Q&A
Why Human Design?
Your Human Design, similar to your astrological birth chart, is determined by the planetary constellation at the moment of your birth. It is therefore only a snapshot in time, but contains a surprising amount of information about your life path and your own physical energy.
It's important to note that Human Design is a metaphysical system, and its accuracy and effectiveness are filtered through your individual interpretation and beliefs. While some people find it insightful and helpful, others approach it with skepticism.
Human Design is what you make of it.
How do I know that psychological counseling is right for me?
You can tell by your personal satisfaction with it...
...how your life is going.
...who you share your life with.
...whether you live your life in accordance with your beliefs.
You can easily test it yourself:
-
On a scale of 1-100 (1 = totally dissatisfied, 100 = completely satisfied), consider your ideal personal satisfaction level. For example, my ideal personal satisfaction level is 70.
-
Now ask yourself what satisfaction value you would give to the three topics mentioned above.
Evaluation: The further you are from your personal ideal level of happiness, the more likely you are to benefit from psychological counseling. But in principle, everyone can learn something from psychological counseling and benefit from it.
P.S.: If you have already been diagnosed with a disorder according to a recognized classification system for medical or mental diagnoses, you should be treated by a specialist or therapist. In consultation with your treating physician/therapist, working with a psychological counselor can be used as a complementary approach and can contribute positively to your recovery.
What if something comes up that I don't want?
Our brain is an incredible instrument, equipped with built-in protective functions. When we experience something that we aren't (yet) able to process emotionally, the brain activates its protective functions and protects us from excessive stress.
In my counseling work, it's important to first build strengths and consolidate confidence in oneself and one's abilities. If a painful experience then surfaces during the counseling process, it can be a sign that the client is resilient enough to consciously process the experience. The brain is dropping the need for a protective barrier.
Violently breaking individual boundaries makes little sense, as there is a risk of (re-)traumatization. As a counselor, I respect all boundaries and only go as far as my clients want and allow.
How long does a psychological counseling process take?
This varies greatly. In general, the duration of a counseling process depends on the depth of the problem, the client's cooperation, and the vibe between client and counselor.
In my experience, a psychological counseling process lasts on average 6-10 months or 5-12 sessions, depending on the client situation.
From the consultant’s point of view, the consulting process is completed when the client’s order has been fulfilled and no follow-up order has been placed.
