FAQ

1. How can I tell if my behavior is an addiction?

Addiction occurs when a behavior or substance use becomes uncontrollable, interferes with daily life, and causes distress. If you feel unable to stop despite the consequences, seeking support is the first step.

2. Since I moved abroad, I feel lonely. Can you help me understand why?

Many expats go through periods of loneliness, homesickness, and stress related to cultural adaptation. Working with a psychologist can help process these changes, manage relational and cultural challenges, reduce anxiety and stress, and build the resources needed to feel more at home in a new environment.

3. Is it normal to feel sad, anxious, or overwhelmed after childbirth?

Yes, many mothers experience mood swings and fatigue in the early days. However, if sadness persists, becomes intense, or interferes with daily life, it may be helpful to seek psychological support. Experiencing these emotions does NOT mean being a bad mother. Reaching out for support is an act of care for both yourself and your child, and can help foster a more peaceful and conscious bond.

4. Is seeking help a sign of weakness?

Absolutely not. Acknowledging that you have a problem and seeking support is an act of strength and self-awareness.

5. How does a therapy session work?

During the first session (in person or online), we get to know each other, explore the reasons that brought you to seek support, and set the goals of the journey together. It is a safe and non-judgmental space. The duration of the process depends on your personal needs and objectives. Some paths may last a few weeks, while others may take several months; what matters is moving at your own pace.

6. Is it necessary to talk about everything right away?

No, you can open up at your own pace. The process is tailored to you and respects your timing. Many people report meaningful benefits, such as greater self-awareness, tools to manage emotions and relationships, and improved overall well-being.
