Certified natural healer Stephan Niederwieser started in the mid-80s to study various diets and received his first training in New York: in reflexology. He also studied color therapy, shiatsu and classical homeopathy as well as receiving 2nd grade Reiki initiations. However psychotherapy soon became his primary access to a healthy psyche. He received his first training in psychotherapy (body-centered psychotherapy), at the Hakomi Institute in Heidelberg. He has been a certified natural practitioner since 1989.
Several years ago he discovered the method of constellation therapy. After intensive study of the causes of personality-disorders he came to the conclusion that all personal problems are based on traumatic experiences in the past. If you go through something that cannot be handled by your psyche, it cuts off the experience, even the memory of it. What remains are the consequences, e.g. avoidance (e.g. of closeness to a partner because closeness was dangerous as a child), or self-indulgence (e.g. sex addiction as a result of the self-experienced sexual abuse). Also depression, workaholism, or poor memory may be strategies to avoid painful memories. Other physical and emotional symptoms may include migraines, anxiety, difficulties in enjoying sex or inability to relax …
This special kind of constellation work helps us to understand what is hidden behind the current problem. It helps us to identify trauma and to overcome it. The following questions will be addressed: What situation was so overwhelming that your psyche had to split off feelings and repress memories? What survival mechanisms did you develop to displace the consequences of this experience in your consciousness? and how can you integrate this experience today, so that you are able to enjoy the fullness of self-expression: happiness, pleasure, lust again.
Author of several sex guides Stephan has dealt with the subject of sex, including sexual abuse in all of its forms. An intense exploration of his own trauma makes him an experienced guide through the rapids of all emotional trouble.
