My core competence lies in embodiment, i.e. the interactions between the psyche, body and environment. In psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science, embodiment refers to the fact that cognitive processes, emotions and mental representations not only take place in the brain, but are also anchored in the body. We interpret our state of mind based on physical reactions, for example having a “good gut feeling”, “bursting with anger” or “having a lump in our throat”. In addition, most people have a physical outlet for stress: some people's heads, jaws and backs hurt, others get digestive problems or skin rashes. In linguistic terms, embodiment can manifest itself in statements such as “I carry a lot of weight on my shoulders”, “my patient is racking his brains over this” or “the diagnosis is heavy on my stomach”. The good news is that it is not just theoretical understanding but above all practical implementation that helps you to “get going”. The focus is on communication with you, because I am convinced that the key to mental and physical health lies in asking questions and taking consistent action. My approach is based on scientific principles of psychology and evidence-based methods, such as - Motivational interviewing - Acceptance-and-Commitment Coaching - Cognitive-Behavioral Coaching - Positive psychology
