Healthy Autonomy

Workshop Fr11: Friday, Oct. 21, 2016, 05:30 – 07:15 pm

When somatic symptoms (such as weight problems, hypertension, asthma) are expressed, these are often the consequences of experiences of violence in many different forms, either on one's own body or even past generations.

Other possible consequences: no healthy contact with one’s own body, mental "illnesses" as "Bipolar disorder" or even "schizophrenia". Also, happy, stable partnerships and healthy sexuality are often not possible.

By means of the constellation work, the cause and background of physical and mental symptoms can gradually be uncovered and healthy contact with the body and a healthy relationship with oneself can be restored.

Andrea Stoffers, born 1963, since 2007 naturopath for psychotherapy in private practice with a focus on preparation work on the basis of attachment theory by John Bowlby and the Multigenerational Psychotraumatology by Franz Ruppert. Co-author of "Early trauma". Therapeutic guidance, seminars, supervision and training.

Menopause as an opportunity for identity and autonomy development

Mental and physical changes around the menopause, is unsettling for many women. Even devaluation and feelings of loss are frequent consequences. Menopause provides the opportunity for identity clarification and -findung. What we have previously defined for ourselves, is placed in question:

• Is it still useful to have to be quick?
• Is it still important never to be afraid?
• Whom did I have to prove, never to be tired?
• Am I only a woman when capable of childbearing?

Overexerting experiences in early years of life, can cause psychotrauma that causes our psyche to split. Behaviors were created, which were useful in the past, but in the present, have become detrimental and "self-propelling". In working with the sentence of concern, we encounter these parts - we encounter ourselves. Unconscious survival strategies can be replaced by healthy, self-chosen behavior..

The workshop mainly refers to the female menopause. Men go through the change in another form. You are welcome to gain more understanding of the taboo subject of menopause. After a brief introduction, there is the possibility to utilize the group for identity finding.The spaces for self-encounter through the sentence of concern, will be raffled.

Andrea Tietz, born 1959, married, mother and grandmother, naturopath since 1994, her development as a woman and naturopath, inspired her on the topic of menopause. To facilitate mental and physical phenomena she uses naturopathic treatment and constellations.
