Life Narrative Work

  • What is my life story, and how did I get here?
  • Am I standing in my own way without understanding why?
  • What have I received from life, and what have I missed?
  • Am I at the beginning of something new?
  • Am I ready to give my life story a turning point?
  • Am I caught between two phases of life, learning to endure and allow?
  • Is life inviting me to close some chapters while opening questions in others?
  • What do I want to pass on to the next generation, and what not?

These—and many other—questions bring people to my practice, inviting reflection, insight, and growth.

Putting Your Life Story at the Center

In Life Narrative Work, we combine conversation with creative methods—writing, drawing, collages, and nature walks. What seems simple often invites courageous and honest reflection. Drawing on Adlerian individual psychology, this process helps you explore your family background, values, and life experiences, opening new paths and insights. These discoveries often bring confidence, clarity, and a sense of peaceful acceptance or letting go.

Opening Up to Yourself

Life Narrative Work helps you become more curious about yourself. Family values, assumptions, and norms are reflected on and reconciled, sibling relationships explored, and your personal resilience understood. The influence of parenting styles from family, school, and society becomes clear. Achievements and missed opportunities are revisited and adapted for the present, helping you live more fully in the here and now.

Sessions

Life Narrative Work usually involves 10–12 sessions of 90 minutes each. Spacing sessions every 2–3 weeks allows the insights gained in each meeting to settle and take root, giving you time to reflect and integrate them before moving forward.

Languages

Life Narrative Work is offered in three languages:

  • German
  • English
  • Italian
