What is Psychological Flexibility?
Life is like a voyage on the open sea. In sunshine and calm waters, it's easy to stay on course and be the person we truly want to be. But at any moment, storms can arise and veer us off our path. Psychological flexibility allows us to be present in the face of any storm, to open ourselves to our experiences, and to do what matters to us. Thus, we can stay on the course we set for ourselves.
Psychological Flexibility Training
My specialized training program includes the following modules and learning objectives:
​MODULE 1: Be Present
​
-
The noticing self: You learn how to take an observational perspective on your thoughts and feelings, so you can better understand and deal with them.
-
Flexible attention: You learn to consciously direct your focus so you can concentrate on the essential in the here and now in the face of challenges, and align your actions with your values.
​
MODULE 2: Open Up
​
-
Defusion: You learn to create distance from your thoughts and see them as passing events. This enables you to assess which thoughts help you live your values and which hold you back.
-
Acceptance: You learn how to make room for any feelings, so you can open up for challenging emotional experiences that life brings.
​
MODULE 3: Do What Matters
​
-
Values: You learn to connect with your values and use them as a compass for your actions, so you can focus on what matters to you in every situation.
-
Committed action: You learn how to live your values in action, so you can effectively and meaningfully progress on your personal journey.
​
Please note: This training spans a total of 6 weeks with one session per week lasting 60 minutes each. Individual scheduling adjustments are possible. Sessions can be conducted online or in person, and in either English or German.
My Motivation
Why do I see myself as a passionate ambassador for Psychological Flexibility? Because from personal experience, I know how important and effective this skill is for a fulfilling life. I know what it feels like to neglect the expression of one's own values and to pretend, for example, out of fear of rejection or failure. Especially during the time of my coming out or during periods of high workload, Psychological Flexibility has tremendously helped me. With my training offer, I also want to empower you to live your authentic self and follow your heart
