An insight into my work

As a Zen-therapist, I first work with trauma, its imprints and shadows. Some traumata and imprints cannot be found in one’s own life. This includes transgenerational trauma. I also include the Jungian archetypes with shadow-work. As a coach, I look with you for a goal that you want to achieve. Goal-oriented work makes sense especially when you are currently involved in a project or a challenge. Coaching can also bring a lot of nonsense, especially when the motivation which drives you, consists of imprints, trauma, shadows, social constraints and beliefs and thereby falsifies your actual wishes.

As a Zen master, I teach you the art of devotion to your respective experience and life situation. You get to know yourself as something that is bigger than the little “self”.

Living and learning Zen in everyday life is the true Zen way. It is a path because no one has ever walked it except you. There is one direction that could be called right. But the way you go is different for every person. Zen therapeutic work is like a cup of good tea, a trip to a distant, remote country or climbing a mountain. There is no particular point in drinking tea or climbing a mountain. But that’s exactly why it’s so fulfilling. Together we take a journey into the subconscious; It sometimes starts with tears and slowly spreads into your everyday life with deep satisfaction and selfless-self-awareness.
