From Breakdown to Break Through

Gestalt Therapist, Family Constellation Facilitator and Addictions Counsellor Maria Dolenc works with individuals, couples, families and groups. She has studied Family Constellation work with many world leaders and has been conducting workshops and practitioner training on this work both locally and overseas regularly over the last few years.

Life for Maria started near Ljubljana, Slovenia. As the seventh of eight children, born into a 3rd generation farming family she developed a preference for nature rather than school. In her early twenties, she and her husband along with their 2 year old son arrived in Australia, intending to stay for two years. That was thirty five years ago. Two years later they  had their second son.

Speaking no English and having no family support and believing there was no way to return home, her life became smaller and darker until total it became completely  black. Although she did not understand it at the time Maria has become deeply depressed.  This continued for the next fifteen years when she experienced a nervous breakdown. By letting go, surrendering everything the break down became her greatest break through.

From that moment, when she let go her life took a dramatically different direction.

Here is Maria's Story.

If she could do it we all can!
