Sara Tulli
Her study path was, right from the start, accompanied and fueled by a pure interest in the emotional, cognitive and behavioral sphere of the human being. The cure for Sara begins with listening, not only to what the other says but also how they says it. In the past si mainly occupied with the support and accompaniment of people with Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Down Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Disruptive Behavioral Disorders of Impulse Control and Conduct, supporting them in the development and construction of their identity, potential, autonomy and responsibility, with calmness, creativity and constancy. He currently works as a trainee psychotherapist at the local To3 Health Authority (developmental age), and in private with psychological support courses. The psychotherapeutic orientation chosen by lei , considers the body and the mind as inseparable, for this reason the work is directed both to the body and to the mind. George Steiner argued that human beings develop language in order to lie better, because lying with the body is extremely difficult. The body encompasses and represents our feelings, emotions and thoughts, and often sends very important messages that are underestimated or judged. Even those who work with the body must have the possibility of carving out a space to communicate with it, otherwise what could enrich them would mistakenly become an obstacle. "The smallest and indivisible cell is the individual in his environment": we are supported by the environment only if we also support ourselves.
