A crisis does not automatically mean that something is "wrong" with us. Rather, it is a state of being overwhelmed: what has previously supported us suddenly no longer works. This can be very frightening, but it often also comes with an opportunity – namely, to find new paths and grow internally. Possible triggers for a crisis include: separations or losses, professional upheavals or overload, illness, both physical and mental, conflicts in the private environment, transitions in life (e.g. children moving out, entering retirement).In a crisis, it is often helpful not to have to be alone. Psychotherapy offers a safe space where feelings like fear, sadness, anger, or hopelessness can be expressed. A psychotherapeutic accompaniment can help you regain stability, make everyday life more manageable, and restore inner calm. It is also important to strengthen resources, to connect to previous strengths and coping strategies. Slowly, it is possible to develop new perspectives. Out of the crisis, new values, goals, and courses of action can emerge. A crisis often feels hopeless at the moment. But it does not mean stagnation, rather change. If you feel you need support in a difficult phase of life, psychotherapeutic guidance can be an important step. You don't have to go through it alone – there is help.
