Η ομάδα του ReConnect Clinic αποτελείται από Ψυχολόγους - Ψυχοθεραπευτές με κοινό πλαίσιο αξιών και διαφορετικές ειδικεύσεις, ώστε να μπορούν να στηρίξουν το άτομο ουσιαστικά σε διαφορετικές φάσεις και ανάγκες της ζωής του. Προσφέρουν συνεδρίες δια ζώσης στη Νέα Σμύρνη αλλά και διαδικτυακά, ώστε να μπορεί κάποιος να επιλέξει τον τρόπο που του ταιριάζει περισσότερο και να βρει μέσα στην ομάδα τον άνθρωπο με τον οποίο νιώθει ότι μπορεί να χτίσει μια σταθερή, ουσιαστική θεραπευτική σχέση και να κάνει το επόμενο βήμα προς περισσότερη ηρεμία και σύνδεση στη ζωή του.

Παναγιώτα Κατεβαίνη, Ψυχολόγος – Συστημική Οικογενειακή Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια.

Έχει λάβει εκπαίδευση στη EFT (Συγκινησιακά Εστιασμένη Θεραπεία Ζεύγους). Από μικρή την απασχολούσε πώς μπορεί ένας άνθρωπος να ανακουφιστεί όταν πονάει. Αρχικά πίστευε ότι αυτό γίνεται μόνο μέσα από την ιατρική. Σταδιακά όμως είδε ότι πολλές “ασθένειες” δεν αφορούν μόνο το σώμα, αλλά και την ψυχή, τις σχέσεις, την ιστορία του ατόμου. Έτσι επέλεξε την ψυχολογία, γιατί για εκείνη είχε βαθύτερο νόημα να είναι δίπλα σε ανθρώπους που παλεύουν με ψυχολογικές δυσκολίες και αναζητούν έναν πιο ήρεμο, ζωντανό τρόπο να ζουν. Σπούδασε Ψυχολογία στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο και ολοκλήρωσε την πρακτική της άσκηση στο παιδοψυχιατρικό τμήμα του Νοσοκομείου Παίδων «Αγλαΐα Κυριακού». Από τότε βρίσκεται σταθερά σε χώρους ψυχικής υγείας, εκπαίδευσης και ειδικής αγωγής, δουλεύοντας με παιδιά, εφήβους, ενήλικες, γονείς και οικογένειες. Εργάζεται συχνά με δυσκολίες στη σχέση γονέα - παιδιού και στην οικογενειακή επικοινωνία, προβλήματα στη σχέση ζεύγους, επαναλαμβανόμενες συγκρούσεις, απομάκρυνση, άγχος, συναισθηματική υπερφόρτιση, αίσθημα “δεν αντέχω άλλο”, θέματα εφηβείας, ταυτότητας και ορίων μέσα στην οικογένεια.

Στη θεραπεία δεν βλέπει ποτέ το άτομο “μόνο του”, αλλά μέσα στο πλέγμα των σχέσεων που το διαμορφώνουν. Δουλεύει συστημικά, με άτομα, ζευγάρια, οικογένειες και ομάδες. Στις συνεδρίες ζεύγους βασίζεται στη Συγκινησιακά Εστιασμένη Θεραπεία (EFT), που μας βοηθά να δούμε κάτω από τις συγκρούσεις τις βαθύτερες ανάγκες για εγγύτητα και ασφάλεια.

Με τους γονείς εργάζεται πάνω στη γονική ταυτότητα, στα όρια και στον συναισθηματικό αλφαβητισμό – πώς δηλαδή να αναγνωρίζουν, να ονοματίζουν και να υποστηρίζουν τα συναισθήματα των παιδιών τους αλλά και τα δικά τους.

Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργήσει μαζί με το άτομο έναν σταθερό, ασφαλή χώρο όπου μπορεί να μιλήσει ανοιχτά, να πειραματιστεί με νέους τρόπους επικοινωνίας και να επανασυνδεθεί με τον εαυτό του και τους ανθρώπους του.

Μαρία Αγγελική Μυλωνάκη,Ψυχολόγος – Συστημική Σύμβουλος & Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, με MSc στην Κοινωνική Ψυχολογία.

Είναι Ψυχολόγος με μεταπτυχιακή ειδίκευση στην Κοινωνική Ψυχολογία και τετραετή εκπαίδευση στη Συστημική Συμβουλευτική και Ψυχοθεραπεία. Στα εννέα χρόνια της επαγγελματικής της πορείας έχει προσφέρει τις υπηρεσίες της σε διάφορες δομές ψυχικής υγείας, πρόληψης και κοινωνικής φροντίδας – χώρους όπου συνάντησα άτομα που χρειάζονταν κατανόηση, σταθερό πλαίσιο και έναν άνθρωπο να τους συνοδεύσει σε αυτό που περνούσαν.

Την ενδιαφέρει πώς το άγχος, οι σχέσεις, το σώμα και το κοινωνικό πλαίσιο αλληλοεπιδρούν μεταξύ τους και πώς μέσα σε όλη αυτή την πολυπλοκότητα, κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί σταδιακά να ξαναβρεί τα αποθέματά του, ειδικά όταν νιώθει κουρασμένος ή απομακρυσμένος από τον εαυτό του.

