Balkan Mama Therapy

Dear Balkan Sister,

No More Pushing

It All Down.

It’s Time to Heal.

I See You. I Know You.

You’re the one everyone turns to. The problem solver, the fixer, the one who holds it all together—even when you’re breaking inside. You’ve built a life that looks strong, a version of yourself that others admire.

But when the world quiets down, when there’s no one left to take care of, there’s a silence inside you that feels unbearable. You’ve spent years proving your worth, earning your place, fitting into spaces that were never made for you.

You learned the rules early:
🔸 Don’t need too much.
🔸 Don’t ask for more.
🔸 Stay strong, because softness is a luxury you were never given.

So, you became independent.
Good at reading others, but bad at expressing yourself.
Good at avoiding pain, but bad at receiving love.

You were raised in a world where
love was transactional.

And now? You’re tired.

Tired of relationships that feel one-sided.
Tired of shrinking yourself to be accepted.
Tired of carrying it all alone.

And I know the part of you that’s reading this—heart pounding, feeling something you don’t want to name—is afraid.

Because what if you open this door, and nothing changes?
What if you try to heal, and it doesn’t work?
What if you let yourself hope, and hope disappoints you again?

But… what if it doesn’t?

What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but finally seeing that you were never broken?

Stories of Healing from
Women Just Like You.

Healing can feel uncertain, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. Read the heartfelt experiences of women who have found safety, connection, and transformation through this work—just like you can.

"For the first time, I truly felt the weight of shared experience—the understanding that my pain and another woman’s pain could exist side by side, both valid, both seen. Selma created not just a workshop, but a sanctuary—one where healing, connection, and hope for something greater became possible. She reminds us that we are not alone, that healing is not meant to be done in isolation, and that together, we are weaving something new."

“Selma is an incredible therapist who has not only guided me through my healing journey but has also created a space where I feel truly seen and understood. Meeting her in person at her event in Germany reinforced what I already knew—her warmth, wisdom, and ability to connect make healing feel safe and accessible. I’m grateful to continue this journey with her and an amazing sisterhood of women who uplift and support one another."

Why Choose Balkan Mama Therapy?

You’ve analyzed your past, dissected your patterns, and promised yourself that next time will be different.

And yet—

You still feel stuck in the same cycles.
You still feel like you’re too much and not enough at the same time.
You still carry the weight of being the strong one, even when you don’t want to be.

So why is this different?

Because I see you.

Not in a surface-level, “healing is for everyone” kind of way. But in the way only someone who has lived this can.

I know what it’s like to grow up in a culture where love had conditions.
Where self-sacrifice was expected, but softness felt like a privilege.
Where independence wasn’t a choice—it was survival.
And I know what it’s like to sit across from someone who doesn’t get it.
To be told to “just set boundaries” when your entire identity was built on being needed.

That’s why Balkan Mama Therapy exists.

To help you heal in a way that honors where you come from while guiding you toward where you’re meant to be.
To create a space where you don’t have to choose between belonging and being yourself.
To remind you that you don’t have to do this alone—not anymore.

This is your place to unlearn survival and step into something softer, something freer.

Something that finally feels like home.

This Work is Differnet. Here is Why:

🔸 It’s culturally informed.

This isn’t generic therapy. I don’t just understand trauma—I understand Balkan trauma. The unspoken rules. The generational guilt. The pressure to be everything for everyone while asking for nothing in return.

🔸 It’s science-backed.

Healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about rewiring the way you experience love, rest, and self-worth.
We integrate neuroscience, attachment theory, and somatic healing to help your mind and body finally feel safe.

🔸 It’s built for high-functioning, hyper-aware women.

If you’ve spent your life thinking your way through pain, you won’t heal by simply “feeling your feelings.”
You need a process that speaks to both your mind and nervous system, making healing logical, actionable, and real.

🔸 It’s not about fixing you—it’s about helping you remember who you’ve always been.

You are not broken.
You are not too much.
You are carrying a story that was never yours to hold alone.
And together, we begin to untangle it.

So, Why Choose Balkan Mama Therapy?

Because this isn’t just about healing.

It’s about finally receiving what you were never given.

A place where your needs don’t feel like a burden.
A process that doesn’t ask you to shrink in order to grow.
A community where you don’t have to explain why you are the way you are.

This is the support you’ve always needed.

And it starts here.
