hege brisa straetkvern, psychologist specialist

Psychologist specialist with more than 30 years experience working as a psychotherapist.
My overall mission is to help people live more authentic, fuller lives with themselves and others, and existentially.
The therapy will be tailored to suit individual needs, and knowledge will be drawn from cognitively based -, dynamically based - and also trauma spesific- and bodily based approaches. Strategies will include psychoeducation, more traditional 'talk-therapy', mindfulness approaches, and mindful exercises or «experiments» .
A few words on working with trauma: The imprint of psychological trauma is both psychological and bodily- that is, both the mind, the soul, and the body remember it.
And people tend to relive the trauma over and over again.
Because of this and to increase vitality, psychotherapy with traumatized people must include bringing them an understanding of the «legacy of trauma» in mind, soul and body.
And help them accept and gradually validate their body experience, thoughts, and feelings; and to seek answers and help for the pain.
