MAG. CHRISTIAN BRÜSER
Psychological counselor, couples therapist, certified Shiatsu practitioner, spiritual guide
Individual, couple and group settings
Christian accompanies you sensitively through difficult phases of life and supports you competently in your personal development and change processes. His trademarks are his rich life experience, his warm-hearted presence and his humor.
Thanks to his in-depth training in body therapy, he is able to get his clients' bodies to speak. The body often finds ways or solutions surprisingly quickly that the mind would never have thought of. Offending experiences are stored in the body, as are unconscious patterns. In earlier phases of life, these patterns offered protection, but today they usually stand in the way of personal development.
As a psychological counsellor, Christian supports his clients in becoming more aware of their own needs and recognizing their own goals more clearly. Gradually, restrictive behaviors are left behind so that the unique, very own life can unfold.
Couples often fall into a negative spiral after a few years. Instead of appreciation, they experience criticism, instead of closeness, distance, instead of love, anger and a lack of understanding. As an experienced couples therapist, Christian offers couples a safe space in which genuine contact is gradually re-established, their own patterns become clear and lightness and vitality can once again be felt in the love relationship.
People who suffer from pain, who feel exhausted, burnt out or empty, experience profound transformation in his Shiatsu treatments. They get back in touch with their vitality and zest for life.
With his warmth and life experience as a father and grandfather, Christian offers a safe framework. Clients can let go and experience themselves and their bodies in a new way. Christian touches the whole person and supports the body's self-healing powers.
Christian has travelled the world as a journalist for more than 20 years, reporting from the hotspots of globalization. He experienced his hero's journey in 2013 as the birth into the second half of his life.
Thanks to his training in Gestalt therapy, Shiatsu, trauma and couples therapy as well as spiritual guidance, his particular expertise lies in the areas where body and soul meet.
He offers Holotropic Breathwork in a group setting.
