The first question that is often asked when entering a circle is: "How did you get to BTE?".
The meeting with Biotransenergetics took place almost twenty years ago, when "destiny" put a client of mine in my path, who was involved in market research and who had been working for a company with which he had been collaborating for some time.
During our telephone conversations, this newly hired psychologist told me about shamanic drums, biotransenergetics, personal growth paths, as well as the needs strictly connected to my profession and hers.
I didn't understand anything. Or rather, my mind was screaming at me that they were follies, my Catholic culture did not even allow me to name the word "shamanism", subtle energies. So I dismissed the meeting as a nice meeting and a nice person, but who certainly had to stay well away from me.
Then I didn't understand, I didn't answer the call. At that time I was so identified with my life, with my patterns, that I didn't listen. Everything this person talked to me about sounded so familiar and yet so distant, dark and scary. By chance, after maybe ten years, they gave me the book by Pier Luigi Lattuada “La Biotransenergetica” and again nothing. I read the first few pages, naturally I did not connect my Client to the book, that is, to the same discipline, and again I walked away. Our Self is patient, fortunately, and around the age of forty I realized the great difficulties I had. I've always been used to analyzing myself, trying to improve myself. The meditations I did in my scouting period and the spiritual retreats had helped me to proceed, to grow. But I also realized that I had become very good at justifying myself, at forgiving myself, at always punishing myself for the same things. At forty I felt in a spiral from which I could not get out. Always turned on myself, but with no way of solution. I took several awareness courses. I met a shaman, I started dance therapy, art therapy and the study of the Chakras. I went to India and my mind was beginning to accept that maybe there could be more to it than what I knew up until then. Then five years ago I came up with the idea of enrolling in a counseling school. The aim was to understand myself, the idea of entering a help context did not belong to me. For me it was "just" starting a path of growth. One evening I met a person in the elevator, at the time we lived in the same building, who told me that she too had this intention. Then the magic: of all the possible schools she told me that the Lattuada school "inspired" her. So I replied. I knew it was time. I knew that was my way. To tell the truth, I didn't know anything, but I trusted it. I answered, said yes and signed up. I reconnected my past and the times that this discipline has presented itself to me and I understood, albeit in total ignorance, that I had to go in that direction. It was my salvation.
