Zeno Regazzoni

Throughout my whole life, I have spent considerable time finding my own place in the world. Over the years, however, I've come to realise that pluralism and diversity are intrinsic aspects of human nature: attempting to adhere to a single worldview may then lead to the alienation and neglect of other parts of ourselves. This insight guided me into my heterogeneous academic path, starting from Philosophy, moving to Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology and eventually Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy.

For the same reason, during my psychotherapy specialisation, I decided to deepen many different approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy and Mindfulness overall, yet Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT) as well.
My journey carried me to psychiatric wards and clinics dedicated to assist migrants and inpatients with Borderline Personality Disorder. There I encountered individuals carrying burdens heavier than I could have ever imagined: their stories of suffering reshaped my understanding of trauma, making me aware about how past sorrows and fears continually resurface in the present, chaining us to our memories and hindering our ability to freely desire and shape our own future. To help unlock these chains, I then pursued the training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, focusing on its applications in treating Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and Structural Dissociation.

In 2023, I bid farewell to my professional practice in Milan and moved to Berlin, pursuing a long-held dream, perhaps driven by my perpetual (at times unbearable!) desire to expand my perspective on the world once more.
