A head that will not switch off
You lie down and the meeting inside carries on without you. Morning finds you already tired, and the day starts with talking yourself into it.
The method of Leonid Talpis
Universal Therapy with Evgenia Arkhipenko, a guide to the first cause
Universal Therapy is the method of the psychologist Leonid Talpis. It gathers gestalt, constellations, provocative therapy, quantum psychology, theta healing, and body and process work into one way of listening. The point of it is simple. Find the first cause of the thing that keeps coming back to you, and release it on the level where it is actually held, whether that is your life this month or the line you were born into. With us it is guided by Evgenia Arkhipenko, on retreats and one to one.

What people arrive with
Four states that usually bring someone here
Emptiness while everything looks fine
The work is there, the house is there, the children are fine. Inside it is flat, and saying so out loud feels ungrateful, because on paper there is nothing to complain about.
The same story on repeat
New people, new city, same plot going round in circles. The same ending, and the same sentence said to you again by someone who has never met the last one.
Heaviness you have filed under character
You have decided you are simply built this way, anxious and sharp and permanently guilty. Underneath that there is usually an old charge that entered you once and stayed.
How it is built
Seven levels the work walks down
One pain lives on several floors at once. The therapist goes down until the floor where the cause is held, and works there rather than on the surface it surfaced through.
Your life today
What hurts right now, in plain words, without a history.
Emotional charges
The thing that flares before you have had time to think about it.
Borrowed beliefs
Sentences that sound in your own voice and were never yours to begin with.
Blocks in the body
Where the energy stops and stands instead of moving.
The inner family
The parts of you that want opposite things and argue over every decision.
Parents and separation
The place where you are still the daughter waiting to be allowed.
The family line
A script older than you, running through the women before you.
The levels of first causes, from today to the family line.
Evgenia about a session
What happens in a session with me
Working with the field
I read more than your words. The field shows me what stands in you and where it came from, so we start at the point that matters.
The assembly point
Out of many versions of you we choose the one where your life holds together best, and the rest of the work goes from there.
What is not yours goes back
A belief or a charge that belongs to someone else is seen on the level where it is held, and handed back to whoever it belongs to.
Humour is a tool here
We laugh in sessions. Laughter loosens the place a serious conversation only pulls tighter, and what was said stays with you.
On a retreat
How this happens over several days
On a retreat the practitioners work with you through breath, sound, the body, and the shared field of the group. Nothing is forced. The morning practice opens what the evening one then takes further, and by the third day the body stops bracing and the work goes faster.
You choose your own depth every time. You can sit a practice out and say nothing about why, and the day still carries you.
What changes
States people describe afterwards
Quieter in the head
The inner commentary drops in volume, and there is room again to hear yourself.
Energy returns
What was going into holding everything together comes back to you as strength for your own life.
You stop carrying what is not yours
The beliefs you inherited get names. Named, they lose the authority they had while they were invisible.
Your own choice becomes visible
In the situation that used to repeat, you see the fork before you reach it, and you get to take the other road.
This is work with attention, breath and state. It diagnoses nothing, cancels no prescription, and stands in for no doctor and no psychotherapist. If what you are living through needs medical help, that is where to go first.
Questions
Three things people ask before they come
Is this psychotherapy?
The method stands between psychology and energy practice. Leonid Talpis is a psychologist, and the therapeutic schools are in its foundation. In a session I work with the field and the family line as much as with words.
Do I have to tell my whole story?
No. A full biography is not needed. I work with what is visible in the field, and you say exactly as much as you want to say.
What if I do not believe in fields and family lines?
Belief is not required. Come with one concrete thing that hurts, and let the work show you the level where it is held.
