I’m Stefano Cotugno, born in Livorno in January 1968. Since my childhood, I have found myself living in different environments across Italy, discovering time and again how to adapt and evolve. In my heart, I hold qualities and characteristics from my hometown, such as curiosity, resilience, tolerance, the search for balance, and a healthy sense of humour (both in relation to myself and to power). I graduated in “Community and Organisational Psychology” from the University of Florence and furthered my studies and interests in psychological therapy through a four-year training programme at the Family Systemic Psychotherapy School of the Heteropoiesis Research Centre. Since 1989, I have practised and developed a deep passion for meditation in its various forms: vipassana, satori, and dynamic meditation. I have encountered several teachers and masters, explored Gestalt therapy, bioenergetics, rebirthing breathwork, and the mindful approach to emotions. In 1999, thanks to a life-changing meeting with Bert Hellinger, I found in Family Constellations a method that integrates Western and Eastern perspectives within the therapeutic journey.
