Fulfilling Relationships:
Characterized by genuine closeness and emotional freedom simultaneously. With the ability to bond and trust, we can feel accepted as the person we are.
Healthy conflicts:
Engaging in sincere and constructive arguments, taking responsibility for one's own issues, setting healthy boundaries, cultivating compassion, forming attachments while remaining true to oneself.
Boosting self-confidence:
Becoming consciously aware of one's own patterns, needs, and motivations, expanding one's range of action, and actively shaping one's own life. Embracing all facets of oneself fosters self-love and inner peace, leading to personal growth.
Live life on your own terms, make clear decisions.
Living in accordance with your values, what gives you meaning, and independently of others' expectations, shaping your life according to your essence. Finding guidance and clarity for decisions; clarity about what is good for you. Successfully doing what aligns with the "yes!" of your mind, heart, and gut.
Develop resilience, live powerfully, abundantly, and with joy:
Activating resources, recognizing and setting boundaries, letting go of draining aspects. With trust in our adult capacities, tolerating or even welcoming challenges. Living in gratitude and a sense of connection instead of stress, burnout, depression, or lack of motivation. Healing from trauma and finding strength within oneself.
Successfully Navigating Changes in Life:
Navigating grief, crises, loss, changes, or reorientation in work or family dynamics, etc., with trust, confidence, and a strengthening connection to oneself. Embracing uncertainty and uncomfortable feelings rather than avoiding them, thereby growing internally through crises.
Inner peace:
"To be 'fully you' means to be 'whole' (literally 'not divided'). In harmony between mind, heart, and gut, embracing your different parts and needs—those that propel you forward or hold you back—leads to growing satisfaction and serenity."
Getting 'mentally healthy':
In humanistic therapy, we view symptoms or 'illnesses' such as depression, burnout, anxiety disorders, compulsions, trauma, panic attacks, addictions, etc., as forms of creative adaptation through which the organism seeks to find a solution. We approach the underlying conflict, needs, fears, and resources with mindfulness.
The only thing you need is the desire to stand up for what you want and the courage to focus on yourself or your relationship. I'm happy to support you along the way.
Ms. Esser-Fochtmann is a really warm and experienced therapist. She always makes sure to connect her work back to the body, which is super important for healing from trauma. What's also really helpful is that she's great at putting into words the vibes and feelings she senses in the room—this helps create some distance and lets you see things from a new perspective. Therapy with Ms. Esser-Fochtmann helped me a lot, really quickly, and I look back on those sessions fondly.
