They have trusted me

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.

Following a 3-month therapeutic coaching

Carmen provides a warm, trusting, and supportive space. She is very attentive and available. Above all, she adapts and tailors the content of the sessions with us. She provides the tools to help us understand, with great pedagogical skill. SAJECE hypnosis and Somatic Experiencing are valuable resources, alongside the vagus nerve approach/ polyvagal theory. The results reveal themselves gradually throughout the process, sometimes even without us realizing it in the moment.

Professional breakthrough

Through this acknowledgment, I'd like to express my gratitude to my coach, Carmen, for her insight, dedication, and unwavering support provided. Through meticulously crafted narratives with profound potential and her support, I have unlocked new possibilities. On a professional level, I juggled three jobs, with my primary role ceasing to offer the fulfillment I sought. However, following our sessions, previously unimagined horizons have emerged, that I hadn't even dared to dream of.  I am immensely thankful for the invaluable time and guidance you have extended to me.

Polyvagal theory coaching

Through this testimony, I want to express my gratitude to my coach, Carmen, for her understanding, dedication, and support in the "journey" of self-discovery through a wonderful method - the polyvagal theory.

This journey took 3 months.

Carmen helped me identify and explain the states I go through in my daily life, to be aware of what I feel in my body, and to manage my emotions. While in the early sessions it was relatively easy for me to understand the theory and identify my ventral, dorsal, sympathetic states and moments of "rupture," transitioning from one state to another (inherent in personal or professional life), I was completely surprised when Carmen identified my avoidant state.
Coaching helped me "release" feelings, desires, emotions, to live my life in a state of presence. Carmen taught me simple and quick techniques for managing feelings of anxiety, anger, and insomnia.

After coaching, I regained my zest for life. I, who used to never leave the house, now have started socializing and going out every weekend again.

I highly recommend this technique and Carmen as a coach.

I managed to overcome the state of panic

Three weeks ago, I found out that my father has a heart condition and could die at any moment. The news was a shock to me, and I felt physically unwell when I received it from the doctor early in the morning on an empty stomach. For two days, I stayed in bed, unable to shake off the state of panic and fear. In order to get a few hours of sleep and stop dwelling on the worst-case scenario, I had to take sleeping pills. I was aware that my father needed me to mobilize urgently, to take care of additional investigations, and to admit him to the hospital.

The relief for my physical and mental state came from Carmen and her hypnosis method. I knew the method worked because Carmen had helped me two and one years ago with emotional issues and menstrual cycle problems, respectively. If in those situations, I realized that the method had worked after 1-2 months, this time, after just 2 days from the hypnosis session, I had a very strong cleansing of the stomach and intestines, and after this episode, the panic and fear simply disappeared.

A friend who studied the connection between psychological traumas and illnesses told me that my symptoms were related to the distress related to my father's illness. She asked me what I had done, which therapist had helped me release the trauma from my mind and body in just a few days. I told her about the hypnosis session, and she wanted to learn more about this incredible method of physical and psychological healing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Carmen, for the third miracle "pill" that helped me so I could help my father! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

I took fear by the hand

I thank you immensely for accompanying and supporting me for 2 months in my personal development, which is to become a better person every day. You took me in your arms and opened your heart, allowing me to open up and express myself with confidence. You made me aware of what was buried deep within me.

I found this beautiful message that I love so much:

"I had a dream
The dream of being myself
Fear then embraced me
In its arms and said
If you dare to do that
Your whole life will change!
I took fear by the hand
And replied:
Together we will make it!
One step at a time."

Thank you very much.
