Unlock the Unconscious with Shadow Work Solutions
Become an expert in shadow exploration through Dr Toula’s counselling and coaching organisation: Shadow Work Solutions. It offers transformative SIT sessions, workshops and certified Story Image Therapy coaching and counsellor training.
What is Shadow Work Solutions?
Founded by Dr Toula Gordillo, Shadow Work Solutions is a personal and professional development platform.
According to neuroscience, only about 5% of our brain’s activity is conscious. The rest of our thoughts, feelings, memories and behaviours (about 95%) are unconscious. Story Image Therapy (SIT®), delivered by qualified SIT coaches and counsellors, offer ‘conscious solutions’ to:
- Identify hidden unconscious emotional patterns
- Heal past traumas and limiting beliefs (dependent upon the SIT counsellors’ skills & qualifications)
- Enhance self-awareness and resilience
- Use symbolic storytelling and imagery for insight
- Connect to ancestral roots for enhanced knowledge
Above all, SIT coaches and counsellors must do no harm. Training is therefore essential!
