Identifying Patterns & Initiating Change
Identifying Patterns
My initial focus is to guide you in developing a deeper sense of observation. Together, we work to identify and understand the patterns formed by past experiences and examine the resulting behaviors. We sort these patterns together and look at how they affect your behavior today.
Questioning Perceived Realities
Often, our “perceived reality” matches what we experienced in the past but is no longer suitable for our present life and experiences. I support you in feeling and understanding that many of the reactions that are now internalized are no longer necessary. Although they once had meaning, they often hinder us today.
Creating New Experiences and Enabling Development
Once you recognize these patterns, you can create new experiences and initiate positive development step by step. This process opens the path to a more authentic life and more sustainable relationships.
Building Sustainable Relationships
To build sustainable relationships—whether in partnership, family, or professional life—two important prerequisites must be met:
Self-Responsibility and Awareness
Everyone involved must become aware of their own desires, needs, and boundaries and take responsibility for their behavior. This self-reflection is the first step toward a stable and healthy relationship.
Creating Space for Shared Development
It requires a willingness to create space for shared development and to engage with each other. Relationships are dynamic and develop in dependence on one another. Actively shaping this process requires time, patience, and mutual trust. Throughout this journey, I will support you with understanding and guidance.
Balancing Autonomy and Dependence
A sustainable relationship always consists of a balance between autonomy and dependence. Just like a bird that relies on its environment—air, light, wind, and currents—to fly freely, we humans are also part of a network of relationships that shape and support us.
We are social beings from birth. Just as an infant needs the reflection of another person to perceive themselves, we adults also sometimes need this feedback. Therapy can offer this reflection, allowing growth and change to happen.
