Psychotherapy and Adlerian Psychoanalysis
in English, German and Japanese
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a new encounter and an intensive confrontation with our "self", which activates our innate energy to tackle difficulties in life. The reflection process in this therapy encourages our maturing process at the same time. That means, we get to know ourselves anew, find out what exactly we want to become, while learning how to feel and listen to ourselves. This work we do in psychotherapy is similar to that of archeologists. We go on a journey to our past, even to our subconscious, and do a diligent research on our stories we've been writing so far, and analyze our one of a kind lifestyle. This happens through dialog and a trusting relationship between client and therapist, who accompanies clients through the journey.
Individual Psychology (Adlerian Psychoanalysis)
Alfred Adler, the founder of the individualpsychology claims that every emotional suffering deals with interpersonal relationships because human beings are social creatures and cannot exist without society. Feelings of inferiority, pain of separation, lovesickness, conflicts, and power struggles... all these issues we have in life occur because we are not alone. Even loneliness stems from issues in relationship. If we were all by ourselves on this planet, we wouldn't have a longing for tenderness, warmth, recognition, belonging to a community, and therefore we wouldn't know the feeling of loneliness. We take aim to bring the universal (and yet often enigmatic) subject of "relationships" to the forefront and work through the issues. This intensive process happens in therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client.
