Cost: 1-hour online session: 180 GEL

Devaraje's body-centered therapeutic approach is effective for those who:

• Those who consistently exhibit "good boy" or "good girl" behaviors, have difficulty maintaining clear boundaries, constantly expect validation from others (pleasers), are overly open, and are often emotionally damaged because of this;

• Those who want more in life or simply a sense of life;

• Anyone who suffers from depression or anxiety;

• Those who are overly dependent on substances, pornography, and/or ritualistic behaviors;

• Those who want to work on their character structure and bioenergy, as well as perform breathing exercises.

Before booking a session, an introductory conversation is scheduled, the purpose of which is to discuss with the therapist whether this type of therapeutic approach would be effective for you personally. The introductory conversation takes place online and no therapy is performed at this time.

Online sessions – Before starting work, an online intake form is filled out - do you have established goals and intentions related to therapy? You should also attach your results from the Character Structure Quiz. In the first session, your needs and goals are discussed and you will be given two exercises - one to be performed daily, and the other weekly. In subsequent sessions, how the exercises are going and what emotional or other transformations you notice in your daily life are discussed. The exercise may be changed - the intensity of the suppressed emotions and inner content that will be revealed during the exercises may be increased or decreased. The change should be tangible, but not too intense.

Daily exercises take about 15-20 minutes to complete, and weekly exercises take about 20-40 minutes. Commitment to them is important. If you are unable to meet this commitment, you should definitely inform your therapist of the reason. Therefore, before booking sessions, honestly assess yourself and see if you are ready for this process.

Exercise is somewhat similar to traditional medicine: it starts with a specific “dose.”

Both the “dose” and the type of exercise are adjusted through observation in subsequent sessions. The process is carried out with your consent.

It is recommended to undergo 5 sessions at two-week intervals. A 10-week work period is enough to get to know yourself more deeply and to understand how to continue to progress without the help of other people. If desired, it is possible to work with a therapist for a longer period of time.

It is also possible to book one session as a trial.

Please note that working with the body is an intensive process and this approach is not a “quick fix.” It is normal for the process to seem overwhelming at times. Devraj is available to answer your questions between sessions, regardless of your time zone.
