Self-worth is not what we think of ourselves on a good day. It is what remains when we make a mistake, hear criticism or meet a refusal. When your sense of your own value depends on results, on approval or on being needed, every relationship turns into a test, and saying no feels like a risk. My sessions look at where this dependence comes from and how you can build a steadier relationship with yourself.
Usually these are old ways of protecting yourself. Once they made sense; today they often cost more than they give.
Alfred Adler, the founder of Adlerian psychology, saw the feeling of inferiority as something every person knows from childhood. It was Adler who introduced the term "inferiority complex". This feeling can push us to grow. Difficulties begin when we try to prove our worth again and again - through perfection, control, constant help for others or by giving up our own wishes.
In the sessions we look at the beliefs about yourself that took shape early in life: what you had to be like in order to be loved and accepted. Many of them work unnoticed and shape how you behave with a partner, at work or in your family.
Boundaries grow out of this. When you know your own worth, you can say what you want and what you do not accept - calmly, without guilt and without having to justify yourself. We work on this concretely, with situations from your own life.
Authenticity means being yourself with other people, without first checking what they expect of you. My task is to create a space where you can be honest with yourself, and where inner support can grow.
My sessions are consultations. They are not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
