«Thank you very much for this meeting and the opportunity to feel support when you need it! The exercise »I am in the form of a tree« penetrated to the depths of my soul. And the »Landscape of my life« technique helped to find a way out of a disturbing situation, inspired me to take further action and instilled hope for a better future. The exercise »My sensory supports« reminded me that happiness is nearby, you just have to look for it. The presenters of the workshop easily set up frank conversations and helped to get to know yourself better. Thank you for the opportunity to find a resource in this difficult time!», one of the participants shared her feedback.
