Follow The River

I stepped into this Journey with Benedikt after going through a severe traumatic experience that mixes between genetic psychiatric disorders, a traumatic psychotic episode and an external assault. With God's help, Benedikt's dedication, efforts, positivity and a strong genuine love to help others, I was "invigorated" and taken out of the shadows of fear and walked back to the lights of integration. This is an on-going journey, and I am thoroughly grateful to have Benedikt as a companion and guide.

Meeting Benedikt was an important lube for the milestone I carried with his help of him to a new height. I'm am very thankful to have an empathetic human that I can talk with about everything. He adapts to the vibe of a person without losing his backbone and easily flows with your vibration. He has a great objective view onto things and gives smart advice. His approach to solving mental blockades through body movement and cognitive behaviour therapy is using modern knowledge to our benefit. Breath, feel your body, be in the moment and thrive through existence. Acceptance. Anyway, he is a pretty cool guy and digital mate (I do zoom calls). Cheerio

As a hypnotherapist, Benedikt is not your usual therapist. His technique is based heavily around positivism. Instead of nit-picking and analyzing problems the whole time, which personally usually puts me in a rather negative self-pitying mindset, Benedikt picks a specific dilemma at hand and comes up with an imaginative exercise in which one learns about the interplay of voices and personalities participating in said situation.

While I have had some limited exposure to hypnotherapy centered around maintaining positive states of mind, in my session with Benedikt I ended up learning information about myself that I never would have guessed was there, hadn’t I followed his guidance in personalizing all of the voices inside my head and extending their stories and contexts. By giving face to all of my inner voices, I was enlightened to see that there was no good or bad, right or wrong, only myself and I – different sides of the same person, and all of them desiring to be heard, and not going away.

As a result of reviewing my attitude to my own sub-personalities, I was able to entirely cancel negative attitudes to self that were simply inconvenient given my circumstances. I was able to separate what my culture was pressuring me to do, and what was actually my own highest self, and how it was actually not the self that I was nurturing most at the time.

While Benedikt practices more traditional CBT per request as well, to anyone looking for positivism and self-discovery, I would highly recommend his hypnotherapy exercises, as those are clearly his big gift in helping others. Last but not least, Benedikt is remarkably present and unrushed in sessions.

Thank you for helping me find my direction again!

I am really impressed how professional, passionate about the therapy and flexible in finding the right approach Benedikt is. Combined with his easy-going manner of communication, I was able to feel comfortable on our first session, even though I was in a really confused state of mind and this was a very first therapy session in my life. I appreciate the time and efforts he puts into the sessions, sharing the session journal after our chat and sharing additional materials that could help me on my way. You can't go wrong getting in touch with Benedikt. 10/10

Benedikt hat mich in einer seelisch herausfordernden Situation mit
großem Einfühlungsvermögen für innere Kräfte und Erkenntnismöglichkeiten
sensibilisiert und mir dadurch Halt gespendet. Seine proaktive
Gestaltung des persönlichen wie digitalen Kontakts hat mich auf einen
neuen, heilsamen Weg gebracht. Danke!

Benedikt coacht auf eine ganz besondere Art und Weise – herzöffnend, liebevoll, authentisch und mit sehr viel Ruhe. Er schafft einen Raum, in dem man sich wertgeschätzt und akzeptiert fühlt. Nach jeder Coachingsession mit Benedikt war ich stärker mit meinem Herzen verbunden und hatte das Gefühl, die Liebe in mir, für mich und für andere stärker zu spüren.
Vielen Dank für dieses Geschenk, Benedikt!

Setting a goal at the start of each session, about what would a good outcome look like, helped us to find clear direction and focus. I found this useful as it gave me the chance to go deeper and get closer to the core of my thoughts and feelings.

I would recommend online consults with Benedikt based on his skills to warm up the conversation while letting you feel understood and accepted. I imagine he has a personalized approach to dealing with our internal matters and crises. Above all, his expertise in embodiment psychology allowed me to find the missing associations and provide explanations along with answers to questions I struggle with in life. He also proposes practical and easy-to-follow solutions to coping with stressful situations. Sessions with Benedikt are a valuable time for me, which he dedicates to what I want and look for as it also comes to my choices of how the conversation should evolve.
