Mindfulness & Mindfulness-based Interventions

Mindfulness focuses on developing attentive presence: consciously observing what is happening in the present moment, without immediately judging or reacting. This allows you to act more consciously. In addition, mindfulness often helps you gain more distance from certain thoughts, developing mindfulness and compassion.

In my practice, I use mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions as part of the treatment.

Many psychological complaints are accompanied by constant worrying, analyzing, or reacting on autopilot. Mindfulness helps you recognize these patterns and gain more distance from them. Not by pushing away thoughts or feelings, but by noticing them as they are, creating space for freedom of choice.

I don't use mindfulness as a standalone technique, but rather integrate it into the therapy, tailored to your complaints and goals. This may mean we work with short attention exercises, body-oriented exercises, or reflecting on automatic reactions in daily life.

Mindfulness-based interventions don't require any special prior knowledge or attitude to life. Exercises are built up step by step and adapted to your capabilities. Attention is paid to boundaries, pace, and any resistance; mindfulness isn't a performance, but a way of kindly and curiously exploring.
