over | Lydia Castiglione

How nice that you are here, on this website, in this moment.

I am Lydia (°1984), clinical psychologist and mother of a toddler. I am very fascinated by life and the role of humans. Man as an individual, as a parent and as a member of a group. And what it means to be human, if you balance in authenticity, in connection with each other and with nature. If you evolve from surviving and keeping your head above water, to discovering and creating in expression through words, art and dance. Understanding our potential, is accompanied by an understanding of our obstacles such as psychotrauma, intergenerational transfers, stress, inequality, social demands, ... basically everything that makes us feel unsafe and puts pressure on our nervous system. As a result, complaints and maladaptive behaviour, whether clinical or not, can arise. Supported by mind-body (holistic) insights from neuropsychology, our nervous system and conscious parenting ideas such as natural parenting, parenting from the inside & AP (attachment parenting) you can parent more freely and authentically and at the same time help your (inner) child to enjoy every opportunity. Driven by the scientist in me, I am constantly acquiring more knowledge and skills to build in security so that we as a human being can place our gift to the world. Where science stops, philosophy from east to west gives us an extra push to realize our potential. And at the same time, we still don't know very much about this complex world, and I humbly watch as our quest in life is more special than the goal.

All the best,

Lydia Castiglione
