Khan Selma

Selma är en insiktsfull, medkännande och kompetent terapeut. Jag har provat många typer av terapi genom åren, och jag har utvecklats mer med Selma och IFS-metoden på mindre än ett år än jag har gjort med någon annan terapeut eller terapeutisk metod. Rekommenderas varmt.

I have done a lot of therapy for anxiety and OCD since I was a teenager. I have tried traditional talk therapy, CBT, MCT, mindfulness approaches, and several practitioners focused on IFS, all with the same goal to feel better. It was not until I started working with Selma Kahn that I experienced real results. I have always believed it is possible to work smarter, not harder, to improve my life, and I have only ever achieved that with Selma. I have been working with her for five months so far, and our work is ongoing. After each session I feel lighter, and as the months go by, my life flows with more ease. Selma offers the perfect balance of empathy, making me feel deeply seen and understood, while also being incredibly effective in helping me resolve old wounds and move forward. She has helped me address issues that have plagued me for decades, as well as uncover and release things I did not even realize were holding me back. I recommend her wholeheartedly. I truly believe she has the ability to help many others find the same relief, clarity, and lasting change that I have experienced.

it's been exactly a year since i started weekly IFS sessions with Selma and what a year it's been! before chancing upon Selma's profile via the algorithm gods on instagram, i had worked with FOUR different therapists (all in-person sessions) for four to six sessions each only to feel absolute frustration and a disconnect and resentment because the first three sessions were spent like this: them telling me to tell them my very long and complicated life/family history. at the end of every session, i would feel completely depleted and my anxiety would be through the roof because there was minimal input from the therapist and i would feel like i was beyond receiving help. shortly after seeing the fourth therapist and experiencing the same feeling of continued helplessness, i had written off therapy and was resigned to feeling miserable and unsafe for the rest of my life. after watching almost of Selma's reels on her instagram account over the span of a few days, i decided to give therapy one more go and i'm so grateful that i reached out to her because ever since that first session with Selma, i've been seeing her almost every week since then. i try my best not to do the "everyone SHOULD go for therapy" thing because access to therapy is a privilege not everyone has or can afford but if anyone WERE interested in starting therapy, i would strongly advise that they try IFS and IF they needed a recommendation for an IFS therapist, i would shout SELMA's name from the rooftops. since starting IFS therapy with Selma, it feels like i have grown so much over the past year to the point that my partner (who has always been resistant to therapy for himself because "he didn't have any trauma growing up, not the way i did") has expressed interest in trying IFS therapy too. Selma has been the most warm and compassionate guide and facilitator for me and my parts and we all feel completely safe and held when we're in session with her. i had initially wondered if online sessions would work for me because i had felt such a disconnect with my previous therapists despite being face to face in the same room but it continues to amaze me how attentive and attuned Selma is even through a computer screen. it is a testament to Selma's role as a therapist that i continue to show up every week for sessions. thank you Selma! ps: my parts are holding up placards and they read: Selma is a rockstar! Selma helps us feel safe! Selma is the adult we needed when we were kids!
