Which therapy method is this? (Homework)

Hi! I need to recall my childhood and reflect on how I functioned back then and how I function now.

How is this therapy called? I know that it's very very deep. (Something that Reopening wounds from a depth psychological perspective).

My therapist often speaks in images, and I feel that she doesn’t speak to my mind but deeply to my soul. Sometimes it takes 3 to 6 months for her stories or motifs to fully sink in, but I experience them as deeply healing and profound.

When I come with a problem or difficulty, and she wants to offer a new perspective or guidance, but sees that I’m very stuck in it, just going in circles and unable to work through it rationally then:

For example, when we’re deeply immersed in the roots of childhood through depth psychology, and I’m recalling a moment from my past, sitting in my classroom while the teacher yelled at me and I had to sit still and endure it, at moments like these, after that she sometimes takes on a more active role. It’s as if she takes my hand in thought and leads me back:

After that she told me about a dog experiment. There were two lanes: one was dark, and in the other, the dog could see the obstacles ahead, while scary sounds were played in the background. The dog in the light managed to jump over the obstacles and succeeded. But when they moved the dog from the dark lane, where it had only heard frightening sounds and couldn’t see, into the light, it still didn’t dare to move. Even in the light, it was too afraid to take a step.

When she told me that story, I felt such warmth and happiness in my soul that I cried. My soul completely understood how it related to me. And she always uses images like this, which I find incredibly deep and healing, because they always connect to my own story and offer a new perspective.

1: Try to recall events that happened around the age of 3/4 to 6 years old… when did you feel that focusing on something brought you relief — in other words, stress relief?

2: How do we relate to responsibility?

• Do we take it on easily, or rather try to back out of it?
• What kind of patterns did we receive regarding this as children, and what kind of examples do we have in front of us now?
• In which areas of our life does taking responsibility cause problems, and where does it come more easily?
• Do we feel excessive frustration, self-blame, or guilt in connection with responsibility?
• Do we have difficulties practicing active control over our own lives?

3: What does it mean to be right or to want to be right? Why is it important?

• Do you think others know better who you are and what would be good for you? …I’m thinking here of your functioning patterns.

4: Active well-being – why is it worth loving, giving, living If you have time, I would recommend reading Kornis Mihály’s book Vigasztalások (Consolations).

5: We are human – mistakes and bad decisions are part of us

• What does it mean to you to be vulnerable?
• What does this statement mean to you: we must learn to love the flawed and imperfect things we create, and forgive ourselves for creating them?

6: A question to reflect on: Did you do something “wrong” just because you think or feel differently about something than what others expect from you? Maybe you didn’t prioritize the other person’s perspective, but your own?

7: Why do you need attention?

And there are times when we take on roles, like in psychodrama. When she sees that I can't understand the other person's behavior rationally, she steps into an active role, either she or I plays the part of the other person, and then, within a few days, I slowly begin to understand. Sometimes, for example, I walk from the door to the chair and act out how they treated me, or the other way around, and this way I understand it more easily and gain a much deeper insight. So there were times when I cried while standing or shouted at her to really feel it — but we had agreed beforehand that I would play the role of an abuser, and in those moments, and we focused on what emotions were unfolding inside me.

The therapist also asked me that if I'm dreaming, I should try to recall them, write them down, and note what feelings I experienced during them. Later in therapy, we’ll return to these dreams, and I’ll also receive questions related to childhood in connection with them.

What is this therapeutic approach called? I know that she's doing art therapy, depth psychology, EFT, neuropsychology, body therapy (somatic work)
