Life is a journey filled with unique challenges, and we all face painful experiences, whether from our past or in the future. Confronting these psychological wounds can be daunting, but it is through this courageous self-exploration that we regain inner strength and emotional agility.

My own healing journey has helped me reconnect with the inner wisdom of my body, bridging the gap between mind and body. I aim to create a safe and supportive space for you to express yourself freely and explore your concerns without fear of judgment, walking alongside you as your teammate on this transformative path.

As a passionate learner, I’ve trained in various therapy approaches, focusing on developmental trauma and attachment theories. My professional experience has shown that our strengths and challenges are deeply linked to the quality of our relationships—with ourselves and others. To foster meaningful connections, we must first understand and connect with ourselves. Often, despite consuming self-help resources, we still feel distant and cold in our relationships. I emphasize “in-session change” as a corrective experience for clients trapped in a vicious cycle .

To better support my clients, I embarked on a solitary journey abroad to complete professional certifications in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These modalities help my clients achieve their goals in rebuilding their relationships with themselves and others.

Our collaborative approach means we design a therapeutic strategy that respects your personal story and targets your distinct needs. This bespoke pathway not only fosters a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationship but also empowers you to navigate future hurdles with greater resilience and clarity.

Within the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals dealing with a wide range of issues (see Focus Areas below). I am dedicated to personal and professional growth, continuously enhancing my expertise through training. For the past eight years, I’ve volunteered with an NGO, providing counselling services and facilitating activities like camps and workshops, while also supervising and training other volunteers. As a mother, I understand the unique joys and challenges of parenthood.

In the future, I hope to become a amateur bodyworker, specializing in Critical Alignment Therapy (CAT), to help clients address chronic pains and pressure related to spine misalignment.

Inspired by the philosophy of Lori Gottlieb, who said, “The price of loving so deeply is feeling so deeply—but it’s also a gift, the gift of being alive. If we no longer feel, we should grieve our own death,” I believe that the courage to feel and love deeply adds vibrant colours to our life experiences.

I’m here to help you find your inner strength, embrace your imperfections, and navigate the challenges that life throws your way. Together, we can explore your unique path and discover the Agility within you.

治疗师个人陈述：林妗桓

生命是一段充满独特挑战的旅程，每个人都不完美但都独一无二。我们都会在某个时刻面对痛苦的经历，无论是过去的创伤还是未来的磨难。面对这些心理创伤可能令人畏惧且痛苦。然而，正是通过这种勇敢的自我探索，我们才能重新获得内在的力量和情感的灵动性。

在我的治愈旅程中，通过不断的学习和自我探索，我重新连接了身体内部的智慧，弥合了身心之间的分割。现在，我在这里与你建立一个安全和支持性的关系，在这个关系中，你可以自由表达自己，探索你的担忧而不必担心被评判。我将作为你的队友陪伴你走在改革之旅。

作为一个热爱学习的人，我接受了多种疗法的培训，并将我的实践建立在发展性创伤和依恋（关系）理论的基础上。我的职业生涯告诉我，我们的力量和挑战与我们的关系质量密切相关。这包括我们与自己和他人的关系。要与亲人建立有意义的联系，我们必须首先理解和连结自己。即使读了最新的自助书籍或看了有见地的纪录片，我们可能仍然在重要关系中感到隔阂和冷漠。我专注于在治疗过程中为那些不断陷入恶性循环的来访者提供矫正性的当下体验。

为了更好地支持我的来访者，我独自出国完成了情绪聚焦伴侣治疗（EFCT）和眼动脱敏与历程更新疗法（EMDR）的专业认证培训。这些治疗方法的宗旨是为了帮助我的来访者重建自己与他人关系。

在过去的五年中，我有幸与各类人群合作——从青少年到老年人，处理诸如内心冲突、自残、焦虑、抑郁、自我认同、LGBTQ+身份认同、职场创伤、缺乏自信、愤怒、特定事物的恐惧、童年创伤经历/复杂性创伤、悲伤和失落、伴侣关系问题、婚姻问题和家庭冲突等问题。

我致力于个人和专业的成长，积极参与专业培训以提升自己的专业度。目前以及过去的八年里，我一直在非政府组织充当热线义工，提供辅导服务，包括营地、工作坊和培训项目，及督导 （supervise）其他义工。作为一个充满活力的儿子的母亲，我也理解为人父母所带来的独特快乐和挑战。

未来也希望自己可以成为一名业余身体工作者，Critical Alignment Therapy (CAT), 协助来访改善脊椎不正而导致身体各种压迫和慢性疼痛。

我的座右铭是：“爱得如此深的代价是感受如此之深——但这也是一份礼物，一份活着的礼物。如果我们不再有感觉，我们应该为自己的死而悲伤。”作者 Lori Gottlieb《也许你应该和某人谈谈》。我深信，感受和爱的勇气能使我的生活经历充满活力和色彩 。

我在这里帮助你找到内在的力量，接受你的不完美，并驾驭生活抛给你的挑战。我们可以一起探索你独特的道路，发现你内心的情緒韧性。
