I had a session with Lucia on public speaking and performance. That was something I had been struggling with for the most part of my life. I lived in a prison made of this debilitating fear that prevented me from doing the things that I loved most – meeting new people, sharing stories and experiences with them, singing and playing the piano. I had always thought that this was just the way I was and that it would never change.
I had always had dreams about writing a book, talking about it, sharing my experience with a lot of people, singing and making music with people. Because of that fear, I thought that wasn’t available to me.

I felt extremely comfortable with Lucia. She has a wonderful, smooth and relaxing voice and I felt that I was in good, capable hands. She was confident and caring, she made me feel safe and cared for. She was highly intuitive while she guided me through my childhood memories which carried the root cause of my fears. She spoke with such love and warmth, empathy and friendship. She was patient and she knew exactly what questions she should ask me in order to get to the most important negative beliefs that prevented me from reaching my dreams.

I felt so inspired, I felt like my true self was awoken after a hundred of years and I could see myself on the stage, among a lot of people – radiating, smiling, confident and courageous, sharing my stories, talking openly and freely. Singing and playing again!

I felt like a breath of fresh breeze washed over me and the feeling was amazing. I just wanted to jump, go out there and conquer the world!

Lucia made me feel supported and protected. She made a wonderful recording for me at the end of the session which I play every night before I go to sleep and if I have any difficulties or self-doubt throughout the day, this recording and Lucia’s loving words always give me hope and inspire me and motivate me further. I know that I am on a path of doing great, wonderful and amazing things and I will forever be grateful to Lucia to have given me this opportunity, this gift! Thank you Lucia from the bottom of my heart, you are an amazing therapist and you are the fairy godmother of this world! You will make it a better place!

Love,

Weight loss session, emotional eating, in her words: “Food is my love language”

That was amazing! That view to a happy scene(8 years old, on the beach, feeling warm breeze. Grandparents and all family gathered. Other children and me were playing, just being kids , there were no expectations. I felt I was carefree, not having any responsibilities. Felt excited and loved, relaxed and happy). was really really profound! I loved it, because it meant that I can take away from this session a time, when I was happy , without having to meet any expectations. Without having to earn it. I could get that feeling of connection to my family and my mom, without the food involved. That was amazing.

I went to see my family at Xmas, and I hardly ate, I didn’t over eat. The connection would be enough, so I wouldn’t need the food, to feel connected. But when I came back, I started to gain weight again. Now I think, I was missing them, and I was trying to find a connection to them, through the food. That was really profound.

And even the other scene, in the kitchen, where I was baking((11 years , alone in the kitchen, making bread. Feeling “If I do it, I get a praise and attention”). I needed that connection. Because I always wondered, why my way of looking after friends, my girls, was making I mean lots  and lots of food. Even my husband said, “You know, you don’t need to cook the dinner every night”. Because I got that connection from my mom, when I did it. That feeling of significance. And am like “We must have meal!” Because I got that significance, as a mom, as a wife.And now I know, I don’t need to do that, because i’m sure, for my girls , I AM significant. I don’t need to do that for my friends and family all the time. And so now I know, where it came from.

THERAPIST How does it play in your own family now, does your girls became familiar with some of the patterns? With your awareness now, it can likely help them as well..

“Oh, I can already see it with my youngest. When I ask, what do you want for your birthday? What should we do? She goes, can we go to the restaurant? Can we have a meal? So for her as well, she already associated the connection with the food. I now need to find activities, where we can still be connected as a family, but it does not involve the food.

THERAPIST How do you feel, how does it feel for you as a therapist and mom, and what are you implementing to your parenting now, since you also started to study as a therapist? Being through the study, also as a mom, and now as a therapist with clients, we see often the “I learnt what I lived” and I’ve learnt and lived XY because of what my mom/dad learn and lived” and now am a mom, and my children learn, what they lived..I mean, food related and love/connection related highlights..

“I need to make that change myself, so I can make that change for them. Because, even on them birthday, I buy a massive cake, we go out for a meal. Any celebration in our family is always with food.

Now I want them to associate the connection as a family just having us and having a simple laugh , or going to the movie. And the main thing, in general, I remind them, you are absolutely perfect, in any way. And you don’t need to do anything, to earn a love.

“Before my RTT session, I was really struggling with my diet, particularly eating sugary foods. I would also lose around a stone and then gain it all back within months. This cycle went on for years.

During the session with Lucia, I felt very relaxed. Lucia was really great and communication and very intuitive. The scenes we uncovered were without a doubt the cause of my eating issues. Lucia took me to a beautiful happy scene during the session which was so powerful- this allowed me to connect to a time when I felt happy and connected for just being me. I realised I can feel happy and connected without unhealthy foods. “

It’s only been Day one and I’m so amazed by the awareness and self-control over my eating habits. I feel confident that I will achieve my goals.

After listening to my recording, I felt great, it really helps to reinforce my new eating habit.

And now, I’m so amazed, since my session, I no longer associate a cup of coffee with cake. I am also more aware of my emotions and how these maybe driving my eating habits. Before I reach for food- I really do stop and ask myself, am I hungry? Or am I using this food to meet an emotional need such as connection.

Anyone really- she’s a brilliant therapist!
