Stress, Exhaustion & Psyche
When the inner load grows too great, it shows up on many levels: as fear, as exhaustion, as depressive heaviness, or in waves of grief. Each of these experiences carries its own language and seeks a way back into balance. The Healing Atelier opens the door: with creativity, individuality, and flexibility, the facets of your challenges are closely examined and brought to light.
Anxiety & Trauma - Support
Fear binds. It holds people in situations that feel like insurmountable walls. The body reacts faster than any thought, the heart races, the breath falters, and the surroundings lose their sense of safety. Those who live this way know the feeling of being trapped, even when no external reason is visible.
Good advice is needed. The good news: there are ways. Some possibilities for regaining control can be found on the info page.
Guter Rat ist gefragt. Die gute Nachricht: es gibt Wege. Einige Möglichkeiten, wie du Kontrolle zurückgewinnen kannst, findest du auf der Infoseite.
Phobias – Fear that becomes to be a Companion
Phobias are among the most common psychological burdens. They appear in moments that seem ordinary to others yet become trials for those affected. Whether it’s looking into the depths, thinking about an upcoming exam, boarding a plane, or meeting an animal—the nervous system switches to alarm immediately. Heartbeat and breath quicken, muscles tense, and the body signals flight even when no real danger exists.
A phobia is more than fear. It links a specific trigger to an overwhelming reaction.
Often, thoughts or images are enough to set it off. For many, this creates a vicious cycle:
avoidance becomes the only strategy, everyday life narrows, and quality of life declines.
How phobias arise
The origins of phobias are multi-layered. Often, formative experiences make the nervous system permanently sensitive. Sometimes a single event is enough; sometimes many small impressions add up. Learned patterns also play a role—children adopt their parents’ fears without consciously understanding them. On an unconscious level, a link forms: “This stimulus means danger.”
As a result, stress hormones are released in the body, the autonomic nervous system shifts into alarm, and the association strengthens each time. Soon the mere expectation is enough, and the fear becomes real.
Common forms of phobias
-
Specific phobias such as fear of spiders, heights, or dentists
-
Social phobia, when encounters with others lead to paralysis and withdrawal becomes the norm
-
Agoraphobia, the fear of open spaces, crowds, or situations where escape seems difficult
-
Fear of flying, which turns travel into an ordeal and often includes symptoms like dizziness, nausea, or palpitations
Every phobia has its own expression, yet all share the same mechanism: the nervous system reacts more strongly than the situation calls for.
Understanding phobias – Regaining freedom
Phobias take away what should feel natural: climbing a staircase, everyday encounters, the pleasure of travel. Behind each phobia lies an inner message. It points to overload, to stored experiences, to protective mechanisms that once made sense and have since become a burden.
When this language is heard, it becomes possible to change it. The rigid link between trigger and alarm can soften into a new connection: trigger and calm. The body remembers its capacity to feel safe, and life opens again.
Invitation
Phobias do not define a personality. They are patterns that can loosen when body and soul are allowed new experiences. With a combination of pain management, talk therapy, and frequency work, I support you in anchoring these new experiences.
I invite you to take the first step toward me and the Healing Atelier. In therapy, we open the space where fear loses its power and trust becomes tangible again.
EMDR
Some memories keep their force. Images surface as if they were the present, and the body responds with the same intensity as back then.
EMDR begins here: with targeted impulses for the nervous system, the held impression is moved, sorted, and newly imprinted.
There are ways for these experiences to lose their sharpness so daily life becomes lighter.
On the info page, you can learn more about how EMDR supports this process.
Burnout & Exhaustion –
Forces that run dry
_edited.jpg)
Exhaustion is far more than simple tiredness. It reaches deeper—to the core of the body where drive and life force dwell. Many people describe how even small tasks feel insurmountable, while concentration and joy fade, leaving only feelings of emptiness and depletion. Far from oneself. The body sends warnings—insomnia, racing heart, pain—yet the path continues until hardly any energy remains. Burnout is the language of a system that has carried too much for too long.
How exhaustion develops
Burnout doesn’t arise overnight. It follows sustained pressure, high expectations, and a lack of recovery. Those who push against their own limits over long periods deplete the body’s reserves. Hormonal and nervous systems fall out of balance; the ability to recover dries up. Unresolved conflicts, emotional strain, and traumatic experiences can act like invisible weights and intensify a state of chronic stress. The body loses its natural rhythm between tension and release. This creates a condition in which even breaks or vacations no longer restore strength.
