Understand
What is trauma?
The term trauma comes from the Greek word meaning "wound" or "injury." Just as a physical wound is sensitive and needs care, so too do psychological injuries.
Trauma occurs when something in life is too overwhelming, too sudden, or too lonely to be processed in that moment.
The effects
How trauma affects everyday life
Traumatic experiences leave their mark on the nervous system, our emotional experiences, and our relationship patterns. Often, we remain trapped in internal states of alarm or develop strategies to avoid pain.
Trauma can distort our self-image, separate us from other people, and cause certain everyday situations to trigger old reaction patterns.
But just as a wound has the ability to heal, so too does our psyche possess a deep potential for regeneration and integration.

My work with trauma
In my trauma work, I accompany you mindfully, lovingly, and clearly.
In doing so, I am guided by the approaches of:
-
Gabor Maté, who emphasizes the connection between trauma, stress and authenticity,
-
Thomas Hübl, who makes collective and relational trauma dynamics visible,
-
Peter Levine, whose somatic approach enables healing through the nervous system,
-
Diederik Wolsak, whose Choose Again process promotes inner freedom and self-responsibility. The Choose Again Circle work in small groups supports you in achieving your inner freedom.
These approaches complement each other and enable comprehensive, in-depth work that includes body, emotions and consciousness equally.
Book recommendations for trauma work:
It combines psychology, spirituality and social dimensions, offering ways to recognize and heal collective wounds.
Very practical and suitable for everyday use by people who want to actively work on themselves. Includes exercises to release physical and emotional blockages.
Maté shows here how physical illnesses and psychological stress are often linked.
A book that goes deeper: It questions our ideas of "normality", health and illness, and illuminates how social structures, stress and trauma often work unnoticed.
A valuable guide for anyone who wants to learn how to transform inner beliefs and become emotionally free.
My approach
Body-oriented trauma work
Safety first
We only work as fast as your nervous system allows. You set the pace.
Body-oriented
The body knows what it needs. We work with bodily sensations, movement, and breath.
