Review M.D. 2023

I have seen some psychologists in the past but my experience here was not always good. A lot of homework was given and there was a lot of "have to" involved. This made even more energy demanded of me and I didn't like that. I expected this to be the same with Elke but I was wrong! Elke gives very useful tools that I can apply anywhere (in the store, on the road or when I go to sleep). These tools give more relaxation than effort and that is exactly what I need so badly in this period. I am very happy to be able to turn to someone who listens to me. She asks questions to which I don't always have a ready answer but when she zooms in further, the right answers still come up.

I am someone who worries a lot in bed. The breathing exercises I took home with me help me tremendously with this. I also apply them when I have to deal with "energy suckers" in daily life. In these moments it helps me to come back to myself and shield myself from the negative influence.

I don't have a ready-made solution to my problem so I have to learn to deal with it. Although I still have a long way to go in this, I do trust that I will find ways to make it more bearable. In moments of crisis, I feel that when the stress has settled down a bit, I become calmer more quickly. Before, it would linger more. In addition, I am learning to see happiness back in little things like the sun shining on my face!

When my friends are going through a difficult time, I give Elke her contact information. Elke is a sweet coach who knows exactly what she is doing! What I definitely want to pass along is that the more mature ladies should definitely not think "Allé now, such a young thing. What can she teach me, has too little life experience herself." But that really is wrong. Elke really has a lot going for her and like I said before no effort but relaxation.

Elke is really top notch and I am a stayer.

Thank you so much for all the insights, for your listening ear and your sweet self."
