Burn Out

I started therapy with Halima following a severe burnout that almost had severe consequences on my life as well as that of my family. I did not realize soon enough that the pressure I was facing at work with performance and results was taking precedence over my own being… over what was my essence.
This overload of stress added to a period where personally and familial many things were being questioned caused a vacuum in me, I no longer knew who I was, unable to make decisions as I had always been able to do.
I no longer recognized myself at all, I saw myself as empty inside, a mere shell living day by day like a robot, but unable to realize that a part of myself was no longer there. By pulling on the rope, it is no longer possible for me to continue… Complete burnout, I fall into depression, I question my entire life. The consequences are dramatic for my health and my mental state. I fall without realizing it.
When I start therapy with Halima, I am far from realizing that it is on my entire existence that I will have to focus.
I first go there reluctantly because I would never have imagined one day going to therapy. Halima’s approach is benevolent, pragmatic and realistic.
Thanks to a lot of dialogue, hypnosis and EMDR sessions, little by little I become aware of who I am, of the traumas that have impacted me all these years without me realizing it. The truth is sometimes hard to accept, I even think about stopping therapy in the middle…
And I decide to continue because I realize that what has most disturbed my life is always putting my well-being and myself in second place. Halima allowed me to realize it and helped me work on my own person, on who I was in reality.
Today I am proud to have gone through with my approach, I take much better care of myself, I listen much more to others too and I much better understand my emotions. Thank you to Halima for her personal guidance.
