My Story

For many years I have been struggling with my high sensitivity, considering it my weakness, trying to turn it off. But I failed… You know how it works: if you switch it off, you not only stop feeling intense pain, but unfortunately that simple joy also loses its colors and the world turns into shades of grey.

That's why I have created this course.

You are feeling deeply.

You are a Highly Sensitive Person (however you choose to deny this, but deep inside you know that the way you experience feelings is much more intense compared to the majority of people around you).

And you know that feeling of deep gratitude when you manage to connect with someone who feels this world with the same intensity as you (it makes me cry when I feel this kind of deep human connection).

That's why general therapy does not reach your depth. You need special instruments and that type of deep connection in order to be heard and to feel understood.

For many years, I have been painting and teaching loose watercolors – that really gives freedom and I enjoyed the therapeutic effect: how it helps you to calm down, to relax, to let go that control and to embrace those tiny accidents, mistakes, and through this also to accept your imperfections.

This has been my way how to accept my own imperfections. Until 2022.

Then I had, out of my control, to pass through some kind of really dramatic events and also had quite a big personal loss. My art practice stopped to help me the way it helped me all those years before. And that was a moment when I discovered art therapy.

The next three years I had really lots of challenging experience. I have been participating in group art therapy, I had my personal art therapy along those years. Meanwhile, through my curious and very active approach, I have been exploring on my own – from books, from videos, and most through my own art practice.

But I have switched my perspective: it was not only just techniques but going deeper into my own challenges, my fears, my frustration, the way how I could perceive myself, my weaknesses, and my vision of my ideal self and how I would like to be perceived by others.

Then it got to one moment when I felt like emotional burnout. It was like the feelings that I have been passing through some kind of black hole. I didn't want to do what I was doing before – teach loose watercolor – because I knew that it was very superficial and I wanted to go deeper, to the depths, to explore. I really wanted to go deeper.

At the beginning of my way, how to start with realizing and finding my own way as an art therapist – I was so overloaded at the end of the master program (1 year of postgraduate degree and then 2 years of master) that I was just so full of all the knowledge, practice, everything, that I didn't want anything. And the most – I couldn't find myself. I didn't have that vision: where I am, for whom I am, and what I would like to do the next.

That was my way.

I wanted to find out, to connect with myself, to start to listen to myself. Because, okay, I have accomplished so many different tasks, my objectives, I have reached them – but I didn't feel that strong connection when you feel that satisfaction with yourself, that there is no need to look outside or to look at the opinion of other people, because you have your own replies coming from deep inside.

At that moment I started to explore. I was looking for something which will help me with this journey towards myself, to get really great connection with myself.

And this program was my personal challenge in that period – it wasn't quite straightforward, but it was something which I was doing for myself, encouraged and motivated by that deep need to find my true self, to get connected, to find that happiness with myself, to love myself the way I am, to accept, to take care of myself.

I wanted to be guided by my intuition.

I wanted to trust myself.

I wanted to have those inner resources. So I won't ask anyone else "what do you think, what is better to do this or that?"

I wanted to feel my own validation and my own acceptance and my own confidence when I wanted to decide about doing this or that next step.
