About me
I work as a psychological psychotherapist at the University Hospital Frankfurt in the psychiatric department. Here I have been gaining experience in working with psychiatric disorders (bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, severe depression, addictive disorders, anxiety disorders and psychosomatic disorders) for seven years. In addition, I work with outpatients in a private practice and give seminars for psychotherapists in training (Introduction to Psychiatry, Bipolar Disorders, and Schizophrenia). I completed my masters in clinical psychology and finally my training as a psychological psychotherapist at the Goethe University in Frankfurt in the field of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Here at complicated.life I would like to support people worldwide to find back into a mental balance. Sometimes we have too many stresses in our lives such as family crises, problems in relationships, overload at work or illnesses, so that we slip into a mental crisis. This happens to many people and can be treated very well. I can support you with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Systemic Therapy (counseling and coaching), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, DBT and Schema Therapy.
I look forward to supporting you, whether for an extended period of time or on a transitional basis.

Approach
As mentioned above, I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, but I also use methods of acceptance and commitment therapy, emotion-focused methods, systemic therapy, DBT, schema therapy, and many other methods (IPT, pCBT, SRT, PMR, etc.).
We specifically address your concern by identifying it, defining it, and developing a solution. To do this, we must first understand the problem and its circumstances. Only then can it be properly identified and worked on in the various situations in which it arises. In my professional experience, I have found that the intermediate step of recognizing and then accepting is an important step in making things easier to change. Most of the time there is a pain that we need to learn to deal with. If we want to get rid of this pain as quickly as possible, we usually suffer from it even more. This creates what is called "symptom stress" (Ellis) "It is terrible to suffer from depression." This can stand in the way of healing, which is why I have found it helpful to use methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
This can eventually lead to profound and lasting change. If the problem is more profound, the methods of Schema Therapy can be used to re-parent the so-called inner child modes and to change the inner parent modes from critical, driving to caring.
