feeling-seen - by Michael Bachg

Interactions

The quality of the interactions between the parents and their child is our central focus.

These interactions may be improved with the help of feeling-seen by including all the senses, which means on a physical level also, e.g. by appropriate touching or the physical contact the child desires

Successful points of contact such as these, where parents can experience how it feels to satisfy an essential need for their child, which however they had not known before, are an exhilarating experience for themselves also, not just for their child, which the parents and the child can take home with them after the therapy session. It may influence strongly their relationship as well as their interactions with one another.

Understanding children and adolescents at the right time is the basic concern of feeling-seen. It enables us to recognize negative relational patterns and living circumstances and to deliberately influence them.

Thus, undesirable developments may be corrected at an early stage, before acquired dysfunctional patterns can manifest themselves as psychological disorders in adulthood.
