Psychology Lisbon

Have you tried the books, the self-awareness, the productivity hacks - and still feel like cognitive strategies didn‘t change much?
Like your thoughts don’t stop. Like rest doesn’t really land. Like your body is always “on.”
That’s where this introduction somatic session can possibly offer something different.
🪷 In this 1:1 somatic session, you’ll be guided gently into exploring and ‚talking’ to your body and possibly upcoming emotions. No pressure, no big expectations—just a calm, open space to slow down and notice what your body is possibly wanting to let you know.
What this might offer:
• A bit more breath or space in your system
• Subtle shifts in how you feel
• Less internal pressure, more room to just be
• A break from trying to solve everything mentally
This is for you if you’re navigating:
• Ongoing stress, tension, or low-level anxiety
• Overthinking or emotional overwhelm
• Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
• Not feeling fully in touch with yourself
What to expect:
• We meet on Zoom for 90 minutes (the link will be shared in the description shortly before the event)
• We‘ll start with talking and see how the body responds (obviously we’ll start very slow and not go into too much depth in this introduction session).
• You’ll be guided through a gentle, body-based process
• You don’t need to prepare anything or talk through everything
• We go at your pace—everything is optional, and please keep in mind that going too quickly into processing can actually be counterproductive, so we take it as it feels okay and comfortable in that moment
—>> You might walk away feeling a bit more settled, or clearer, or simply like you’ve taken a meaningful pause.🤲🏼
Please note/ Disclaimer: This introductory session is not a substitute for therapy, medical treatment, or acute crisis support! Please only attend if you feel physically and emotionally stable enough to explore your body–mind connection and any sensations or emotions that may arise during the session. By booking, you confirm that you’ve read the full description and are participating voluntarily and at your own responsibility.If you are currently experiencing significant psychological distress or are under psychiatric care, please consult with a licensed professional before attending.
-If you’re unsure whether this session is right for you, feel free to message the host in advance.
This work is not to offer quick fixes, it offers space to explore.
If this resonates with you, I‘m looking forward to meet you there.

Troube falling asleep at night? Thinking too much and not able to let it go at night? Waking up during the night, feeling wide awake, but tired at daytime then?
-Anyone having trouble with falling asleep, Insomnia or any other sleep related challenges is very welcome to join for an exchange about it, and possible ways to make improvements.
(Please read the full description before registering.)

There will be an introduction by the host and then it’s up to us, if we would like to share experiences, difficulties or simply just connect with people experiencing something similar.
!!! Note that this is not a webinar or alike — it is an exchange place where each participant is actively sharing and thus talking!!! (Obviously just as much as you feel comfortable with sharing)
— Therefore functioning videos and microphones are required. Unfortunately, you can’t participate if you don’t have a working video and microphone. Self promotion is not allowed at any time. People who do self promotion will be removed immediately.
Note that this time the host is giving additional background information + practical information on the given subject!
-> An exchange with the participants will still take place, just in a slightly different format this time.

Please note/ Disclaimer: This exchange event is not a substitute for therapy, medical treatment, or acute crisis support at all! Please only attend if you feel physically and emotionally stable enough to listen and talk with others about the given subject. And be aware of possible related topics that can come up during these event as well. By booking, you confirm that you’ve read the full description and are participating voluntarily and at your own responsibility. If you are currently experiencing significant psychological or physical distress or are under psychiatric care, please consult with a licensed professional before attending.
-If you’re unsure whether this event is right for you, please message the host in advance.
For questions (or any feedback, idea), send the host a direct message please.
If things change and you won’t participate anymore, it is appreciated that you de-register yourself in the event then again, as there are very long waiting lists! So let’s be fair and give others the opportunity then.

Looking forward.
Bests, Astrid
*The Zoom- online link will be displayed shortly before the meeting, please be on time as we have a small introduction round, we can’t let people in after 5 minutes of delay.

Have you tried the stretches, massages, the gym - and still feel like it didn‘t change much or just somehow doesn’t get to the root of it?
Like your body still feels tense. Like it doesn’t want to just let go, and relax sometimes. Like it seems to wanting to stay in control or ‘keeping it together’.
That’s where this introduction somatic session can possibly offer something different.

by very physical actions

This is for you if you’re navigating:
• physical tension, ongoing stress, or exhaustion
• hypervigilance or not seeming to be able to relax

• Not feeling fully in touch with yourself
What to expect:

• We‘ll start with talking and see how the body responds (obviously we’ll start very slow and can only go into the depth which seems appropriate in this introduction session).
• You’ll be guided through an individual gentle, body-based process, where we focus on the body, and talk where it suits
• You don’t need to prepare anything or talk through everything
• We go at your pace—everything is optional, and please keep in mind that going too quickly into processing can actually be counterproductive, so we take it as it feels okay and comfortable in that moment

Anyone struggling with Social Anxiety or can overall resonate with parts of it, is welcome to join.
There won’t be a strict agenda, it will be more an exchange place, where we can share our difficulties and challenges, but also how things might have already improved or what has helped us, and simply connect. 🪷
-> So please keep in mind that this is not a webinar! As this is an exchange place every participant needs to have a working camera microphone as everyone will be sharing. Those who don’t have a working camera and microphone unfortunately can’t participate. Self promotion is not allowed at any time. People who self promote will be removed immediately.
For questions, send me a direct message please.
If things change and you won’t participate anymore, it is appreciated that you de-register yourself in the event then again.
