Angelka Matthias - Balance for your life
Description
I am a relationship therapist for couples with international background. I am helping people living abroad to build and create healthy and strong relationships. Are you suffering from anxiety, panic disorder, depression, burn out, anger problems, relationship problems, low self-esteem?
Why seek a therapist?
Has your life become out of balance and you feel the need to change some aspects to become more satisfied?
Do you feel the need to talk to someone in a quiet and safe environment? Sometimes, we feel we can't handle yet another crisis. Sometimes, relationships with other people seem to grow out of hand. Talking to a therapist may help you understand the situation better and find a way out.
Visiting a therapist is not a sign of weakness or something that you need to be ashamed of. It is rather a sign of courage, self-awareness and reflects the need to grow as a person.
What should I expect?
It is quiet normal to feel overwhelmed while looking for the right therapist to work with. A good therapist fulfils the role of a listener, conversation partner or motivator.
Social chemistry, competence and experience are equally important. In order to understand your situation time and a quiet and safe environment are essential. In my experience, already two or three sessions give a first good insight into the next steps.
I would like to introduce myself and my working methods through these pages and help you find the right setup.

facebook.comSue Johnson says: "The message of EFT is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions. Instead, recognize and admit that you are emotionally attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent for nurturing, soothing, and protection. EFT focuses on creating and strengthening this emotional bond by identifying and transforming the key moments that foster an adult loving relationship." https://www.facebook.com/drsuejohnson/?hc_ref=ARTfHO2NzSEwkoSSAK_6sISCdZMm4k04pYLc5JDkAAc6wqY3gFpAu73Pf6lQYwVF5cI&fref=nf .

balance through peace of mind — mindfulness There is a lot of talk nowadays, in the general public and media, about “mindfulness”. However, it is actually not a new age phenomenon but “mindfulness” has been around for a very long time. So what is it and where does it come from? Mindfulness is an awareness that arises through paying attention in the present moment without judgment and on purpose. Mindfulness is about knowing what is on your mind, according to Jon Kabat-Zinn, the leading authority on the matter. Recently mindfulness has become more prominent, especially because more research has been done on the subject in recent years and it has been proven that mindfulness has positive effects on your mental balance and it has greatly benefited psychotherapy. Mindfulness has its origins in the Buddhist teachings, but you do not have to be religious or spiritual to practice mindfulness. It is a tool that can help you to live your life in the present and find mental balance in stressful situations. With regular training, you can increase more positive emotions and therefore help to decrease negative ones. Which in turn has a positive impact on reducing depressed or angry feelings. With breathing techniques and controlling your thoughts, mindfulness has found a way to teach people to live more effectively in the present moment. This is especially important when you find it hard to cope and your self-esteem is at a low. I myself went through a mindfulness training with Jon Kabat-Zinn. Furthermore, in a difficult time in my life, I experienced myself how beneficial and calming it can be to live your life in the present moment. It does require regular training, it is like going to the gym and training your body, only here you train your mind. Many successful people, like F1 world champion Nico Rosberg, actress Jennifer Aniston or singer/songwriter Paul McCartney who lead high stress lives have been utilizing mindfulness in their daily lives.
