LECTURES

"It is possible to bring a change - but not without taking responsibility yourself."

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BECOMES EMPOWERMENT

I have found the greatest freedom in actively shaping my life. 

 

I encourage this with my story, because: Change is easier for us when we recognize where it can lead us.

LECTURES FOR PATIENT ASSOCIATIONS

"OUT OF PAIN - INTO FREEDOM" - experiences of a former pain patient

The pain should go away! But it doesn't disappear or keeps coming back. Pain, frustration, pressure, fear let up! How can I deal with it differently - better? 

 

I have asked myself this question again and again in over 20 years of chronic pain. In this speech, I will tell you about my experiences. I can and want to encourage you, because even if my pain would still be there: My life has changed fundamentally - for the better. 

 

The best time (to grow and change) is always now.

A SUCCESSFUL STORY THAT MOTIVATE

Patience and motivation are often at rock bottom, especially with long-lasting pain. A personal conversation and an exchange with someone who has had the same experience can make a decisive difference here. And provide the stimulus for even more personal responsibility.

First of all, I talk to you about your patients' priorities. Then I address these individually in my presentations. Using simple examples, I show that personal responsibility can even be fun! And in a way that is realistic, suitable for everyday life and sustainable.

 

One feedback: “It was completely different to hear it all from the perspective of a former sufferer. I was suddenly able to accept what I found difficult to accept from doctors/therapists.”

LECTURES FOR HOLISTIC PRACTICES

(ACTIVELY) CREATING HAPPY RELATIONSHIPS

Did you know that happy relationships can even keep us healthy?

 

We all know that little (or big) sting in the heart when the other person behaves differently than we would have wished. It hurts when we don't feel seen, taken seriously or even rejected. Deep down, there is a longing to feel unconditionally accepted and loved. But sometimes it doesn't even correspond to our own conviction enough to be right - simply incomparably beautiful and lovable.

 

 

Our lives are full of relationships, and still many of them are unhappy. That doesn't have to be the case. Now is the best time for your (relationship) happiness!

 

 

An inspiring lecture with a lot of heart is waiting for you - instant happiness included. :)

SOME OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

  • My pain has taught me to prioritise my needs.

  • Accepting pain is not synonymous with resignation.

  • There have been situations where the pain has helped me.

  • Small things, such as self-love and gratitude, have been important and helpful.

  • One of many positive changes: My values shifted. Today, different things are important to me than before.
