Psychotherapy – A change or return to the original?

I share the opinion of many colleagues that a therapy is, above all, more about returning to one's own original, natural strength, than a way to change or even become a better person. A therapist is a companion on the way of becoming stronger, (re)discovering and developing clients' capacities.

It is the clients who direct the process. Many times unconsciously, they keep a memory of their authentic personality (as it had been before they were forced to build up a protective fence around themselves in order to deal with life and hide their authentic 'self') and have the wisdom to find a way back to it. I help them access their intuition and use their own capacities to get healed.

Therapy as:

Der Therapieprozess gleicht der Restaurierung einer Freske – das Übermalte wird wieder achtsam herausgearbeitet, das Beschädigte so gut wie möglich repariert, der Originalzustand wiederhergestellt.

Become a gardener in the garden of your own soul. After the parents 'cultivated' the garden more or less carefully in the childhood, now I am taking care of it myself. I have assistance of a therapist, a professional for cultivating gardens of the soul.

A client is an architect, I am a manager of the project which I've been engaged for. The house, however, is not mine and won't be restored according to my design. I am a service provider, who makes his expertise available in order to support the client in building and reconstructing.

Supervision

Supervision of those who work as therapists or in other professions involving direct contact with people; providing the support in reflection and improvement of their professional activities. The focus may be on their own work practice, the background of conflict dynamics or team cooperation improvement.

Personally, I appreciate and use every opportunity to continuously educate myself. Reflecting on and analyzing my own work through supervision and inner vision are important parts of my professional identity. They enrich my daily activities inspiring me constantly with new ideas. To me, they are the best way to keep and renew the passion in the therapeutic work and continue to innovate.

Process

Methods

Which therapeutic techniques and interventions are to be used, generally depends on the client’s therapeutic process. Sometimes (often) the emphasis is on the talk; other times the access to the subconscious is enabled through the body, while there are also cases when a change in behavior or an understanding of the family-dynamics is a priority.

With eating disorders, for example, it is important not only to involve the body, but also to make clear agreements related to eating habits. With certain clients, imaginary or spiritual exercises can create an access to one’s own resources and speed up the healing process.

By using my knowledge I assist the clients in designing their own growth process. However, the decision on which is “the best way” to change, always lies in the client’s hands.


Levels

The harmony of all three levels is what makes us healthy.

Body

Any mental difficulty is reflected on and through the body, thus affecting and disturbing our organic strength. It is through the work on breathing patterns, muscle blocks and expression of emotions that restoration of the unity of the self is encouraged. Involving the body in therapy is especially helpful in treating psychosomatic problems, depression and traumatic experiences.

Psyche/Feelings

In therapy, the acts of perceiving emotions, examining patterns of thinking and questioning action impulses, are performed through body, spoken word and movement. Here, talking has a key role in exploring and recognizing the emotional content. The goal is integration of feelings, thoughts and actions, releasing blocked energy, as well as opening an access to one’s own qualities.

Soul/Essence

In the experience of liveliness combined with personal uniqueness and its diverse riches we find a sense of belonging and security in ourselves and in the world. The work with the spiritual essence (soul) is done through subtle energetic processes which are the basis of physical, mental and spiritual healing.

ISTDP - Intensive Dynamic Short Psychotherapy is based on intensive work with the transference of feelings, projections and defense mechanisms. by H. Davanloo

With the ISTDP approach you can learn how to:

- Recognize your personal skills, strengths and capabilities
- Recognize negative inner beliefs and change them
- Improve conflict resolution skills and
- Optimize your professional skills

In order to achieve better access to your own personal strengths and qualities you will gain practical and reliable tools for a better self-perception, as well as the perception of others. This will help you gain more confidence and a greater sense of self-efficacy so that you may turn to planning and achieving your high, but realistic goals.

By recognizing the projections and their resolution, we become aware of how the past experiences and beliefs affect, sabotage and undermine the life of the client in the present.

Thus opening a way to search for new and most reasonable models of thinking, feeling and behaving.

With slow, mindful steps you can step out from the shadows of the past. You can learn how to use your real strengths, potentials and abilities and live your life as a mature adult.

Exploring the systemic context and interpersonal relationships in a family/group is sometimes of great importance for diagnosis and therapy. Revealing the family structures, issues of delegation and the "roles," can bring much light into understanding of the problem.

"Die integrative Körperpsychotherapie baut auf dem Menschenbild der Humanistischen Psychologie auf und vereint Ansätze aus Körpertherapie, Gestalttherapie, Gesprächstherapie sowie aus der Familien- und systemischen Beratung. Dabei spielt der Einbezug der Körperebene eine zentrale Rolle."

Meine Erfahrung im IBP habe ich unter anderem gesammelt im Lehrgang IBP Paarberatung, den ich über viele Jahre zusammen mit meinem Kollegen Roman Decurtins geleitet habe, aber auch als Co-Therapeutin und als Klienten.

Ein Trauma geschieht immer im Körper und hinterlässt Spuren im körperlichen und seelischen Erleben. Körperorientierte Traumatherapie arbeitet mit und über den Körper, um die Traumafolgen und die eventuellen traumabedingten Überreaktionen aufzulösen und die blockierte Lebensenergie wieder frei zu setzen. Die Aufarbeitung belastender Erlebnisse geschieht unter der achtsamen Verwendung verschiedener kognitiver, imaginativer sowie somatischer Techniken. In der Verbindung mit den Fähigkeiten und Ressourcen des Klienten wird der sichere Rahmen gewährleistet sowie dem kognitiven Einordnen der Traumata ausreichend Raum gegeben. Im weiteren Verlauf der Therapie wird der Kontakt mit den traumatischen Ereignissen unter dem Einbezug des Körpers behutsam und in kleinen Schritten aufgenommen, immer darauf achtend, dass das Erlebte gut integriert werden kann und die Abwehr/Angst ausreichend respektiert werden. Dies fördert die Selbstbestimmung des Klienten und lässt sein / ihr Vertrauen der Selbstbehauptung der eigenen Grenzen wachsen.
