Everything starts with the identification of the pattern that seems to repeat during your life. Probably you came to a turning point and seeking change.
Sometimes, the pattern started not with you and you recognize it on a family member. A pattern can be a constant repeating event, trauma, illness, physical or an emotional symptom and be manifested in behavior or simply with your capacity to deal with life.
This kind of pattern, are visible on your body- muscle tonos, posture and so on are a reflection of physiologic processes, influenced by your emotions, habits, personality and particular beliefs.
Values, norms, and one´s believe system create body sensations and emotions developing physiologic processes creating the base for the materialization for example in your personality or even creating physical or psychological illness.
With an tangible symptom the need for therapy probably starts:
That ever-repeating event in your life that cause blockages, influences your relationship, health and general well being.
I know it´s difficult to believe- but this blockage is your chance to turn the game into the opposite direction!
We step together into the dualism of your pattern: The resulting defense and resource mechanism. By working trough, the body-sensations, emotions and being aware of the inner movement in connection with your believe-system, with it´s norms and values, is allowed to become more flexible.
Rather that black- white thinking, you achieve the capacity to look far more behind that. You finally integrate the pattern as a necessary aspect for you evolution.
This capacity is the transition point where transformation can occur and new options are practiced in the present life.
My work as a somatic psychotherapist is grounded in a three-step process: identifying patterns, integration, and finding new ways of responding to life.
This approach combines somatic psychotherapy, family constellations, and somatic release practices to support deep and lasting change.
- Identifying the Pattern
The process begins with recognizing recurring patterns in your life. These may show up as repeated emotional experiences, relationship dynamics, stress responses, or physical symptoms.
Often, these patterns are not only personal but also connected to family systems and early developmental experiences.
Through somatic awareness, we explore how these patterns are expressed in the body—through muscle tone, posture, breath, and nervous system responses. This step brings clarity to how your body and mind have adapted over time. In a state of alertness, and an overactive nervous system, this self-observation is not possible. The automatic trauma response probably will plop up- and here the trauma informed therapist becomes fundamental.
Trauma is often a consequence of an interruption of connection. It is important for the integration of traumatic experiences that the space is being hold by a qualified professional.
- Integration
Once the pattern is recognized, we move into integration. Using somatic psychotherapy, Bodynamic therapy, family constellations, and somatic release practices, we work with both the protective strategies and the resources within the pattern.
Traumatic experiences are not just “bad”, they hold the wisdom within. Skills to cope with trauma, that probably are traits of one personality as well just could develop trough the traumatic experience.
This process supports the release of held tension in the body and allows emotional and physiological processes to reorganize.
At the same time, unconscious beliefs, values, and relational dynamics become more visible and flexible. Integration creates a bridge between awareness and embodied experience.
- Finding New Ways
As integration develops, new possibilities begin to emerge. Instead of reacting through familiar patterns, you gain the capacity to respond with more choice, presence, and adaptability. That does not mean you took something that belongs to you away- new possibilities to react to challenging situations have been added.
This last stage focuses on practicing new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to life. With a more regulated nervous system and increased body awareness, you can move beyond fixed patterns and develop more supportive and sustainable responses in your daily life.