Εργάζεται συχνά με βίωμα άγχους και εξάντλησης, όταν κάποιος νιώθει ότι ζει σε συνεχή εγρήγορση, δύσκολες εμπειρίες που μπορεί να αφήνουν ένταση, με ανθρώπους που θέλουν να ξαναβρούν αίσθηση ασφάλειας και λίγο περισσότερο έλεγχο στη ζωή τους, συντροφικές δυσκολίες, όταν η επικοινωνία μπλοκάρει και υπάρχει επιθυμία για περισσότερη σύνδεση και κατανόηση, σχέση με το σώμα και τη φροντίδα του, όταν επηρεάζεται από άγχος, κριτική ή υψηλές απαιτήσεις

Η οπτική της είναι συστημική, βλέπει μέσα στα συστήματα σχέσεων στα οποία ανήκει το άτομο, οικογένεια, σύντροφος, φίλοι, εργασία, κοινότητα. Στις συνεδρίες προσπαθεί να δημιουργεί έναν χώρο όπου το άτομο μπορεί να επιβραδύνει, να ακούσει λίγο πιο καθαρά τι του συμβαίνει.

Μέσα από τη διαδικασία μπορεί κάποιος να ανακαλύψει τα "αποθέματά" του, τις δεξιότητες και τις δυνάμεις του και να τα χρησιμοποιήσει για μικρά, σταθερά βήματα. Με υπευθυνότητα απέναντι στον εαυτό του μπορεί να προχωρήσει σταδιακά στις αλλαγές που θέλει στη ζωή του, ανάλογα με το τι επιδιώκει.

Έχοντας εκπαιδευτεί στη φροντίδα με επίγνωση του τραύματος (Trauma-Informed Care), σε θέματα εξαρτήσεων και διατροφικών διαταραχών, στέκεται δίπλα στον θεραπευόμενο με ευαισθησία, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα τραυματικά βιώματα, την ενσώματη εμπειρία και τις κοινωνικές διαστάσεις της ζωής του.

Φίλιππος Γκέκης, Ψυχολόγος – Ψυχοθεραπευτής και εμπνευστής του ReConnecΤ Clinic.

Από μικρός έμαθε μέσα από δύσκολα βιώματα ότι ο πόνος δεν είναι μόνο βάρος, αλλά μπορεί να γίνει και “δώρο”: να φέρει στην επιφάνεια την ουσία μας, τα ταλέντα μας, την αντοχή μας. Αυτός ο τρόπος να βλέπει τον πόνο διαμόρφωσε και τις αξίες του, προσφορά, αυθεντικότητα, βαθιά σύνδεση, απλότητα, χαρά, αρμονία, συνεχής εξέλιξη.

Ξεκίνησε ως φυσικοθεραπευτής, δουλεύοντας για χρόνια με ανθρώπους “στο κρεβάτι του πόνου”. Σύντομα είδε ότι υπάρχουν και αόρατα τραύματα – συναισθηματικά, σχεσιακά, υπαρξιακά – που συχνά καθορίζουν το πώς βιώνουμε και το σώμα μας. Αυτό τον οδήγησε να αλλάξει καριέρα και να σπουδάσει Ψυχολογία και να εκπαιδευτεί στην ψυχοθεραπεία.

Σήμερα προσφέρει ατομικές και ομαδικές συνεδρίες ψυχοθεραπείας, γεφυρώνοντας σώμα–ψυχή–σχέσεις. Εργάζεται συχνά με ιστορίες τραύματος και επαναλαμβανόμενων δύσκολων εμπειριών, σχέσεις που οδηγούν σε φαύλους κύκλους σύγκρουσης ή αποστασιοποίησης, άτομα με πολλά ενδιαφέροντα ή/και υψηλές απαιτήσεις από τον εαυτό τους, που νιώθουν εξάντληση, σύγχυση ή “κόλλημα”, άγχος, υπερένταση, ψυχοσωματικά και χρόνιο πόνο, θέματα αυτοεκτίμησης, ντροπής, ενοχής.

Πιστεύει ότι η θεραπεία είναι απλή, όχι εύκολη, αλλά απλή όταν ο θεραπευτής μπορεί να συνθέτει τις προσεγγίσεις ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες του κάθε ανθρώπου. Έχοντας εκπαιδευτεί σε διαφορετικές σχολές ψυχοθεραπείας (γνωστική αναλυτική ψυχοθεραπεία, συστημική ψυχοθεραπεία, τραυματοθεραπεία EMDR, θεραπεία εστιασμένη στο συναίσθημα, σωματικά επικεντρωμένη ψυχοθεραπεία gestalt), οργανώνει μαζί με τον θεραπευόμενο το “χάος” της εμπειρίας του σε κάτι πιο κατανοητό και διαχειρίσιμο.

Στόχος του δεν είναι μόνο να μειωθούν τα συμπτώματα, αλλά να μπορέσει κάποιος να σταθεί στη ζωή με περισσότερη ηρεμία, καθαρότητα και νόημα να επανασυνδεθεί με τον εαυτό του, τους ανθρώπους του και την ύπαρξη σου ως σύνολο.

This approach aims at maximizing life satisfaction for individuals facing simple or more complex psychological issues.
