I have always been interested in the interactions and intricate relations in any and all relating. I have found that working with a systemic approach and constellations can bring immense insight, clarity and healing into a system. For its simplicity and clarity I have used the idea of C.G. Jung's approach to the “Shadow” as the basis of my work. I have found that triggers and conflicts are a short cut to the unconscious, the avoided and the suppressed. I feel closely related to the assumption that we can become whole by making peace within ourselves and that it is here that we create freedom for ourselves and others. This acceptance and peace making is tremendously healing and empowering as the energy we have used to suppress can be liberated and give us the power to moves towards feeling really, really good about ourselves and our lives. The more peace we can make with ourselves, the more peace we will bring into our relations and into our world. A special focus in my work is working on conflicts in the outside through mediation and counseling for: - Couples and parents - teams and colleagues - social groups and organizations this often includes unveiling taboos, confronting conflicts and unconscious dynamics Conflicts on the inside; Shadow Work is for you if you are - feeling stuck in repetitive patterns in relationships, in conflicts, in your work - tired of suffering from selling yourself short, not showing up for yourself, of postponing what you want experience in your life - feeling a sense of lethargy and fatigue - longing to come out of hiding, to free yourself from repetitive and unsupportive thought patterns or beliefs - feeling torn between the many wants and needs from the inside and the outside - willing to trade in your suffering for passionate YES to life - yearning for greater authenticity, creativity and energy
