Emotional Release sessions are designed and lead by Somesh Valentino Curti (NIP and EuroPsy Psychologist) and Tessa Nagtegaal (Psychologist and Relaxation Therapist). During these sessions we guide you to become more aware of the sensations and emotions at the core of your issue, to open up to these feelings and to express them in a dynamic and direct way.
The goal is to help you to fully meet your deep emotions and experience a possible release, in order to move from a position of feeling stuck and suffering to a position of freedom and opening.
How does it work?
At the beginning of the session we will have a short conversation in which you can present the emotional, physical or psychological issue you want to work on. Then, we focus in creating a “tailor made” process (about one hour) in which we integrate various body-oriented exercises according to your needs. For example : Bio-energetics, Focusing, Emotional Release Techniques, Relaxation and Breathing Exercises, Guided and Active Meditations, Family Constellations. Our work is to support you in your process of acceptance of your vulnerability and of free expression in a safe environment.
How can I start?
These sessions can be part of the individual or couple therapy that you have with Somesh or Tessa or with another therapist. They can also be a therapeutic process by itself. If your interest is the latter, we require an intake session to help you find out if this kind of sessions are appropriate for you.

I am very thankful for the support I’ve received from Somesh Valentino Curti. The talkative sessions were very insightful. He is understanding, clear and compassionate. It has helped me a lot to come to a much greater acceptance of who I am. This, together with the emotional release sessions has been a big boon for me. The emotional release sessions are a great way to let go of what is stuck in the system. Together with Tessa Nagtegaal he offers such loving support, that’s incredible. Every time again they were there with great ways of helping me. Thank you very much Somesh and Tessa.

Thanks the emotional release sessions, I'm doing very well at the moment. I regularly do the exercises that you've given me and your therapy has helped me a lot. I've also given your information to my company doctor to forward others to you. I am working full time again and have taken up all my tasks again. Thanks a lot!

The location is great. Easy accessible and gives a very homey/safe impression and the duration of the workshop is just right. I have to say that both of the times I attended this workshop, I was quite astonished how late it was when leaving the place. It is a very nice sensation of flowing time! I felt the exercices made-to-measure: a good balance between more confrontational (and therefore more uncomfortable) ones and less confrontational ones. I am really glad I have joined both the workshops and definitely looking forward to the next one!
Alice - 28 - Italy
The location is very nice, warm and I always feel protected. I liked most the exercise we did at the end, where everybody were receiving/giving compliments to the others. At the beginning I was sure would be hard for me to have another strong experience at the third emotional release workshop but I was wrong because I was able to get connected with myself in the same way as the other times. I really like the exercise where we danced in a free way!
Luca - 31 - Italy
I really liked the workshop, it was intimate and inspiring. During the exercise in which we were looking at our partner, projecting on him the person we wanted to confront, I could express my deep emotions, and it was an experience that helped a lot. At the beginning I was so angry, a fury, and I could finally find my own way to express it. After that, everything changed: I felt love, relaxed and open, it was a surprise for me! I felt much more love for others and for the group. Thank you!
Daan - 35 - Netherlands
The location is great. I like the atmosphere and the room is perfect. The duration was also perfect but I'd also like a longer workshop. The best part for me was the main exercise, in which I was sitting in front of someone who represented my father. I was able to release what I was feeling and I felt like he was really sitting there! For me this was a good experience, I was able to let go and release my emotions. It was liberating and inspiring. I loved it because it was a beautiful and active workshop and I also loved the music and the togetherness. The way (Tessa and Somesh) have guided us is great! They are natural and honest. I felt refreshed after the day, I felt more space in my body and I felt more energized, free and present. It was perfect for me and I achieved what I wanted.
Gianni - 30 - Italy
The location is perfect for the workshop, I really liked. I liked the exercise where we were divided in two groups and we experienced different ways to deal emotionally with our life situations (acceptor VS rejector). I found very hard to let some emotions "become voice", but after that I was surprise by the fact that I was able to get rid of a lot of shame around my sadness. Thank you!
Liselotte - 26 - Netherlands
It was a great experience for me, especially realize that everyone carries some emotional burden made feel accepted. I felt a connection that allowed me to share my personal story. The main exercise was a rare opportunity for me to genuinely express any emotions I felt without being bothered by anything outside of myself. In addition to this, I found it great to have the chance- feel safe to- and be encouraged to speak out any issue. It was good to have also extra opportunities at the end for evaluation and expressing issues that came up.
Marcello - 31 - Italy
My overall experience was good. It was very deep and moving. Going outside my confort zone was, indeed, very challenging. I understand that I have much more to release than I think! I liked the moments with talking and sharing both in the group and with one partner. To me was hard to express in a direct way my negative emotions, I am not used to it because I have the tendency to keep them inside instead of release them. However, I can understand how useful it is.
Hanna - 23 - Greece
It was an interesting experience. I felt a nice connection with the team and for the most part of the workshop I felt very 'present'. I thought there was a nice balance of bioenergetics exercises, meditation and emotional exercises, and the dance at the end was very reviving and in my opinion a perfect way to end the workshop. I also think that the therapists did a good job at keeping a balance between showing us that we can express/disclose as much as we want (or don't want) but also 'pushing us' in a positive way to let go of some resistances.
Marianne - 25 - The Netherlands
"I found the sharing excercise in groups of 2/3 a great learning experience. I see the advantage in doing this with a group of strangers learning that they also struggle, although their expressed emotions and heartbreaking stories were quite intense to witness. The shaking and free expression exercise was a bit difficult but I loved punching the boxing bag. I found very difficult to express positive emotions at the end of the workshop"
Michael - 42 - UK
"It was a very intense afternoon and I found sharing experiences and pain with the group very valuable and memorable. I would like to work more with this group and see how we can all progress on solving our emotional traumas and personal issues together. It is always cathartic to know that you are not alone in suffering and that there are many others in similar situations and dealing with similar issues to yourself. This helps bring perspective and a sense of belonging, which is very supportive and beneficial. I hope the others felt the same way. The workshop ended on a very positive and affirming note and I found this very beautiful."
Marco - 39 - Italy
"I had a great experience overall and for many reasons. It was a great and respectful group of people and, it is my impression, everyone felt respected and safe to open up with the group. Condition extremely necessary given the work being performed. The activities was various and a good mix of heavier and lighter ones on which I enjoyed taking part, or felt challenged just right. Also very beneficial was to see how people feel and are dealing with similar issues and emotions."
Abelardo - 27 - Spain
"Shake was very liberating, but also the 1vs1 and the circle where everyone was talking about him/herself, it was my first chance to talk about myself to someone I didn't know. There were no exercises I didn't like. It's been very good. I had a wonderful Sunday, I felt very happy and relieved."
Dusan - 23 - Czech Republic
"The overall experience was good. I was glad to meet so many people who were nervous at first like me but then really opened up to trusting each other and being with each other and it was good to find out about their problems and I saw myself in many of those people , I think we had some similar problems. And then the exercises flowed quite naturally and we were always asked if everything was fine so everyone went along with everything which was good. I would go again for sure. "
Santiago - 42 - Argentina
"It was good to hear and listen (!) all the different stories.
I personally got triggered while a lady was talking in the beginning. I just felt my tears dropping and pain producing sort of pain thru my chest. It was clearly related to my 1st separation. The workshop was worth every minute from 2 to 6pm despite the good weather outside. *:) happy"
