Journey to becoming a therapist
Triin found her way to the profession of a therapist through personal experience. She began her journey by practicing various massage techniques. Triin noticed that during massages, many other tensions and worries surfaced in clients, especially when they relaxed and trust was established. Being a good and balanced listener all her life, Triin wanted to develop this skill further and offer a more holistic service to clients. “My goal was to create a safe place where clients could relieve both physical and emotional tensions. I decided to study hypnotherapy and life coaching because, like massage, hypnotherapy requires deep relaxation,” she explains.
Triin highlights that the most captivating aspect of being a therapist is the moment when a person realizes that they can do whatever they want with their life. They do not have to be who their parents raised them to be, nor do they have to meet anyone’s expectations but their own. “This is the moment when a person understands that they are perfectly imperfect, and it is incredibly powerful. Of course, this moment can be bittersweet, as many have spent decades fighting against self-imposed or externally created illusions.”
How to understand what kind of therapy a person needs
Firstly, Triin emphasizes that it is important to recognize your own needs and goals. Different therapeutic methods suit different people, objectives, and issues. Secondly, she recommends trusting your intuition. “Although there are many good therapists, each person is different, and the therapist who suits your friend may not be the right choice for you,” she says, adding that it is also worth considering that therapy is a process, and what may suit you now may not be ideal for you later. It is entirely acceptable to change your therapy method or therapist according to your development and needs.
How does Chi Nei Tsang abdominal therapy help us in everyday life?
Triin explains that Chi Nei Tsang originates from China and is an abdominal therapy focusing on releasing emotional blockages in the abdominal area. Taoist monks believe that each organ holds different emotions. This method helps balance energy, improve digestion, and release stress and emotional tensions, supporting overall well-being. “Chi Nei Tsang combines guided breathing and massage based on the theory of the five elements, helping release negative emotions stored in the organs. What fascinates me about Chi Nei Tsang is that it creates a strong bond and cooperation between the client and the therapist,” she explains.
