I am an observant, curious person. I doubt, I fail, I learn, and I unlearn. I have keen intuition and blind spots. I have experiences and many things I know nothing about.
I am a white, German, able-bodied cis woman.
I am 45 years old; I am a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a colleague.
I am a psychotherapist, learning coach, alternative practitioner, and special education teacher.
I am neurodiverse and also simply normal. I am human.
My name is Julia Graf
For me, recognising the self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation of every person combines my experience from the free school system with the attitude of Gestalt therapy and humanistic therapy methods. This includes, for example, consciously dealing with judgement:
Every person has their own standard of judgement and getting to know it and acting in accordance with it can be part of the therapeutic process.
It decides the quality with which we want to make contact with other people, decides which paths we take, decides whether we dare to take a first step into the unknown, decides what we can say a hearty YES to and what we can clearly say NO to.
