Each of us has the capacity to make choices, free from the past and free from pressure coming from our own environment.
When we feel stuck in the present we often are uncounsciously dealing with unresolved dilemmas from our past.
In my counselling we use these personal impasses as a starting point for recovery from trauma.
​
You are welcome if you have experienced some form of relational trauma (complex trauma, attachment trauma, developmental trauma, intergenerational trauma); if you want more clarity about the role of your past in the current impasse; if you want to increase your autonomy in the present and make choices that better reflect who you are.
WELCOME!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Making the right choices can be difficult when we feel overwhelmed by a situation.
When every solution we come up with evokes intense and conflicting emotions within us, we can become stuck.
​
My name is Marina van Walsum - Rossi. I approach personal impasses with these characteristics from a trauma perspective: your reactions are completely understandable to me. But if you wish, I will help you develop behavior that is free of outdated survival strategies and more in line with who you are now.
​
I use NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model), a neuroscience-based, body-centered powerful methodology that does not require you to relive trauma in order to process it.
IN AN ORGANIC WAY
CLARITY
What usually happens during a NARM conversation is that you organically gain more clarity about the connection between past and present (including awareness of the impact of small, somewhat "forgotten" traumas).
SENSE OF FREEDOM
As you regain your authenticity, you begin to experience greater freedom in your actions and self-expression.
AUTONOMY
You develop a sense of autonomy in relation to the past and the current environment.
AGENCY
You become aware of your inner resources while increasing your sense of agency.
IN MY COUNSELLING
ORIENTATION ON THE PRESENT
We don't dig for traumas. You don't have to relive your traumatic experiences in order to process them.
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW OR ACHIEVE
We start each session by discussing what you would like to achieve and focus only on that.
YOU CHOOSE
The choice is yours in every way: you decide the number of sessions you need and their frequency.
LIVED EXPERIENCE
Because of my own history and experience with trauma I have a full understanding of your perspective and the complexity of your emotions.
ONE-OFF OR ONGOING
You are welcome for a one-off 60 minutes session or for ongoing sessions. You decide the frequency that suits you.
NO LONG WAITING LIST
Short-term support for what you want to know or achieve.
FLEXIBILITY
Sessions by appointment, including evenings.

"Trauma in a person, decontextualized over time, looks like personality.
Trauma in a family, decontextualized over time, looks like family traits.
Trauma in a people, decontextualized over time, looks like culture"
