My Story

YudumKaymak

Hello, I’m Yudum. I believe that our purpose in coming into this life is to seek, create, and sustain the best version of ourselves. Along this journey, I have come to experience deeply that discovery happens through relationships, creation requires personal effort, and sustaining what we create has both social and relational dimensions.

​   

Guided by my lifelong curiosity about communication and research, I shaped both my education and my professional career around these fields. After graduating from the Faculty of Communication, I worked in marketing research, development communication, social impact, and international development. These experiences enabled me to understand communities from different geographies, cultures, histories, and belief systems, explore their needs, and develop meaningful solutions together with them. Of all these experiences, the one that influenced my direction most deeply was taking part in work at Maya Foundation supporting children who had experienced trauma.​

​    

​I have also had a strong intuitive side since childhood. At times, I encountered images that might be described as clairvoyant, impressions of people’s emotional and physical states, and a sense of connection that I could not explain through words alone.

These experiences naturally led me to practices such as Reiki, meditation, and the symbolic language of Zen Tarot cards. As my experiences deepened, so did my desire to place what I was experiencing on firmer ground and give it structure.

   

Through circle facilitation, I developed my practice of active and compassionate listening in both group and one-to-one settings. I explored Nonviolent Communication, inner journey workshops, breathwork, and astrology. Following both the guidance of my spirit and the curiosity of my mind, I completed theoretical and experiential training in Childhood Memory Regression, Emotional Resilience, Life Coaching, and an extensive programme in Systemic Family Constellations and Ancestral Healing.

   

It was important to me to question and deepen all these experiences within an academic framework as well. During my master’s programme in Interpersonal Communication, I strengthened my knowledge of communication and psychology. My thesis, “The Relationship Between the Intergenerational Transmission of Emotion Dysregulation and Interpersonal Communication Styles,” allowed me to examine the biological, psychological, relational, and systemic dimensions of emotions. It also helped me approach many of the themes I had intuitively noticed over the years through the different perspectives offered by scientific literature.

   

This research process enabled me to develop a more integrated path—one in which I could keep my intuitive awareness and analytical thinking in dialogue without treating either as a substitute for the other.

   

Today, all these paths meet in the same place for me. I describe myself as an Interpersonal Communication Specialist and an Integrative & Systemic Well-being Practitioner. In my individual and group work, I bring together my academic background in interpersonal communication, a systemic perspective, circle-based communication, and symbolic and experiential tools. Reiki, meditation, systemic practices, and symbolic cards are some of the tools I draw on—not to create meaning on someone’s behalf or tell them a definitive truth about their experience, but to create a shared language and space from which we can look at that experience from different perspectives.

Rather than following a single predetermined path, I value noticing together what emerges during each meeting and shaping our work accordingly.

   

​My intention is to continue living a life in contact with my own essence and, whenever possible, to accompany those whose paths cross mine as they discover and create their own authentic ways of being.
