My methods
IFS (Internal Family System), EMDR and MFT
The core of my work is the IFS, the Internal Family System, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. This combines wonderfully with EMDR and meridian tapping techniques.
Depending on the situation, I also offer individual sessions of pure EMDR or MFT.
In addition, I offer you many other tools for regulating your nervous system, which you can learn and then use independently, such as breathing techniques, and much more.
I basically work integratively, meaning I combine different methods in a way that best supports you at any given moment. Not only is every person unique, but every process is as well

IFS - Internal Family System
(according to Dr. Richard Schwartz)
Our psyche consists not only of a consciousness and a subconscious, but of many parts.
And of the Self.
​
-Parts have different tasks and roles, and that's a good thing!
-Many have already heard of the "inner child", but there are many more parts
-some parts protect us, run our everyday lives, some parts are injured
We shouldn't bypass the protective parts, and go directly to the "inner child" part! This can have negative consequences, even if a session might initially provide some relief!
-Trauma does not create parts, but makes them extreme, or burdens them
-As a result, the coexistence of these parts is disturbed, some parts are perhaps even at war with each other, we direct our power against ourselves, within us there is often a real civil war going on
-crucial to IFS: alongside the parts, each of us has a Self, a healthy core that, no matter how much bad we've experienced, remains whole in everyone, truly in every person! Like the sun, which is always there, even during a severe storm, only sometimes obscured by the clouds.
Mindfulness alone isn't enough! Our parts need compassion and appreciation!
EMDR
By stimulating the right and left hemispheres of the brain alternately, stressful memories or feelings are processed.
-through targeted eye movements, the left and right hemispheres of the brain are stimulated alternately (bilateral stimulation)
-This stimulates the processing of stressful memories (traumas), feelings or thoughts
-every night during sleep, the body moves the eyes quickly back and forth during the REM sleep phase (rapid eye movement), and thus processes memories and feelings of the day -this natural process is used in EMDR
-instead of eye movements, you can also use acoustic signals or touch (e.g. tapping the palms of the hands)
-the method works even if you cannot remember everything from the past
-after successful processing, the memory remains, but it no longer triggers the same stress in the nervous system
-the system recognizes that what was experienced is in the past and it is now safe
-like when you close a book you have read and put it on the shelf: you know it is there, you can take it out and read it, but it is not constantly open, as if the stressful event were happening right now
MFT-Meridianklopfen
(nach Dr. Klinghardt)
Meridians are used for psychotherapy by tapping them.
-die Existenz von Meridianen wurde von mehreren Universitäten bewiesen, in der traditionellen Heilkunde sind sie seit Jahrtausenden bekannt
​
-während in der körperlichen Heilkunde Nadeln benutzt werden, werden die Meridiane in der Psychotherapie durch Beklopfen stimuliert, das nennt sich dann auch Meridianakupressur, Meridian Tapping oder Klopftechniken
​
-es haben sich verschiedene Verfahren entwickelt, aber alle gehen zurück auf Calahan und Dr. Klinghardt
​
-durch das Beklopfen werden Endorphine ausgeschüttet und unser Nervensystem wird in der Entspannung gehalten (im Parasympathikus)
​
​-während des Beklopfens wird auf belastende Gefühle, Erinnerungen oder Gedanken fokussiert und diese werden auf Ebene des Nervensystems entstresst
​
-es ist sogar möglich, Traumata zu lösen
​
-durch das Beklopfen wird eine Verbindung zwischen Psyche und Körper geschaffen, Selbstheilungskräfte können aktiviert werden
​
-es können auch positive Wahlsätze oder freimachende Glaubenssätze geklopft werden​​​​​​
