Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
In our current patriarchal society, there are very few models for how to be a strong, feminine woman. With a lack of obvious models and archetypes to draw from, women often either take on the masculine hero's journey as their own or feel disempowered and weak. By drawing upon myths and archetypes, we can explore the heroine's journey of feminine power and apply it to the lived realities of life in areas such as motherhood, career, relationships, marriage, boundaries, and purpose.

Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Woman: Fight your urge for perfectionism! Many women suffer from the compulsion to deliver even better results. There is nothing wrong with that in principle, but it often leads to delays and excessive workloads. In order for women to get into leadership positions, they have to leave perfectionism at home and learn to sometimes just be content.
Perceive your inner family
By establishing contact and this communication with our body, we create the prerequisite for a serious change in the way we treat ourselves. We trace our prohibitions in order to be able to give permission where we have been restricted up to now. Let us now look at those parts of ourselves that restrict us: we find them in our inner family.
Strengthen your own personality in the long term
On the basis of a fairy tale ("The Seal Woman"), we work out the gaps and pitfalls of our own personality in a playful way, step by step.
Through various exercises and role plays, the female participants become aware of their own identity.
The goal is to return to the origin, to the natural "wild" nature of the woman.
The further goal is to learn to be independent and to determine one's own life, both in good and difficult times.
We know sentences like: "Be modest; adapt yourself; don't think too much; don't get the idea of getting out of line; be kind and say yes, even if it hurts and if you are almost choking on the word...".
To follow such a loveless value system in our society leads to extreme inner conflict.
"If we give up our true needs to exchange ourselves for the comfort of a golden cage, we will be grafted with the views of the dried-up old perfectionists". (Clarissa Pinkola Estès)
Your benefit
- to be able to distinguish the important from the urgent
- follow one's own nature
- remain authentic
- stay mentally healthy to be able to act effectively
"A woman hungry for her true soul life may appear elegant and well-fed from the outside, but inside she is a wide open throat with pleadingly outstretched arms and claws". (Clarissa Pinkola Estès)

Stephanie Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You’re Carrying Too Much
As women, we often move through life balancing everything — work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the invisible pressure to handle it all with grace. You may be outwardly capable and composed while inside you feel depleted, resentful, or unsure who you are beneath all the roles you play. Maybe you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, striving to meet impossible standards, or feeling guilt no matter what you do. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your sense of joy, rest, or voice — the parts of you that feel most alive.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge beliefs that keep you stuck in guilt or perfectionism
Strengthen your boundaries and rediscover your own needs and values
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm through neuroscience-based tools
Rebuild confidence and self-trust in relationships and decision-making
Experience calm, freedom, and clarity in place of pressure and self-doubt
This work is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel at home in your own life, with space for both ambition and rest, care and boundaries, strength and softness.
I BELIEVE:
You can be nurturing without losing yourself.
You don’t have to earn rest or worthiness — they’re already yours.
Setting boundaries is an act of love, not rejection.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone else; it means coming home to yourself.
Women heal best in spaces that honor their complexity, courage, and truth.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
