Out of confinement and fear
towards clarity and strength
Your concerns
Perhaps you're suffering from a traumatic experience that you want to overcome? Would you like to regain a sense of security and sovereignty in your life? Or perhaps you're experiencing anxiety or depression? Would you like to live a life with more freedom of action, a sense of joy, and functioning relationships?
Or are you constantly under stress and would like to just calm down and relax?
Traumatic experiences aren't always obvious. Sometimes we suffer their consequences without being able to remember anything.
In the following sections, I'll list some symptoms and issues that you can resolve with my support—be it specific traumatic experiences or their consequences, manifesting in the body and mind, or simply a vague feeling of discomfort. A single symptom is enough to be able to work with Somatic Experiencing.
I would be happy to support you with your concerns.
Traumatic experiences
Experiences that lead to trauma include not only war and natural disasters, but also sexual assault, traffic accidents, falls, surgeries, illnesses, (domestic) violence, injuries, the loss of a loved one, childhood neglect, medical treatment, and childbirth (for both mother and child). The younger we are, the more quickly an event traumatizes.
Symptoms
On the psychological level: All forms of stress and (unexplained) restlessness, tension, fear, insecurity, aggression, depressive moods, rigidity, strong emotional swings, overwhelming feelings, massive anger, confusion, forgetfulness, disorientation, constant brooding, the inability to feel joy.
On the physical level: hyperactivity, panic attacks, shortness of breath, dizziness, tightness, sleep disturbances, exhaustion, chronic pain (for which there is no medical explanation)
Topics
Possible topics could be: relationship difficulties, difficulties with physical contact, crises, breakdown, fear of failure, difficulty taking the next step, not being able to move forward, stuck in old patterns, needing to have everything under control, feelings of lack and personal inability
Where should we go?
We desire a fulfilling life with good relationships, meaningful work, and a zest for life. The path to this goal can be long, but individual steps are always possible:
- Better regulate stress (and anxiety) and reduce overall stress levels
- gain more clarity and security
- feel better about yourself and others
- have better relationships and be able to accept touch
- set clear boundaries
- Strengthening strength and resources
- develop more confidence in yourself and your own abilities
- deal with feelings that were previously overwhelming
- handle challenging situations better
- break out of old patterns and find new choices
- powerfully tread new paths
- let go and relax
- develop more liveliness
- gain more joy in life
I would be happy to accompany you through these steps.
