safely experience what previously had to be blocked.

Meditation and mindfulness

Meditation teaches us to direct attention inward and focus awareness on what is happening inside us. It allows us to experience thoughts, emotions, needs and bodily states more consciously, and to meet them with acceptance.

Working with the Essences

Working with the Essences supports the return to the authentic Self — to the qualities within us that are alive, natural and deeply true, before they were covered by conditioning and defences.

Workshops and groups

Workshops and group processes

A group can become an important corrective experience. It offers the possibility of encounter, reflection, feedback and the sense that many experiences are deeply human and shared.
