Personality Disorders

The salutogenic concept of Positive Psychotherapy in the age of globalisation, taking into account stories, wisdom and humour.
Proverbs, as well as mythological motifs, bring up the values and norms of a culture, they refer to certain patterns of thought that are characteristic of culture and capture them in tangible images. Their substructure can be interpreted psychoanalytically.
In Positive Psychotherapy, founded by Prof. Dr Nossrat Peseschkian, a selected proverb is the starting point for exploring the client's particular ways of thinking. Positive Psychotherapy is based on three basic principles:
1st: The principle of hope: Positive Psychotherapy is based on a positive image of man. Each individual can transform his or her possibilities into abilities.
2: The principle of balance: health is a balancing act of various factors: When our body is tired and our senses are overexcited, exhaustion depression often occurs. The feeling of professional overload often leads to depressive pseudo-dementia, disturbances in the contact area cause social isolation, a lack of future planning produces fear of the future.
3rd: The principle of counselling: The counselling of the patient is divided into 5 stages:
a.) The therapist observes the behaviour and thinking of the person seeking advice for half an hour,
b.) the person seeking advice summarizes the events that have shaped his life in recent years,
c.) the therapist discusses possible processing strategies with the person seeking advice,
d.) the person seeking advice defines his goals for the next months,
e.) the person seeking advice defines his or her further aims.
While in the Orient the focus of life is more on the future and contacts, in the West we attach more importance to the physical side and our professional performance. Only if Orient and Occident learn from each other is it possible to keep human life and health in balance in the long run.

Personality Disorders
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
A 'personality disorder' is a dreaded diagnosis for many. Partly due to the stigma it attracts, but also because this umbrella term encompasses a varied set of personal and interpersonal difficulties that are persistent (are not confined in set period of a person's life), problematic and pervasive (affect more than one area of life).
I have an extensive experience working with individuals who either meet criteria for a personality disorder to experience some personality disorder traits. If you think this might be the case for you and would like to explore whether psychotherapy might be right for you, please get in touch.

Berlin's reputation as a hub for creativity, counterculture, and radical self-expression attracts artists, LGBTQ+ individuals, and young migrants from across Europe, generating a therapy community with particularly strong expertise in identity, queer relationships, trauma, and the psychological challenges of creative careers. The German statutory health insurance system funds a significant number of therapy sessions annually through Kassenzulassung-approved providers — though waiting times for publicly funded slots are often long and many residents supplement with private care. Berlin's large Turkish, Arabic, and Eastern European communities drive demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists, and the city has a well-established network of English-language practitioners serving its large expat population. Berlin's complex history — encompassing division, reunification, and proximity to living memory of authoritarian rule — shapes ongoing themes of political identity, freedom, and intergenerational trauma in clinical work.
