Κατόπιν, ο θεραπευόμενος, με την βοήθεια της θεραπείας, αξιοποιεί τις δυνατότητες του για να υλοποιήσει τους στόχους που θέτει για τον εαυτό του φτάνοντας έτσι σε μια ψυχολογική άνθηση.

About the specialist

Η Γεωργία Σαλάκου είναι Ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό χώρο, όπου παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες και εφήβους.

Εκπαιδεύεται στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία στα Σύγχρονα Αμφιαράεια σε συνεργασία με το Πανεπιστήμιο Κρήτης. Παράλληλα, έχει ολοκληρώσει μονοετή εκπαίδευση στο Ψυχικό Τραύμα και την Ψυχική Ανθεκτικότητα, καθώς και επιμορφώσεις στο Mindfulness και στη Σωματική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Η συνεχής επιστημονική κατάρτιση και η κλινική εποπτεία αποτελούν σταθερά στοιχεία της επαγγελματικής της εξέλιξης.

Η επαγγελματική της εμπειρία περιλαμβάνει συνεργασίες με τον ΟΚΑΝΑ και τη Μέριμνα, καθώς και με το Κέντρο Ημέρας «Franco Basaglia» της Εταιρείας Περιφερειακής Ανάπτυξης και Ψυχικής Υγείας (Ε.Π.Α.Ψ.Υ.). Παράλληλα, έχει εργαστεί σε σχολικό πλαίσιο, αποκτώντας εμπειρία στην ψυχολογική υποστήριξη παιδιών και εφήβων. Η εμπειρία της περιλαμβάνει ακόμη τη συμβουλευτική γονέων, την ψυχολογική αξιολόγηση και την υποστήριξη παιδιών με διαφορετικές αναπτυξιακές και συναισθηματικές ανάγκες. Έχει επίσης συνεργαστεί με ψυχαναλυτικό γραφείο, συμμετέχοντας σε κλινική πρακτική και εποπτεία.

Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση βασίζεται στις αρχές της Συνθετικής Ψυχοθεραπείας, η οποία αντλεί στοιχεία από διαφορετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις και επιτρέπει τη διαμόρφωση της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας με βάση τις ανάγκες, την προσωπικότητα και τη μοναδική ιστορία κάθε ανθρώπου. Δίνει ιδιαίτερη σημασία στην κατανόηση όχι μόνο των δυσκολιών που εμφανίζονται στο παρόν, αλλά και των βαθύτερων συναισθηματικών και σχεσιακών μοτίβων που μπορεί να επαναλαμβάνονται στη ζωή του ατόμου. Η διερεύνηση προηγούμενων εμπειριών και σημαντικών σχέσεων μπορεί να συμβάλει στην κατανόηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο σχετιζόμαστε σήμερα με τους άλλους και με τον εαυτό μας.

Κεντρική θέση στη θεραπευτική της δουλειά έχει η σχέση που διαμορφώνεται ανάμεσα στον θεραπευόμενο και τον θεραπευτή. Μέσα σε ένα πλαίσιο ασφάλειας, αποδοχής και εμπιστοσύνης, ο θεραπευόμενος έχει τον χώρο να εκφράσει και να διερευνήσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν, ακόμη και όταν αυτά δεν είναι εύκολο να κατανοηθούν ή να αποτυπωθούν σε λέξεις.

Στόχος της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας είναι η βαθύτερη κατανόηση του εαυτού, των αναγκών και των τρόπων με τους οποίους το άτομο σχετίζεται και αντιμετωπίζει τις εμπειρίες της ζωής του. Μέσα από αυτή τη διαδικασία μπορεί σταδιακά να επεξεργαστεί τις δυσκολίες που το απασχολούν και να αναπτύξει νέους, περισσότερο λειτουργικούς τρόπους κατανόησης και διαχείρισής τους.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
mental health

What it is

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy applied to problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, abuse, relationship and marriage problems, eating disorders and serious mental illness.The therapist emphasizes what is happening in the current life rather than the past and what led to the difficulties.

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

How it could benefit you

Helps the individual to change dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors. Improves your functioning and quality of life by helping to change patterns and behaviours. Teaches you to be your own self-therapist.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them. DBT reinforces the acceptance that all your thoughts are valid, as they are part of your life experiences and who you are. The person acts by doing the best they can for the moment. It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

Approach

DBT focuses on acceptance and change. It helps the person to get to know themselves better, to think about why they do what they do, without judgment. Replacing a negative behavior or habit with ones that can improve the quality of life. Dialectic is the idea that two different things can be true at the same time.
