Overview of the playing fields
I believe that people who make use of therapy are not ill, but courageous. If only because they look where it would be easier to be distracted. And I am convinced that everyone who starts doing inner work benefits from it. This is because our nervous system reacts to challenges in a certain way: Wherever an experience is too challenging to respond to smoothly, the nervous system ensures that the experience is compensated for internally. With mechanisms that have proven themselves over thousands of years. This is wise to protect ourselves,- and has the disadvantage that this process is not conscious to ourselves. The built-in compensations remain invisible and imperceptible, but sustainably reduce the range of life and experience.
The aim of therapy is to gradually release more of this frozen life force so that it is available for other things: more energy, a clearer gut feeling, more knowledge about what my life can look like. It is often the first therapy experiences that make roots more palpable again and new movement more possible. Therapy is thus also a step towards oneself: To that which is inherent in one’s own life in terms of strength and depth.
Psychotherapy according to HPG in practice
I really appreciate therapeutic work: In my opinion, there is no other form of counseling that goes so deeply and has such a lasting effect. The fact that effects are often noticeable after a few hours is also due to the nature of the work: we dive deep, use body therapy approaches to relax charges in the nervous system, use hypnotherapeutic methods to relate to preconscious content, explore the identity that lies beneath everything with NARM methods and is sometimes already the answer to early unfavorable external conditions. The systemic lens ensures awareness of eye level, inner ambivalences and boundaries of the inner process that must be respected.
For example:
- Working with an experienced health care worker to process stressful experiences following a client's assault.
- Work with a young woman who experienced assault long ago, the after-effects of which are still evident in relationships and intimate contacts today.
- Working with a young man who has uncovered his own issues through self-awareness, which he now wants to integrate more deeply and with direct support.
- Work with a young woman who was more tense and irritable after an accident than before.
- Working with an experienced manager in a corporate environment on the perception of feeling alone in difficult situations and having to fight your way through.
- Working with a man on symptoms of insomnia and latent restlessness for which there seemed to be no triggers.
- Working with a midlife woman on integrating early experiences of loss that involved a fundamental fear of closeness.
- Work with a woman after an inpatient stay in a psychosomatic clinic, in order to accompany the transition into everyday life well and to transfer what has been learned.

Clarify what has been in the way of the life force so far
Often people come inwardly subdued, listless, drained. Or they don’t even know what they are there for — just that something is not going well right now. Sometimes this is associated with tension in the body or latent restlessness. Sometimes so quiet that you could almost miss it. We take a closer look at what it is actually about and what it would take to bring more power back into life.
Learning to live with intensity and discharge activation
Inner restlessness, strong feelings, chronic stress or the feeling of being very thin-skinned: We look deeper behind symptoms and relieve the nervous system where energy is mobilized. No matter if you know the story about it or not.
Fear, Anger & Grief
Crisis & Trauma
Finding life through the crisis
Crises are changes that are or were too much to respond to fluidly with on-board resources. The nervous system then takes over the role of regulation and ensures that the rest can continue to function. Sometimes this goes hand in hand with a lot of emotion, sometimes with surprisingly little. We look at what it takes to get back on the ground and get the nervous system well connected.
Build more vibrant relationships
For many people, deep and authentic relationships don’t come naturally, without you being able to pinpoint exactly why. Together we look at what stands in the way of deeper contact and open the space for new experiences. This often changes the contact to others — and the closeness to oneself.

Framework of our work
How it could go further
I work therapeutically in processes in which we work on deeper issues over about 3–4 months with 8 individual sessions. If you would like to get to know this work, we can meet via Zoom for a non-binding and free introduction. If you wish, a first trial lesson will follow. After this, we both decide whether to continue with the initial process. Before this ends, we clarify whether we should continue with the next process, take a break or finish the work.
