PROFESSIONAL PATH

Uveges Anna Szakmai út

I started my practice as a psychologist in 2022 at the Mindset Therapy and Counseling Center, where in addition to accompanying individual self-awareness processes, I worked as a research group leader and helped young people interested in the practice of psychology and self-awareness in Budapest and throughout the country in the framework of personality development groups.

I am currently doing my assistant practice at the Változás Tere Psychological Center, where, in addition to individual consultations, I hold self-awareness groups based on my own method and deal with method development. I try to accompany my clients on the road to mental and physical healing using a modern methodological approach, on the path of self-identity. I am currently training in Wilber's Integral Psychology therapeutic methods at the Integral Academy. Among my long-term goals are the acquisition of trauma treatment methods and the study and practice of dynamically developing neuropsychology.

Below, I have collected the main stages of my professional journey, which is still taking shape, which include my experiences, activities, psychological studies and the methods I have used in psychological practice and research, as well as my current continuing education(s).

On the way to the world of trauma therapies - the Compassionate Inquiry method (May 2024 -

My big dream came true by being able to start training in trauma therapy through the method of Dr. Gábor Máté, a Hungarian-born Canadian doctor, writer and Sat Dharam Kaur ND.

The Compassionate Inquiry method means: Compassionate exploration. It is a body-based psychotherapy method that is optimized for exploring, processing and resolving trauma.

Integral consultant training (Integral Academy - Department of Integral Psychology, INTA)

In the course of the training, through learning the theoretical and practical application of the integral psychology and integral approach created by Ken Wilber, I incorporate the integral approach consulting work into the psychologist's practice.

Certified psychologist (Károli Gáspár Reformed University BTK Institute of Psychology, clinical and health psychology specialization)
2017 – 2022

I obtained my (basic and) master's degree in psychology in the university's undergraduate program and then in the adult clinical specialization. During the specialization, among other things, I got to know first-hand the approach of psychosomatics, which is the focus of my interest, and methods based on altered states of consciousness. Completing the master's degree most suitable for obtaining the health psychology diploma due in the future greatly contributed to increasing my initial enthusiasm and mapping out further education.

SzomatoDrám researcher (Research Scholarship for the Nation's Young Talents)
June 2020 - December 2021

I am responsible for the development of the analysis procedure based on the first scientifically demanding study of the effectiveness of the SzomatoDráma® method and the writing of the thesis on it. In 2020, I won the National Scholarship for Young Talents for the second time, this time in the psychological sciences category. The supporter of the research project, which lasted almost two years, is the Human Resources Support Agency, as a background institution of the Ministry of Human Resources. I did the work under the professional supervision of my Master, Prof. Dr. Emőke Bagdy.

Bodywork is its own experience (Bodywork Association)
September 2021 - (present)

Bodywork's nondual group method, based on movement and body awareness, helps to perceive body sensations and emotions in the present "here and now" more and more clearly through the active practice of conscious presence. To this day, the method helps to increase my (body) awareness and physical self-awareness.

Ultrashort therapy consultant (Ultrashort therapy consultant training based on the Ultrashort Therapy® method developed by psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. László Buda)
September 2019 - December 2020

The intensive consultation method of Ultrarövid Terápia® is based on the application of a five-step model, which helps us to identify the key factors behind the most current blockages and difficulties in our lives in a relatively short time, with deep and effective intervention elements. The consultation based on the method is not considered psychotherapy, however, it offers safe grips and solution options for the initiation of self-healing processes that promote the healing/alleviation of physical diseases and symptoms, as well as supporting and preserving our mental and physical health, and for taking the necessary steps in practice. let's transplant it. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the training placed great emphasis on personal experience and thorough practice.

Personality disorders - Narcissistic Personality Disorder accredited training (Annomental Kft.)
February 2020

During the training, the presentations and case examples of the author of the best-selling book "The Greatest Book About Narcissism", psychiatrist Dr. György Bánki, and other experts in the field gave a deeper insight into the spectrum of narcissism, particularly touching on the personality dynamics characteristic of personality disorder and the different types of narcissistic personality. The theoretical knowledge was deepened by the joint discussion and processing of the cases, which provided useful clues for recognizing the characteristic features found in social relationships, for distinguishing them from other personality disorders, and for the personal and therapeutic application of treatment options.

SomatoDrama Basic Experience (Body to Soul Foundation, SzomatoDráma Center)
March 2019 - August 2019

The Basic Experience provides insight into the methodology of SzomatoDráma at the level of self-experience, which focuses on self-knowledge, self-healing, and experiencing the beneficial effects of the group experience. Body communication, the relationship between physical and mental functioning (the meeting points of biology and biography), the liberating experiences of imaginary meetings with important people in my life gave me the acid and pepper of the training, thereby emphasizing what I think is the main goal of self-knowledge: in a playful and spontaneous way, the to get closer at my own pace to what I did not dare to do until now and to feel my strength and courage in the moment of meeting and confrontation, in the holding power of the group, which I can then more easily call upon in similar situations in real life.

Professional Drawing Trainer (Magic Pencil Drawing School)
2016 – 2020

Fine arts and music have been an integral part of my life since I was a child. For nearly 10 years, I have been working with the right hemisphere drawing method developed by Dr. Betty Edwards. First, I taught drawing courses based on the traditional method as an intern and then as an art trainer. After my activity as a trainer, I developed the form-breaking, body-oriented direction of the Edwards method for almost a year, from which my thesis research work was born. I successfully applied the body-focused methodology at the Institute of Psychology to my fellow university students for experimental purposes and subjected it to a complex but encouraging impact assessment.
