Trauma is not what happens to you; it's what happens inside you as a reaction of what happens to you. / Gabor Maté
Healing trauma on all levels
Trauma healing is relationship healing on all levels: In the relationship to yourself and your body, to your loved ones, to your fellows, to your profession and to life as a whole.
In the process of trauma healing, your early emotional wounds can gradually heal through the experience of real and safe contact. You will learn to regulate yourself and to recognise and communicate your needs. As a result, you will inhabit your body with more and more joy and feel more alive.
Your energy blockages in the body will also gradually begin to flow again. You will experience yourself in your original essence again and your life energy will be allowed to unfold more and more.
Not only will you move through life more easily and joyfully. You will also begin to meet yourself and your challenges with more and more curiosity, kindness and acceptance - genuine self-love will emerge.
About me
Ten years ago, my life path led me to examine my own early traumas and imprints. This has given rise to a growing sense of compassion for myself and others, an awareness of our survival strategies, and a keen interest in how we as human beings can become whole and healed again.
For me, this process of becoming whole is primarily an integration of our earliest traumas and their effects on the levels of body, mind, emotions, and energy field. All we need is conscious awareness of our bodies, a safe contact with another person, and, if we want, Reiki. What sounds so simple is actually a delicate undertaking, because deep down we perceive our bodies and other people as a threat. And yet, the path to trauma healing doesn't bypass them, but rather leads right through them—through the junk, to the miracle.
I will accompany you on this path with compassion and awareness, knowing how difficult it can be. At the same time, I will continually challenge you to new experiences and growth – at your own pace and in a safe space.
Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts.
BESSEL VAN DER KOLK
What is trauma?
Trauma is not an event, but what happens in our bodies in response to shocking and overwhelming experiences. Trauma can occur when...
… the choice is taken away from us.
… the stressors outweigh our available resources.
… too much has happened for too long.
… there is too little for too long.
An accident can therefore trigger trauma (shock trauma) just as much as an anxious mother (attachment trauma) or parents who impose their own dreams and desires on their children (developmental trauma). Overwhelming feelings and memories are split off and no longer conscious.
In traumatherapy, I primarily work with a focus on attachment and developmental trauma. Almost every shock trauma is originally rooted in a developmental trauma, so by integrating our early emotional wounds, shock trauma work can become unnecessary.
What is
energy work?
Energy work is a holistic approach that focuses on the subtle energies of body, mind and soul. Everything in the universe is energy - including ourselves. When our life force flows freely, we feel strengthened, balanced and connected. If this flow is blocked, inner restlessness, exhaustion or other emotional and physical discomforts can arise. Energy stagnations usually have their origins in early childhood traumas, because every feeling that was once necessarily suppressed not only leaves a tension in our body, but also in our energy field.
With Reiki, a Japanese method of energy work, I help you to gently release these energy stagnations and bring your life force back into balance and radiance. In this way, the underlying emotions can gently reappear, be felt and integrated.But for me, Reiki is much more than a technique - it is a loving invitation to perceive and accept ourselves in our depths.
Reiki knows no age limits or contraindications. It is a healing support that meets you exactly where you are at the moment. It does not replace a visit to the doctor, but is a powerful addition to your path to greater well-being and personal and spiritual growth.
When can trauma or energywork help?
Trauma or energy work can give you a new perspective on all kinds of symptoms and issues .
However, my areas of expertise are the following:
Attachment and emotions:
Attachment and relationship problems, low self-esteem, self-hatred, anger & rage, shame & guilt, emotional numbness, etc.
Fear:
Nervousness, insecurity, anxiety disorders, social phobia, dissatisfaction, etc.
Physical problems:
Chronic tension, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, frequent infections, asthma, etc.
Exhaustion:
Constant fatigue, sleep disorders, burnout, depression, etc.
Traumas:
Developmental trauma, attachment trauma, emotional neglect, transgenerational trauma
Paths to
trauma healing
The symptoms mentioned above are often caused by a chronically dysregulated and activated nervous system. This, in turn, usually stems from unconscious memories and suppressed feelings from our earliest childhood, to which we have no conscious access. In trauma work, we begin to find a language for these unconscious memories, making them conscious, and feeling the associated emotions in a safe relational context without becoming overwhelmed. Our body helps us with this, because everything is stored within it. It shows us the way.
From an energetic perspective, trauma manifests itself in the body as stagnant energy, because every suppressed need or feeling leaves us with tension. Trauma-sensitive touch can help get the energy flowing again and bring more vitality to the body-mind-psyche system. As the energy blockage is gradually released, the emotions originally contained within it also surface. Thus, touch in trauma therapy can both support and initiate the healing process.
