Imagine if there was someone who was able to work with you to get your emotions out of you and then, like loving but cranky relatives, sit them down at a table to work with you to find a solution for you? Sounds crazy, right? But Gisela does just that!!! It was an incredible journey, but in the end, that’s exactly what happened: my “Gritz”, anger and helplessness sat down together to find a solution with me, because one thing I understood thanks to Gisela: ALL my feelings want only the BEST for ME!

[…]

If I had to describe Gisela, I would say:

Gisela …

is affectionate, but firm
creates a pleasant and safe atmosphere
gets the emotions out of you and lets them talk to each other to find the best possible solution for me
does not let go, because she knows that it is good for me.
If I had to describe how I felt during the emotion coaching I would say:

With Gisela…

I felt held
I felt loved
I felt a deep gratitude at the end
I felt safe to turn my inner self to the outside.

1. Why did you seek a coach or what challenge did you face?

After working on my emotional development by myself for years, but especially more intensely during the pandemic, I realised that there were deeper levels that needed looking at, where I couldn’t get to by myself. Especially food, confidence and self-love were still a big issue. I chose to work with Gisela Backe because she made me feel confident in her work and safe to share deep thoughts and realisations.

2. What outcome did you hope for?

Honestly, I was sure something positive would come of my work with Gisela but I didn’t really know what to expect. I hoped to feel better than before, more whole, more fixed. I hoped, to at least find out more about what the underlying cause was for my issues/ symptoms.

3. What results did you achieve for yourself with my help? Is there a long term effect you could describe?

The actual session results were way more amazing than I could have ever imagined! In our very first session, Gisela helped me unravel and abolish 20+ years of disordered eating. Right away, after the call, emotional eating habits were a thing of the past. I remember the moment so clearly, when I realized that whole part of my brain had changed. Two hours with Gisela and my approach to food has changed fundamentally.

For weeks after our session, I waited for the magic to fade, for old patterns to return, for things to “go back to normal”, as they always did. But they didn’t! About 3 weeks after our session, I had one of those really rotten days that would have 100% triggered a massive binge over multiple days before. This time, food just wasn’t an option. I felt a bit lost, as food was my go to comforter for two decades and now, it didn’t even appeal anymore. Food had turned into nourishment, that’s all.

That’s when I knew it was safe to speak openly about my session with Gisela and the results, that I wouldn’t jinx the magic by being to excited about it. I cried a lot at first, happy tears of course.

I had two more sessions with Gisela since for other things. The issues were more subtle and so were the results but I can feel them deep inside me, making me feel more whole at my core.

4. What did you like best about our work together?

Feeling absolutely safe and at ease to just let go and say out loud the first thing that popped into my head during the sessions. Whenever Gisela would ask a question, part of my brain said ”This is silly/ weird/ nonsense”, but I knew, I trusted that Gisela new exactly what she was doing and that her questions had a lot of sense. I ignored my sceptical side and went with intuition. Giving a voice to the answers from deep inside was so eye opening and freeing. There was so much truth and wisdom deep inside that Gisela helped me uncover. All through the session I knew I was absolutely safe!

5. How did you feel during our work together?

Safe, curious, a little doubtful, happy and at peace. Being in the sessions with Gisela felt absolutely right, even when part of me was worried that her magic would not work for me (again). I let go and let Gisela guide me, carry me through the sessions and came out feeling peaceful, happy, warm inside to my core.

6. Would you recommend me to others and if so, who (in general) do you think would benefit most from working with me?

Yes absolutely! It has been 6 months since our first session and not only did my food issues never come back, but all the work I did with Gisela has contributed to a much, much deeper sense of self-love, self-worth and internal safety. I am enough, I am OK and I will be, no matter what!

Over the last 6 months I have been singing Gisela’s praise to everyone who will listen. I have recommended her work to friends and family and really hope they will work with Gisela too and experience her magic!

Gisela’s work is for everyone who is ready to acknowledge their underlying issues, past thoughts and experiences that are tripping them up in life now. It’s for everyone who wants to heal on a deeper level, who wants to FINALLY be done with stupid habits that mess up their lives. It’s for those who are ready to heal, who are ready to love themselves, who are ready to let go of their stories about themselves.

 7. Is there anything else you would like to add?

I will definitely turn to Gisela again, if and when I feel something else needs to be uncovered, decluttered and let go. Gisela helps her clients live better lives and I want the best live possible for myself!

1. Why did you seek a coach or what challenge did you face?

It was by chance that I came across you and your services, but I was struggling with my work. My main challenge was to feel in the flow with my tasks on a daily basis as I was struggling with fear of success/failure.

2. What outcome did you hope for?

To feel more in the flow, to be more at ease with my tasks and not feel so overwhelmed.

3. What results did you achieve for yourself with my help? Is there a long term effect you could describe?

I am now confident in my daily tasks and feel so much more relaxed in working. I am not overthinking or being a perfectionist. I have that feeling of “done is better than perfect”. And yes, it’s been a month now since our 2 sessions and I absolutely feel these changes are here to last!

4. What did you understand about yourself during the session(s)?
What did you learn in and through our session(s)?
What became possible because of it?

I learned how much I was living in fear of doing things the wrong way and how much this was blocking me. You helped me not only to recognize this, but also get rid of these feelings. I am no longer afraid and am working better than ever.

5. How did you feel during our work together?

It’s a mix of emotions as we dive deep into my feelings. You always made me feel safe and calm however which was very nice.

6. What did you like best about working with me?

Your positivity! It might sound simple, but toi had such a positivity and confidence about how you would be able to help. It made me feel confident too!

7. Would you recommend me to others and if so, who (in general) do you think would benefit most from working with me?

Yes! Anyone that feels stuck! If you’re struggling to move past a certain emotion or feeling and it’s making you hold back – this would be for you!

 7. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Thank you so much!
