Diana Safta
Private Mentor, Psychotherapist
Besides being a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner (working intensely with this approach) and a Private Mentor, I am an active Psychologist and Psychotherapist, with a master’s degree in clinical psychology.
As a background, I’ve studied different others psychological approaches – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, Couples Therapy, Transgenerational Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and have developed competencies through dozens of different courses, workshops, silent retreats, mindfulness, meditations and books, as I am a “learning addict”.
I’ve started the CI program in Jan 2019, being in the first cohort and then following all the programs that CI had to offer, in order to refine my skills more and more: 3 internships, 1 mentorship, 2 mentoring internships, a clinical supervision course, the ‘’Suicide Prevention’’ course, ‘’Diversity, Equity, Inclusion’’ course, 2 CI Circles, and had done and still doing a lot of personal therapy as ‘’ You are only able to meet others as deeply as you’ve met yourself.’’ I was also grateful to be part of the team which organized an event for the CI community in Europe, in Budapest, in 2022, meeting in person many of the CI participants, coming from more than 22 countries.
Coming from a place of experiencing an immense fear of being evaluated and of not being ‘good enough’, I now consider the Mentoring sessions not only powerful, but also empowering for the mentees. I think all the experience I got in the CI programs is now shared with openness, curiosity, and compassion with each person I get the chance to meet.
The passion I have for the CI approach comes from experiencing it in all the possible ways and seeing it’s amazing healing power!
Looking forward to connecting online via Zoom and possibly in person, in Bucharest, Romania.
