But how do we manage to actively shape our lives again?
First, it is important to understand what we are experiencing in the moment – self-reflection helps us take a step back, observe ourselves and recognize what we are experiencing in the moment and what is troubling us. It can be helpful to take a close look at what we trigger in ourselves with our way of life and how we affect others.
Based on this, we can consider what our everyday life could look like and what changes we are striving for in our lives. A healthy self-confidence is very important here – so that we can better understand our needs and motivations – but our experiences and important insights that we have gained in our lives can also help us.
In order to initiate a change process, we need self-confidence – in our goals, in our path and in our ability to achieve them. Trusting ourselves does not mean that we suddenly stop doubting and can achieve anything, but that we feel confidence in ourselves that our path is important and that we can rely on ourselves when things get difficult.
Self-reflection is important to develop this trust in ourselves. It helps if we know ourselves well – with all our facets – our strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, talents as well as our psychological and physical characteristics.
As a therapist, I will accompany you on this path of self-reflection – you have come to the right place if you have the following goals for your personal life:
- Are you searching for your wishes and true needs and want to understand what drives you?
- Are you willing to question your own actions and reactions and are you looking for a new way of dealing with your fellow human beings?
- Would you like to learn how to deal with crises and conflicts and grow with them?
- Would you like to develop a new attitude towards mistakes and learn from them?
- Would you like to take the first step, develop yourself personally and promote your mental health?
