Practitioner for Psychotherapy
Method: Body-oriented psychotherapy
Welcome to my homepage!
I have always been interested in the meaning of the human existence and what leads to a happy and fulfilling life. In body psychotherapy I have not only found convincing answers to my questions, but also very effective "tools" for my work as a therapist.
A couple of years ago, I discovered the impact of being a high sensitive person - for myself as well as my clients. It turns out that my body-orientated therapy is particularly suitable especially for this group of people .
I studied philosophy, politics and music theory in Munich. After graduating, I started professional training as a practitioner for psychotherapy, completing these studies with a 5-year course of vocational training in Biodynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy® (Biodynamics). Other therapeutic training courses followed (e.g. EMDR (trauma therapy), Voice Dialogue, Alexander Technique, Yoga, Meditation...). I have been working as a therapist since 2005. Now, after several years' experience working in a psychosomatic clinic, I have set up a practice in the village of Winhoering in southeastern Bavaria.
Body-oriented Psychotherapy
Especially for Highly Sensitive Persons
Why body-oriented psychotherapy?
In this method mental and physical experiences are seen as equally important. Its approach is humanistic and rooted in depth psychology.
Childhood experiences determine our physical structure and organization to a large extend - difficult and stressful ones in particular affect us throughout our lives. This can initially be expressed in a body tension, a restricted breathing pattern or concentration problems.
If the underlying causes are not addressed, symptoms will intensify. Depending on our predisposition, we tend to react to stress either on a psychological or physical level: depression, burnout, anxiety, pain, heart problems... the list is endless.
I use various techniques to uncover, release and heal these unconscious dynamics. These consist of body awareness exercises, body expression, healing touch, imagination and of course conversation.
Since its foundation more than 100 years ago, body-oriented psychotherapy has steadily gained importance. It opens access to inner healing powers, the possibility of self-development and self-empowerment. Especially in times of overwhelming global problems, the method is a very concrete tool for reconnecting to one's inner compass and to pursuing a coherent, authentic life.

"We must be willing to let go of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

Highly Sensitive Persons
Approximately 15% of the world's beings are equipped with one or more sensory organs that are above average. They are quickly labeled as mimosas. Highly sensitive persons face extraordinary challenges.
Due to their sharpened sensory awareness, they frequently suffer from overstimulation. They therefore have to learn to take their own time to process all incoming stimuli, to understand how to cope with this, and to create an environment that meets their particular needs. Being a minority, it's very helpful to establish a feeling of belonging together and being understood.
At the same time, highly sensitive people are also susceptible to unfavorable relationship dynamics for example with narcissistic personality structures because they have often difficulties to set boundaries. There can also be obstacles choosing a career or structuring everyday life. The problem is to have to many things to choose from and a lack of priorities. All of these topics need space and mindful perception. We have to speak, feel, think, see, research, straighten things out, reflect and express ourselves physically - so that the nervous system has the opportunity to fully process this knowledge and we can develop our high sensitivity.
Body-oriented psychotherapy offers a wide range of methods to experience high sensitivity as a wonderful gift. It can transform you into an extraordinary, powerful and unique person.
Treffen - Vortrag -
Austausch
Ich erlebe viele hochsensible Menschen und werde oft gefragt, wo sich denn all die anderen verstecken. So habe ich beschlossen, ein geschütztes und gleichzeitig ungezwungenes Treffen unter Gleichgesinnten zu organisieren, das der Information und dem Austausch dienen soll.
Wir werden klären, was Hochsensibilität (HSP) ist und was nicht, welche Vor- und Nachteile sich daraus ergeben und wie wir die besondere Fähigkeit am besten nutzen können. Es ist also eine Anleitung, die auch gespeist werden darf aus dem Erfahrungsschatz der Anwesenden. Wenn gewünscht, gibt es unterstützende körperliche Übungen. Willkommen sind alle, die sich als HSP fühlen.
