Hi, I’m Alex Zah

I’m a Gestalt therapist in training (Gestalt Institute of Scandinavia, year 3 of 4), based in Valencia, Spain.

Here I write about three things I see again and again: loneliness that stays even when you’re around people, old patterns in love and at work that don’t move however well you understand them, and childhood wounds that still show up in adult life.

Short letters in plain words. Something you can notice in your own life this week.

Before this work I spent 12 years building online businesses, so I know the version of you that looks fine from the outside and feels different inside.

This newsletter is for reflection. It is not medical care and not a crisis service. Reading it does not make us therapist and client.

If you’d like to talk

Sessions are online (in person in Valencia on request). The first call is free and takes 30 minutes: alexzah.com/book-a-call

I also made two small apps: NerveWindow (calm your nervous system in under 7 minutes) and Inner Child Self-Care (21 days of gentle reparenting).
