It focuses on working with the unconscious, that is, with those inner contents, emotions, and patterns that influence your life without you always being aware of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In therapy, we gradually uncover these unconscious patterns, recognize how they arose, and understand how they affect your relationships, emotions, and physical responses. An important part of the psychodynamic approach is also attention to the body, as the body often expresses what the mind cannot yet articulate. Therefore, psychosomatic aspects are also included in the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some other forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy does not seek quick fixes, but focuses on understanding and transforming the deeper roots of problems. This leads to more lasting inner change and greater freedom in experiencing oneself and others.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong><strong>What is Positive Health Coaching?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Positive Health Coaching is a process that encourages individuals to actively participate in improving their health, well-being, and life balance. It is focused on the present and the future - on what you can do for yourself here and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In coaching, we explore your goals, values, and inner resources together, and look for ways to gradually form habits that support your body and mind. There is a special emphasis on chronic and autoimmune conditions, psychosomatic problems, and supporting people who want to better understand the connection between body, emotions, and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong><strong><strong>How do I know whether psychotherapy or coaching is more suitable for me?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>The decision depends on what you need at the moment.<br>&nbsp;If you want to understand yourself in depth, explore patterns, relationships, and emotions that are recurring, or if you are experiencing inner distress, anxiety, loss of meaning, or psychosomatic problems, then it is more suitable. <strong>psychotherapy<\/strong>. It is a process where, over time and through relationships, themes of the unconscious are revealed and internal stability is gradually established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want a clearer focus, concrete goals, and lifestyle changes, such as improving energy, habits, nutrition, or work-life balance, then it is more suitable for you. <strong>Positive Health Coaching<\/strong>. Coaching is a shorter, more structured process focused on finding solutions and taking active steps forward.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong><strong><strong><strong>Is remote therapy or coaching equally effective and suitable for me?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Remote therapy and coaching are just as deep and authentic as in-person sessions. We meet online in a safe and confidential space where you can talk, feel, and explore yourself. The important thing is to have a place where you can calm down and be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The online format is suitable for everyone, regardless of where you live or your schedule. It allows for more freedom, easier accessibility, and a sense of security in an environment where you feel good. It establishes a relationship that is equally genuine and deep, and the process happens completely naturally, even remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's important to feel accepted and supported by this method. For many, the online format even helps them relax and stay in touch with themselves.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>&nbsp;How does the ordering and the start of therapy or coaching work?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>The easiest way to contact me is via the contact form on the website or by email. From there, we can arrange an introductory conversation to get to know each other, discuss your needs and expectations, and determine if our working styles are a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every person is unique, so it's essential to take the time for this initial contact. After the initial meeting, we agree on how the process would proceed. Some clients have a fixed weekly appointment, while others prefer to adjust their appointments based on their commitments. In some cases, we simply agree on the next visit after each meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential that the process is tailored to you and your specific needs, as this flexibility is integral to a safe and trusting relationship.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Why does therapy usually take place once a week?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Therapy takes place once a week because this rhythm has been shown to be the most natural and supportive for the process. One week is enough time to process the content of the session in peace, think about feelings and connect them to everyday life, but at the same time, not too much time passes that you lose contact with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pace keeps the work lively and productive, maintains continuity between meetings, and keeps internal issues open until they are resolved. Weekly meetings help keep the process moving at a pace that supports real change and growth, without being too fast or too slow.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>&nbsp;What does confidentiality mean in therapy?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Everything that happens in the therapeutic space remains confidential and private, and stays between us. Confidentiality is the foundation of every therapeutic relationship, allowing you to feel safe, accepted, and free to express yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only exceptions are rare cases stipulated by law, such as when the life or safety of an individual is in imminent danger. We always discuss this openly and respectfully. The purpose of therapy is to provide a space where you can share what you carry inside without fear.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Is therapy only for when things are difficult?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>No, psychotherapy is not just for moments of distress. People often start it when they want to better understand themselves, deepen relationships, or live a more conscious and fulfilling life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therapy is not just a way to help when something isn't working, but also a space for growth, exploration, and development of inner strength. It's a way to hear yourself better and gradually create a life that suits you better.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What if I don't know exactly what I would like to work on in therapy or coaching?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>You don't need to have clear answers or specific goals before you start. The process itself helps us discover them together gradually. Sometimes just talking about what you're feeling right now brings more clarity than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Can I decide to end therapy or coaching at any time?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Yes, of course. The process is completely yours and happens at your own pace. We always discuss the conclusion or changes so that we can meaningfully wrap up everything that has been discussed.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What if I feel I need additional professional help, such as a psychiatrist or doctor?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>If it becomes apparent during the process that it would be appropriate to include other forms of help, we discuss this openly.
