Ephrat Shapiro

I am curious about the inner stories that make people who they are. I became more in touch with my inner story after being pushed towards therapy by challenges I faced in my own life. Through therapy, I learned that old beliefs are like knots, and therapy can help you untangle them. The key to understanding my inner story was to pay attention to the wisdom of the body. Our bodies can communicate things that our mind does not know; getting in touch with this knowledge helps us become aware of our emotions. Once we start feeling the whole spectrum of our feelings, everything else becomes more meaningful. We accept more difficult emotions; we come out from the other side; we discover how truly happy we can be. Having grown up in Israel, I am also aware of a multitude of cultural differences that may resonate with you. I am trained in Hakomi, mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy, EFT (Emotionally focused therapy) for couples and Somatic Experiencing (SE).
