MY VISION

Transformation Instead of Change

The French say, "Le plus ça change, le plus ça reste le même." – "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

When we are suffering from disorders or difficult circumstances, we would like more than anything to change these things. To this end, we expend our entire power. Thus, we often strengthen the unwanted condition. Perhaps you have at one time also experienced how difficult it is to change yourself or another.

Supposed Breakdowns Often Have A Purpose
We, as people, are complete exactly as we are. This is my stance. When we first stop depreciating our apparent or actual breakdowns, we can then arrive at the source of our symptoms. Often, only then, can the purpose reveal itself, for example seeing it as a coping strategy that we had at one time developed in a hopeless situation. Here we can once again find our power. One such transition of one's personal point of view or one such transformation also enables a new, modified way of acting.

The Intention: Authenticity
The caterpillar, which turns itself into a butterfly, is a beautiful image for psychotherapy. The caterpillar pupates during which time its molecules alter. These molecules then transform themselves through metamorphosis and become another creature. The new possibilities of it´s movement show the occurring world newly.
People, too, come into their being in one experience, often circling around the same problems or symptoms for years. Looking only from this experience, like the caterpillar's initial stage, there may be no solution. However, in perhaps looking from the perspective of a butterfly, there is.
In a therapeutic situation of acceptance and safety, I am allowed to be a part of this transformational process. Where you have the courage to show yourself, you can see yourself newly in terms of perceiving and accepting. You can discover new possibilities for yourself in thinking, feeling, acting and in expressing in more authentic ways.