Forms and expression
Burnout shows up differently for everyone. Some experience strong physical symptoms like headaches, digestive problems, or chronic pain. Others feel emotional emptiness, irritability, or a sense of being inwardly cut off. Still others withdraw from social relationships because each encounter demands too much energy.
Common to all is a system calling for relief. Usual functioning collapses, and the inner voice calls for change.
The message of burnout
Burnout is not a mistake. It is the language of a body that has carried too much for too long. It signals that a shift is needed—that boundaries must be respected and strength rebuilt. In this sense, burnout is not only a crisis but also a threshold where new paths become visible.
When we give these signals room, possibilities for integration and processing emerge.
Invitation
Burnout and exhaustion need not have the final word. They can mark the beginning of a path that leads to clarity, stability, and renewed vitality.
A first step may lead you to my Healing Atelier. There, I invite you to view things in the light of creativity, flexibility, and fluidity—especially those that currently feel cut off, those that seem out of reach right now.
Depression & Psychological Strain – Light that gets darker
Depression wears many faces. For some, it feels like a gray veil settling over the days. Others experience deep inner emptiness, as if the connection to life were interrupted. The body feels heavy, thoughts circle, and the joy in things that once mattered steadily fades. Even the smallest steps in daily life feel like mountains, and every attempt to rally costs a disproportionate amount of strength.
Psychological strain is likewise palpable. Ongoing pressure, unresolved conflict, emotional wounds, or the sense of never meeting expectations shape the inner landscape. The result can be sleep disturbances, lack of drive, inner restlessness, or physical pain that becomes a constant companion. Life loses color while the inner struggle for footing continues.
Origins and expression
Depression often arises from a combination of factors. Physical disposition, stressful life events, chronic stress, and emotional overload interact. Traumatic experiences can inscribe themselves deep in the nervous system and burden everyday life years later. Unresolved grief or constant performing in the outer world also contributes to the depletion of inner reserves.
Symptoms are varied: withdrawal, guilt, hopelessness, irritability, or physical complaints. Common to all forms is a lost access to inner vitality.
The message of depression
Depression is a signal of exhaustion. It makes visible that too much has been carried, locked away, or pushed aside. It calls for a different way of seeing—with patience, understanding, and a new stance toward one’s own life. In this sense, depression can also be a gateway to long-postponed, necessary change.
Invitation
From the perspective that depression and psychological strain are not a standstill without a way forward, they can mark the start of a movement toward clarity and renewed life energy. Perhaps you’ll find a spark of vitality at a workbench in my Healing Atelier. By looking at your challenges in the light of the soul’s unmet needs, we open access to energy that lets hope return and brings color back into your life.
Grief & Loss –
Life changing its shape
Loss touches the heart at its most sensitive places. It takes something that belonged to life: a beloved person, an animal, a relationship, a familiar way of living. What remains is an emptiness that permeates everything. Grief takes many forms—pain in the body, unceasing thoughts, the sense that the world stands still while life continues around you.
Many describe the experience as if the ground had been pulled away.
Sleeplessness, exhaustion, physical complaints, or inner rigidity can be present, as well as waves of feeling that refuse control. Grief has no straight line. It comes and goes, it overwhelms, it falls silent—and within all this, the heart seeks a way to meet what is new.
Origins and expression
Grief is a natural response to loss. It shows the depth of the bond that existed and the strength of a tie that now lives on in a different realm. Yet every person grieves differently. For some, anger is to the fore; for others, guilt; for still others, a paralyzing emptiness. The body can carry grief too—in shortness of breath, tension, exhaustion, or restlessness.
Grief cannot simply be pushed aside. It is a process that needs time, space, and companionship. Only when it is seen does it begin to transform.
The message of grief
It is a mistake to see grief as weakness. It shows that something in life holds meaning. It honors a bond meant to endure. Within it lies more than pain and memory. It nourishes dignity and the possibility of aligning the heart.
When grief is given space, emptiness can soften into gratitude, quiet connectedness, trust, and a wider view of life.
Invitation
Grief and loss are among the deepest experiences a person can have. They can paralyze, and they can also open doors. Each person has a unique way of meeting grief and loss. A workbench may also be a place for you to view things in a wholly different way. I invite you to share your grief and your wounds with me—and to let something entirely new grow from them together.
