We walk through life dragging suitcases filled with the hidden pains of our life. They contain our vulnerabilities, those events that were hard to deal with and that we believe we should "get over". We believe they are our burden to carry and dispose of, plus they are old, they happened so long ago that they should not be bothering us; they are "no big deal".
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered approach to healing symptoms of stress and trauma. SE is the life's work of Dr. Peter Levine, combining his insights from stress physiology, psychology, biology, indigenous healing practices and neuroscience. Somatic Experiencing (SE) as a bottom-up approach to healing, in contrast to top-down approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can be used to identify and change negative thinking patterns and unwanted behaviours. DBT can also be used to treat suicidal and self-destructive behaviors. DBT was originally designed to treat people with suicidal behavior and Borderline Personality Disorder. However, it has been adapted more broadly for issues that impact a person's relationships, wellbeing and work functioning.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a five-hour auditory intervention designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience. Based on Dr. Porges' Polyvagal Theory, by calming the physiological and emotional state, the door is opened for improved communication and more successful therapy.

Sogol is a junior concealer in this center , she is good for a basic therapy service , she is not a friendly person.
I am editing my review ( above paragraph) after a month ; either Sogol or this center added fake reviews after I left my review about her last month . Reviews were added about Sogol and how good she is , right after my review , to increase the total rate. Now I am decreasing my rate from 3 to 1 .

Sogol is s very kind-minded, knowledgeable, and professional counsellor. I had been suffering from severe anxiety and depression for many years. When I met her for the first time I did not know who I am. She was professionally diagnosed roots and main causes of my personal problems. Then she patiently started to solve them out one after another.
I appreciate what she has done for me. Highly recommended.

I'm truly grateful to Mrs Sogol Kafi for taking me in during the worse time of my life. I needed professional help to deal with an extreme stressful situation around me. with a few sessions I was able to go back to normal life as she gave me the necessary tools and professional advice to deal with my stress and mental health. I'm so grateful to you and would highly recommend her service to anyone in need of therapy.
