Domestic Abuse Therapists in Jena, Germany

I have worked with a number of people who have sought support because of being in an abusive relationship. In my clinical experience, at least, there is often a struggle between the part of the person that knows they are being victimised, and another part that finds it very difficult to leave and imagine different possibilities (being alone; or being in an overall caring and supportive relationship). Domestic abuse also takes place between family members, who are not in an intimate relationship (for example parents towards their children, and they other way around). Please get in touch, if you think you are or have been in any way part of an abusive or violent family dynamic, and would like to think about this with a mental health professional.

I use EMDR therapy to reprocess traumatic material, to support development of new perspectives, beleifs about yourself and to create space for new ways of coping and feeling.

Helping individuals take on abuse and fight for a peaceful and safe environment.

Jena is a Thuringian university city home to Friedrich Schiller University, one of Germany's historic research universities, and the birthplace of the Carl Zeiss optics company and SCHOTT AG—both still major local employers—giving the city a distinctive identity as both an elite academic and a high-technology industrial center that has navigated the profound economic transformation from East German planned economy to the unified Germany market economy. The psychological legacy of reunification—Ostalgie (nostalgia for the East), identity disruption, and the economic upheaval of the Wende—is present in the experiences of many older residents, while younger generations and international students bring a more globally oriented perspective. Mental health services are provided through public health structures, and a private therapy sector serves the university community and professional population. Common therapy concerns include identity and community belonging in a city navigating post-reunification change, student mental health at a demanding research university, anxiety, and the particular experiences of an East German city that has adapted more successfully than many of its neighbors but still carries the weight of transformation.
