“When Imada enters the room with her clear but light presence, I immediately feel seen, yes, fully perceived. This allows peace and security to spread and makes it possible to open up to even the most unusual and difficult emotions. Imada can deal with it spontaneously with great intellectual and emotional clarity, based on her well-founded psychological studies and personal life experience. My thoughts and feelings are not alien to her. She is able to steer through the most confusing and threatening sensations without me feeling steered. And in this process always opening up new spaces, to make problems understandable and inner freedom perceptible. Working with Imada makes my difficult life situation much more bearable.” (M. Gschwendtner)

“During the process guidance for my scientific research project, imada provided me with benevolent and flexible support for all questions that arose. These ranged from trauma-sensitive interviewing to how to deal with the challenging research topic(sexualized violence). A particularly helpful resource was also the professional knowledge of empathic resonance and co-regulation of the nervous system as well as a systemic understanding of shame in the context of the project. Having such a space to reflect on power relations in participatory contexts and to find concrete strategies for expanding my scope of action and counteracting the reproduction of discriminatory structures was very supportive in my work and helped me to follow my own integrity.” (L. Bilgic)
