Katarzyna's Story

This is the story of a woman who reached a moment when pretending no longer worked — a moment when the pain of staying the same became greater than the fear of change. Her journey shows how asking for help, setting boundaries, and returning to the body can rebuild a sense of safety and inner strength. It’s a powerful reminder that real transformation begins the instant we choose to face ourselves with honesty and courage.

When I Finally Found the Courage to Ask for Help

The decision to start therapy with Regina wasn’t easy. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. I had always feared judgment — as a child I was criticized constantly, so I learned to hide my emotions and weaknesses. It wasn’t until I reached a deep life crisis that I was finally pushed to ask for help. I knew that if I didn’t reach out now, I might not have the strength to get back up.

Therapy itself wasn’t simple either. I had to break through the protective layer of illusion I had built for years, convincing myself that “everything is fine.” Only when I looked at my childhood wounds and unmet needs did I begin to understand why I kept repeating the same patterns.

The Hardest Phase of Change

The hardest part was the feeling of loneliness. When I began to heal, I realized not everyone welcomed my transformation — some friends drifted away, and my family struggled to accept the new boundaries I was setting. For the first time, I saw how much disrespect had existed there, and how often others tried to control or emotionally manipulate me. Setting boundaries triggered anger, because I was no longer someone’s “possession.” It was painful, but necessary.

During that time, I also lost my job — my boss abused his power, and I had to leave to feel safe again. Looking back, it was a form of cleansing, though at the time I felt completely alone. What helped me was finding community — people on a similar path, who understood what happens when you change emotional patterns and learn to set boundaries.

Returning to the Body

I began practicing yoga, which became a huge source of support. My body was full of pain — I felt as if all the toxic emotions and tension stored over a lifetime were being released. Paradoxically, I was physically healthy, yet it felt as if my body was “sick”, clearing itself from old stress and emotional overload. It was a challenging but deeply healing process that finally helped me feel safe — both in myself and with myself.

Why I Believe Working With Regina Changed My Life

For the first time in my life, therapy with Regina made me feel truly safe — something I had never experienced before.

What I value most is that Regina guided me through the most difficult period of my life, teaching me the self-awareness that allowed for a profound shift in my emotional patterns. She is incredibly precise — sessions with her are never random. It’s about focusing on what truly limits you and gradually removing emotional weight until you finally start to feel lighter.
