Your body is always with you.
You may not always be in and with your body
and may not remember much,
but your body has always been there.

“I understand it logically, I can completely understand their behavior, but I still feel like I can't get rid of it, it's deep in my body.”

The body-oriented trauma therapy of emotion-focused bodywork focuses on releasing and experiencing stagnant emotions in your body. It is about you, your body and your feelings as a unit. Issues are often experienced mentally as 'closed and understood', but they are usually firmly rooted in the body. How can that be? Through touch and movement, through your voice, your breath, through conversation and slowness, we address the trauma that is stuck in the body.

Emotion-focused bodywork may help you to get back into your body. Trauma of any kind may often lead to a state of dissociation. We are gone, no longer in our body and if we are, then probably only in our head. This is completely healthy for the psyche in order to survive! At some point, however, the moment may come when it's no longer about surviving, but about living - and doing so happily and with full body awareness. But how do you get out of your head and into your whole body again? If the mind has already analyzed, understood and perhaps even mentally forgiven, but the body is still stuck in trauma, even the seemingly simplest situation may become an emotional rollercoaster.

Do you see yourself in this?

° You've been sleeping restlessly for months and drag yourself through the day feeling tired, but you don't dare to be quiet with yourself out of fear of what might come up?

° Your thoughts are often negative, you have the feeling that nobody understands you, your digestion alternates between phases of constipation to sudden diarrhea. You'd rather keep blaming “society” than facing your loneliness, but you wouldn't even know how?

° You have stomach cramps and you often feel sick, but you'd rather carry on working and suppress your pain with painkillers?

° You let your anger out during sports and know every kcal of your food, but you haven't cried in months?

° You are always cheerful and optimistic, but your skin flares up regularly and the prescribed ointments no longer help?

° You are always willing to help and have sacrificed a lot in your life to be there for other people, but no one is grateful for it?

° Something bad happened to you many years ago and you put it aside in order to have a good life, but for some time now nothing has worked out anymore and you can't help yourself?

Your body and your feelings are communicating with you.
Can you listen to them? Can you listen to yourself?

How long does a session last?
A bodywork session lasts for 3 hours. With lots of time, mindfulness and slowness we give our attention fully to your issues. The session are open for both women and men!
However, appointments for emotion-focused bodywork may vary in length depending on your concerns.
The first appointment for emotion-focused bodywork usually lasts about 3 hours.
Subsequent appointments last between 2 and 3 hours. Longer appointments are also possible. I only offer appointments of 2 hours or more for emotion-focused bodywork. You will quickly realize that your body needs time to open up and release.
