IS LOVE
COMPLICATED ?

Finally, I dared to talk to my wife about my desire to expose myself to others. It was good that Christine pointed out the importance of context and how I do it in relation to unwanted and unintended side effects for my family.

This helps me so much to step into my power and strength. I now know the space I want to take in a relationship, what I need from my partner, and where I can ask for more. It’s empowering to gain clarity and confidence in what I deserve and how I want to show up in love.

When my husband was laid off he started drinking and seeking paid sexual attention. I only found that out later because I had a busy job. By now, we have moved on for some time. My husband and I went through this well together and he is working again. I did still suffer from intense, intrusive images and dreams. Thanks to an intense EMDR session, these images were greatly reduced.

During the coaching program "Year of Love," I learned that I had nothing to be ashamed of being physically addicted to "attraction and repulsion. I used to be bullied, so I was happy with any kind of positive attention. With Christine, I worked on healthy self-esteem and being open to men with the same goal as me: to have a happy, long-term love relationship together.

My heartbreak remained. I didn't understand why the woman, suddenly the fine relationship under construction suddenly stopped. I want to be open to a new relationship again, but it didn't work out well because of this grief. Because I talked to Christine, I suddenly understood. She asked very precisely about the moment of discomfort. This allowed me to resolve the old, hindering grief with 1 intense EMDR session.

My previous experiences with therapy were not positive. My sexual desires were labeled as something to be ashamed of. It was nice that Christine did not shame my desires.

Every day I think of you, Christine, for helping us remember to believe in our relationship. Even though we live far apart due to my love partner's frequent travel.

I am very grateful for Christine's help and encouragement during my inner journey of rediscovery. I felt like I was being guided by someone who had experience with the same thing and could connect with where I was coming from.

My daughter says she's glad I don't do "wrong dates" anymore. Also, I now know, I feel inside, that I am not "crazy. I am polyamorous and I look forward to my own exploration of sexuality, polyamory and tantra.

Finally I dared to talk to my wife about my need to show myself naked to others. Also helpful to become aware of how and in what context I do it, in relation to possible unintended side effects.

It deeply touches me to read that one day I’ll be proud of myself for living my love life in my own unique way. This thought brings life into perspective—reminding me that life is finite. We come and go alone, and in between, it’s up to us to fill our lives with meaning and purpose. A beautiful and moving realization that inspires us to embrace our individuality and live authentically.

Filled with gratitude for so many insights you have brought me, so much I have learned and so many beautiful things you have shared. Right now I'm sticking with one guy and that's good.

My wife wanted me to make a choice in our relationship. I want to break off the relationship after a long time of living apart because I have met a sweet, different woman. Now, finally after living apart for a long time, I have had the courage to say that I want to separate permanently.

My wife and I came to Christine from Studio Panta Rhei during a period full of change and helplessness. During the sessions, we discovered how often we reacted to each other from a place of hurt. I have truly been through a very dark period.
Christine offered space, direction and calm in the chaos. I no longer feel desperate or without hope.
I now know: I am strong and I can be a loving father and partner.
