What heals?
Pain, illness, and crises are part of life – no one is spared from them.
The crucial question is: How aware and honest can you face yourself without falling into the same old traps again and again?
On one of my trips through India, I ended up in a Catholic hospital with food poisoning and severe dehydration. Above the entrance to the operating area, a sentence hung as a daily admonition to the doctors: “We treat – God heals”.
No matter what you believe – healing never comes only from the outside.
A treatment or therapy can support you, but the key to lasting change lies within yourself.
I know what illness means because I know what one searches for when the heart aches, teeth grind, relationship conflicts rob you of sleep, and the loss of a loved one almost robs you of your sanity.
I also know the inner conflict in love and the feeling of being betrayed from two sides – by oneself and by the other.
It just has to stop
Through everything I’ve been through, I always wished for the same thing: that the pain – whether physical or emotional – would finally stop, and as quickly as possible.
Today I know that this wish didn’t move me forward an inch.
Because precisely this pain, which I tried to numb and push away in various ways, became my trial by fire in compassion, patience, and devotion.
It showed me where I truly stood and how often I hurt myself – mostly unconsciously – and thus stood in my own way. Until the signs became more drastic and I was ready to look, to feel, and to accept what is.
In Buddhism, pain, illness, and suffering are part of life – we are all affected by them. But the question remains: How aware can I remain without falling into the same trap again and again?
No Longer Falling into the Trap
Unprocessed pain or trauma eventually manifest in new forms – they show themselves in addictions, inner restlessness, excessive or avoided sexuality, or psychosomatic complaints.
Healing needs a safe space where you can open up and grow at your own pace. Mindfulness helps you accept what is present, without suppressing it.
I am here for you – clear and without judgment. Together we build trust so you can look honestly and recognize your parts. Compassion – especially with yourself – is an important key.
Therapy offers you exactly this protected space and the time you need for your process. However, if you only want to function quickly or are looking for a quick fix, I cannot support you with that.
Healing is the path I accompany you on.
