We all have the capacity to make choices and decisions that are not influenced by our past experiences.
But sometimes we unconsciously carry our own unresolved dilemmas from the past into the present.
We then get stuck, for no apparent reason to ourselves or our current environment.
HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN THE PAST MAY BE IMPACTING THE PRESENT?
For example, when we feel overwhelmed and are unable to think of a solution that feels satisfying or emotionally safe to us.
​And when the emotions we experience are both intense and conflicting, leaving us feeling torn.
If this sounds familiar, you may have experienced some form of relational trauma (complex trauma, attachment trauma, developmental trauma, or generational trauma).
WELCOME!
My name is Marina van Walsum- Rossi. I am a trauma recovery practitioner.
My services are designed to support you in regaining access to your own authenticity, autonomy, and agency; so that you can make choices that are no longer conditioned by your past.
Choises that are a better reflection of your feelings, your thoughts and who you are now.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
We will look from a trauma perspective at those situations in which you have a sense of being trapped in reactive patterns beyond your control.
​
We will explore how you still unconsciously rely on the strategies you developed as a child to survive the challenges of your environment.
​
More importantly, we will explore what is currently preventing you from making free choices.
​
I use NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model). This is a powerful, neuroscience-based, body-oriented approach that allows you to process trauma without reliving 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 will begin to experience a greater sense of freedom in your actions and in your self-expression.
AUTONOMY
You will begin to develop a sense of autonomy from your past and from any pressure you may feel from your present environment.
AGENCY
You will become more and more aware of your inner resources and this will increase 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 begin each session by identifying what you would like from our time together and focus only on that.
YOU CHOOSE
The choice is yours in every sense: you decide how many sessions you would like and their frequency.
LIVED EXPERIENCE
Through my own history and experience of trauma, I fully understand your perspective and the complexity of your emotions.

"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"
