A second cornerstone of systemics is that we do not see you as a client as an isolated person, but as part of larger, interconnected systems. This helps to understand complex problems and concerns in a larger context and to develop new approaches to solutions. "Systems" here stands for all kinds of social relationship systems in which you are active, e.g. your family, your partnership, your job or society in general. Over time, each of these relationship systems develops its own patterns, rules, roles and values, which can sometimes be helpful, but sometimes also problematic. However, since these patterns of thinking, expectation and behavior are deeply rooted in you (and in all of us), it can sometimes make sense to irritate and disturb them first so that new, successful strategies can then develop. I therefore always examine your difficulties and symptoms in their interaction with your relationships, thought and experience patterns.

Basically, empowerment is the process of empowering and strengthening individuals or communities to make their own decisions and act independently. In essence, it is about giving people the necessary skills, resources and self-confidence to achieve their goals and actively participate in social processes. The aim of empowerment is to break down barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential and instead to interact in a self-determined and self-confident manner.

Empowerment therefore strengthens the already solution- and resource-oriented approach of systems and thus helps to increase your self-efficacy and bring about positive changes in your life. Both approaches thus promote your personal responsibility and self-confidence, which can lead to sustainable solutions for your concerns and an improved quality of life.

Let us also use breathwork practices in our systemic consultation so that your body and mind can calm down. The term stands for a variety of breathing techniques that are used specifically to improve physical and mental well-being. Conscious breathing puts the body into a relaxed state that reduces stress and increases concentration. Breathing exercises can help to release emotional blockages, reduce tension and find inner balance. For many people, breathwork is an effective method to strengthen their mindfulness and self-awareness. The benefits range from deeper relaxation and better sleep quality to more energy in everyday life. Breathwork is suitable both for people who want to reduce stress and for those who want to support their mental health in a natural way.

Embodiment describes the concept of embodying all of our thoughts, feelings and experiences. It emphasizes the idea that our understanding of the world and our consciousness are inextricably linked to our physical existence and that the body and its sensory experiences influence and interact with all of our cognitive processes. Basically, it is about the fact that mind and body cannot be viewed separately, but that our physical experience and our physical existence have a significant influence on our thinking, actions and feelings. By including embodiment exercises in our consultation, we also broaden our view to include your physical sensations. Where exactly do you feel the anger inside you? Where is the pain you feel? I invite you to feel into your physical sensations and reactions in order to get to know and understand yourself on a new level.

Mindfulness is a conscious and non-judgmental awareness of the present moment. This practice, which often comes from Buddhist meditation, aims to bring attention to the present moment and observe thoughts, feelings & physical sensations without judgment. Mindfulness can help reduce stress, promote emotional health & improve overall well-being. It is often practiced in the form of meditation, breathing exercises or conscious daily practices to gain a deeper understanding and greater acceptance of one's self and the environment.
Not only is mindfulness an essential part of my consultations, but I also like to give my clients small observation "homework" to do between consultations so that the insights from our conversations can continue to grow and also resonate in everyday life.
