They have trusted me

Carmen’s support is a real solution for anxiety, panic attacks, and trauma recovery.

When I first met Carmen, I was experiencing massive, totally paralyzing panic attacks. They prevented me from leaving my house and had not been resolved at all by more traditional approaches: therapy with a clinical psychologist, EMDR with a psychiatrist, or hypnotherapy. Despite everything I had already undertaken, I remained stuck.

What made me want to start working with Carmen was, first and foremost, the human connection. I was able to talk with her, follow her on social media, and clearly understand what Somatic Experiencing was. Being trained in Polyvagal Theory myself, I could see that my knowledge wasn't enough for my own case; I needed to be supported by someone very solid on these issues—specifically regarding panic, for which I had found no effective answer until then.

What I particularly appreciate about working with Carmen is both the person she is and her way of guiding the process. The 'click' was there immediately. In every session, things unfold with great fluidity. Over time, I’ve noticed very concrete changes: I’m regaining self-confidence and inner safety, and above all, I am gaining ground over the panic.

Today, I go to shops more and more often, leaving the house has become easy, and I even went back to the cinema—somewhere I hadn't been in over two years.

For me, this support is a real solution when you’ve already tried everything without success to free yourself from panic. I would particularly recommend it to people who have already followed traditional therapy (psychologist, psychiatrist) and have sometimes worked on their traumas, but who still remain stuck in their daily lives by anxiety and panic attacks. When classic approaches aren't enough, this work makes perfect sense.

I therefore recommend Carmen’s guidance very warmly

Carmen, thank you so much for everything !

Carmen, thank you so much for everything! Thank you for all the sessions we’ve already done together in the Reconnexion program, even from the very first session, I felt an enormous difference.

Right after that first session, in which we worked on that “knot” I’ve carried in my stomach for sooo many, many years, I experienced immense improvements. Honestly, I still can’t believe how much that session helped me. Although it sometimes comes back, I’m now aware of it—why it’s there, what it’s trying to tell me, and I also know what I need to do with it.

Since that session, I’ve been able to handle stressful situations in my professional and even personal life in a completely different way.

I keep working with you consistently to resolve the rest of my challenges, and I know that with you by my side, I will succeed.

From Inner Tsunami to Profound Calm

So many emotions have mixed together for me over the past two weeks: panic fear, relief, bursts of laughter, the heaviness of daily constraints, sadness, the joy of reunions, frustration, impatience…

And in my body—this immense tension.
From the outside, I handled everything as I should have.
But inside, it was impossible to relax.
I knew exactly what I needed: to let out the emotions tied to intense fear. My mind knew perfectly well that everything was fine, but my body still held onto that emotional charge. And I felt the resistance to letting go—if I relaxed even a little… a tsunami might sweep me away.

There’s a huge difference between understanding what’s happening in your body and actually feeling it.

Carmen guided me through a Somatic Experiencing session. After hearing so much about it, I was very curious to experience it firsthand.

It was exactly what I needed: to feel safe with a trusted person, to gently tune into my body, little by little, to dare to express what I’d been barely holding back, to live it, feel it, and stay present with these emotions. To sense movement inside—fear making space for sadness, and then for aliveness. To feel urgency give way to calm. To be held and supported through those overwhelming waves.

I arrived feeling pressured and raw.
I left tired, emptied out, yet calm.
Connected to my bodily sensations.
And full of gratitude for the beautiful encounters on my path.

Thank you, Carmen, for your gentleness, your listening presence, your patience, and your compassion.

What I discovered by reconnecting with my body

Before I started working with Carmen, I used to repress my emotions.
I pushed them aside, into a bubble, never giving them any space.
The result? They spilled over. Anger, sadness, fear, anxiety... I felt bad without really understanding why.

I've known Carmen for a few years.
We had little contact, but every exchange created a special connection.
Or at least awakened a need in me: to be heard, understood, supported.

A few weeks ago, I felt it was the right time to turn to her.
I didn’t know she had trained in Somatic Experiencing and Compassionate Inquiry — two powerful, gentle approaches to meet yourself with kindness.

When she spoke about them, it just made sense.
It was time to begin this inner journey, with her.

What I deeply appreciate in our work together is Carmen’s constant gentleness.
She doesn’t push. She doesn’t expect.
She simply invites me to move forward at my own pace.
She perceives, senses, adjusts…

And often, during our sessions, we touch something deep, almost invisible, but so true.

Today, I’m learning to recognize my emotions, to listen to the physical sensations they bring.
They’re there, and they have a place.
They’re connected to old wounds, to parts of me I’m slowly rediscovering.

And most importantly, I’m learning to stop running away from them —
nor letting them overwhelm me.
Just... making room for them.

One moment especially stayed with me:
Realizing emotions are part of me.
It’s not about controlling them, but accepting them.
And in that space of acceptance, something softens.

If I had to sum up this journey, it would be:
Exploring. Feeling. Recognizing. Naming. And Welcoming.
With accuracy, with balance.
And above all, with Carmen’s precious support.

I would recommend this work to anyone going through depression or trauma.
Because it’s rare to be accompanied with such tenderness, presence, and humanity.

Thank you, Carmen.
With gratitude.

A Unique and Different Therapy Session

The session with Carmen was special and different from all the other therapy sessions I have had so far.

Right from the start, Carmen created a safe space where I allowed myself to open up and be myself. We set a clear intention that we explored throughout the session.

Carmen used the Compassionate Inquiry technique, which brought me several "aha moments" in relation to the chosen intention. She has a gentle, warm voice, an empathetic presence, and a very pleasant sense of humor.

I never felt judged for what I was saying. The entire session flowed smoothly, with each question naturally connecting to the previous one, helping me understand more and more about the topic I was working on.

It was a beautiful experience, and I warmly recommend therapeutic work with Carmen.

Little Adina is no longer alone and powerless.

Dear Carmen, thank you for yesterday's session. It came at a moment of settling in my life, and what we worked on together brought me a greater sense of empowerment. I thank you with gratitude for the space you created, your gentleness, and for how you guided me to get out of my head and my fast pace to connect with my body. Little Adina is no longer alone and powerless. I embrace you with love and wish you to reach as many souls as possible.
