Help with anxiety, trauma, and blockages

How to get anxiety disorders under control

In fact, most of us experience a difficult, anxiety-provoking phase in our lives sooner or later. But such a low is usually followed by a high all by itself. However, fears can also develop at this point that limit you and your life to a greater or lesser extent.

typical anxiety disorders?

If fears are exaggerated, they can limit you and your life to a greater or lesser extent. For example, if a one-off frightening event gradually spreads to other areas of your life. This causes those "vague" states of anxiety where you cannot put the feeling or the reasons for it into words. Your professional or private life can present you with situations in which your tried and tested coping strategies no longer work. This is especially true if you adopt unwanted behaviors out of fear or consciously or unconsciously avoid certain situations.

Symptoms: Anxiety disorders make life difficult

Causes & Treatment

Causes: often suppressed feelings

Loss, grief, being overwhelmed, hurt or exhausted: almost every adult is familiar with at least one of these unpleasant states. If these feelings, which often arise in childhood, are suppressed over a long period of time, they can lead to anxiety, trauma or depression - and this does not necessarily require a single shocking experience.

Treatment: There are many ways out of fear

I will help you to get rid of your fears. We will identify entrenched behavioral patterns and resolve old beliefs that have been fueling your fear. The goal is that you can once again tackle your life as freely and independently as you have long wanted. The first step is for you to talk to me about your fear. Perhaps you can bring a trusted person with you to this conversation. We will then decide together how we want to deal with your specific fear. This could be conversations. Behavioral therapy. Coaching. Or hypnotherapy.

What are typical anxiety disorders?

When fear takes over

Do fears limit your everyday life? Do you cancel appointments or do you consciously avoid situations? These are behavioral patterns associated with an anxiety disorder. If you keep repeating them, you reinforce them. In order to find your way back to a free life, it is important to break free from ingrained behavioral patterns. I will support you on your path to freedom from fear and self-determination.

emetophobia

The fear of nausea and vomiting

Is there a fear of vomiting? Yes, I often get this surprised reaction when I talk about emetophobia. Having to vomit is never pleasant, but for most people it is bearable - you often feel much better afterwards. Unlike non-phobics, however, emetophobics do not feel normal disgust or fear, but rather experience vomiting as an existential threat. In my work as a naturopath and naturopath for psychotherapy, I have specialized in emetophobia - and explain what the symptoms and causes are and how those affected can overcome this anxiety disorder.

panic attacks

Anyone who stands beside themselves is no longer completely at peace with themselves

"I'm dying!" "I'm going crazy!" "I'm not myself anymore!" - typical symptoms of a panic attack. A panic attack is a physical or psychological alarm reaction - objectively usually completely unfounded - which is made even worse by the fact that you experience it as life-threatening. Since these attacks are usually psychological in nature, we can contain them very well with psychological or neuroscientific treatment. The dangerous thing about panic attacks is that they take away the joy of life from those affected and lead to a vicious circle of attacks, fear, attacks, depression, addiction, and possibly even suicide.

trauma

When stressful events affect your life

A trauma is a distressing event or situation, usually occurring in childhood, that the affected person is unable to cope with and process. Examples include accidents, losses, and other distressing events that may be associated with feelings of fear, humiliation, helplessness, and shame. The death of a loved one, a serious illness, an abortion, or early childhood physical, psychological, and sexual abuse can also leave deep wounds on the psyche that affect a person for a lifetime. Any situation or experience that triggers a state of confusion, shock, a feeling of loss of control, helplessness, and inability to act can be considered traumatic. Often, the triggering traumatic event is only partially conscious.

social phobia

What do others think of me?

Some people are constantly tormented by the fear of being judged negatively by others. Their heart races, they sweat and tremble in situations where they are the center of attention. These are typical symptoms of social phobia. This anxiety disorder can severely limit the lives of those affected. In therapy, I show my patients how they can better control their excessive fears. Step by step, they gain more self-confidence in dealing with others. And in this way learn to overcome their social phobia and to participate in life again without fear.

hypochondria

When the fear of an illness becomes an illness itself

Hypochondria is the fear of suffering from a serious, even life-threatening illness. Those affected can imagine the symptoms for so long and so intensely that physical and/or psychological damage actually occurs. As with all other mental illnesses, the cause of hypochondria lies deep in the subconscious of those affected. In coaching sessions, we will locate these parts of your consciousness and change them so that you can live your life without hypochondriacal fears from now on.

agoraphobia

If you avoid life because of claustrophobia

Do certain places such as large squares or situations with large people, crowds or even traveling make you very anxious? So you avoid concerts, festivals or using public transport? The reason could be agoraphobia if all of these situations make you feel like you're losing control. Incidentally, psychology uses the term "claustrophobia" to describe agoraphobia, the fear of public places and large spaces. In colloquial terms, many people use the term "claustrophobia" to describe the fear of small spaces, meaning claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces). It can be a sub-form of agoraphobia. In both cases, it's about fear of losing control and avoiding situations that trigger anxiety.

body dysmorphia

vicious circle of self-criticism and addiction to change

In body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), looking in the mirror becomes an overly critical evaluation of one's own, actually unproblematic, attractive, or normal appearance. People affected by BDD no longer accept their bodies as they are. But it doesn't stop there. They judge themselves as ugly, sometimes even disfigured. Depending on gender, the focus of this self-criticism is often on specific body parts, such as the face, breasts, physique, abdomen, or legs. One study showed that the triggers for the disorder lie in puberty. Neglect by parents, lack of recognition within the family or at school, even abuse, can be the causes of BDD. Those affected have repressed these experiences or events. They focus on their appearance in order to find recognition and renewed strength and to cope with existing emotional burdens.

burnout

The diagnosis of "burnout" describes a disease of our time. It is a state of absolute exhaustion in which those affected are completely at the end of their strength and need help. This phenomenon affects both high achievers in their professional lives and people who, at first glance, are exposed to completely normal stress. In the latter case, it is often the sum of many different stresses that lead to burnout. Recognition and analysis are therefore more difficult, and above all, acceptance of the burnout situation in the private and professional environment represents an additional problem for those affected. It is now important to get to the bottom of the causes. This means strengthening your own performance in a targeted manner. Or checking whether the expectations you have of yourself are realistic. The environment should also be examined with regard to the question of whether it even offers the possibility of implementing your own expectations. I am at your side during these processes.

blockages

When inner obstacles literally paralyze

In stressful situations, the body and mind often fail: nerves are frayed, fear and panic spread. The symptoms are truly stressful: racing heart, sweating, trembling; many describe the situation as inner paralysis. Blockages prevent us from acting and formulating clearly. These inner obstacles often arise from unprocessed experiences, trauma or negative thought patterns. They affect our lives and lead to missed opportunities. In psychotherapy, we differentiate between mental and emotional blockages. Mental blockages are based on negative beliefs, emotional blockages on deep-seated connections between memories and thoughts. They influence our perception and actions.
