Personal development

Depression is a common, yet serious psychological condition. It is characterized by severe feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that the individual used to enjoy.

Anxiety can take different forms and can be experienced in different situations by different individuals. While some people may feel anxious in social situations, others may worry about the future or experience panic attacks in seemingly random situations. Typical symptoms of anxiety are hyper-arousal (increased heart rate, shortness of breath, sweaty hands and feet, muscle tension), inability to concentrate, irritability and being more fatigued than usual.

After experiencing a traumatic event (an event that is overwhelming an individuals capacity to cope, e.g. accidents, loss of beloved ones, having ones personal and intimate boundaries crossed) some individuals develop post-traumatic stress symptoms. These kinds of symptoms present as re-experiencing of the traumatic event, irritability and outbursts of anger, being easily startled, having trouble concentrating and sleeping.

„The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives“ is what my biggest inspiration Esther Perel states. Thus, nurturing this most important of our goods and healing and repairing when there is conflict or other relationship difficulties is one of the main focus points in all of my therapies.
