Zen Counseling: An Effective Path to Deal with Anxiety, Stress and Attachments

What is Counseling?
Professional counseling is an activity whose objective is to improve the client's quality of life, supporting his strengths and his abilities for self-determination.

Counseling offers a space for listening and reflection, in which to explore difficulties relating to evolutionary processes, transition phases and states of crisis and strengthen the ability to choose or change.

Anxiety, stress and various attachments are conditions of suffering that afflict many people in modern society, manifesting themselves with constant worries, tension and difficulty in finding serenity. Humanistic existential counseling with a Zen approach offers an effective and profound method to face and overcome these states of mind.

The Koren Method for Fighting Anxiety and Stress

The counseling proposed by Koren, a Zen nun, integrates the ancient wisdom of Zen with modern psychological support techniques, creating a therapeutic environment that promotes awareness and inner peace. This unique approach allows you to:

• Recognizing the Deep Roots of Anxiety and Stress
• Developing practical tools to manage moments of crisis
• Transforming Anxiety and Worry into an Opportunity for Personal Growth

According to the Zen vision, suffering often arises from the separation we perceive between ourselves and the world, and from the tendency to live in the future or the past, losing contact with the present moment. Through meditation and mindfulness techniques, you will learn to ground yourself in the now, significantly reducing the symptoms of anxiety and stress.
