As a private individual
As a human, I haven't escaped the questions and difficulties that come with our existence. The critical voices echoing from my past often filled me with anxiety, especially in situations where I wanted to showcase what I'm capable of.
I was afraid of feedback that I wasn't good enough, afraid of the judgmental reactions of others. However, I feared this so much because it was the reality in my head, not the real present/ reality.
I have since learned that these critical voices were messages conveyed by others, not necessarily reflecting the reality—yet they impacted my present. I started to realize that I don't have to let these internal messages dictate my experiences.
To this day, I'm on my journey of self-awareness, but dealing with these anxious, self-critical thoughts was a cornerstone in this process.
I make sure to include activities that bring joy into my life. One major source of this is connecting with animals. It's a special experience how I instantly get into the present moment as I get close to an animal.
Dance and martial arts are important parts of my life. During dance, I feel fulfilled connecting with my partner, and the experience that my body knows exactly how to move, I can trust it. With martial arts, I get a lot of adrenaline and it's also a good tool for pushing my boundaries.
As a therapist
Why do I function and feel this way? Is this normal? Is there a way out? Many of us have similar questions when facing difficulties. And yes, it is normal. Our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors have understandable reasons and histories. These reasons are waiting to be understood and then changed.
Many of us have self-critical thoughts that can take away the joy of connecting with others, the feeling of flourishing in your activities, or being able to be yourself.
These thoughts might be about "not being good enough," "others thinking badly of me," or even "something bad is sure to happen," which often come with anxiety. But can we really know for sure what others think of us? Is it really true that only bad things can happen in the future? What could be the way out of these thoughts and feelings?
I can help you explore your troubling thoughts in an accepting atmosphere, examine how much they reflect reality, and help you dare to engage in situations with a new, more realistic perspective (for example, with less negative, doom-filled attitudes) while getting to know new ways of behaving.
To support this, I also use other tools, like relaxation.
Just as the effect of negative/distorted interpretations can work like a vicious cycle on your emotions and behavior, it can also become an upward spiral.
Through this process, you move more into the present, your anxiety-inducing interpretations become more realistic, which gives increasing space to positive emotions, new experiences, and truly knowing yourself.
So many things go through a person's mind... but are they all true?
