Space for Softening [into Strength]
Beginne, dir selbst zu vertrauen – indem du die Sicherheit deines Nervensystems stärkst und deine Bedürfnisse wieder in den Vordergrund stellst.
Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen.
Mit Liebe,
Rahel
A Map Back to Your Body:
Your ability to sense, feel, and name what is happening inside your body is crucial for arriving in the present moment. It helps you meet life with trust and curiosity – rather than overwhelm. By gently tracking these sensations, your nervous system can also release and integrate stored stress instead of staying stuck in old survival patterns.
1:1 Guidance
Mein Ansatz basiert auf Somatic Experiencing®, der VITA™-Coaching Methode für Sexualität, Liebe und Partnerschaft sowie meinen eigenen Erfahrungen. Diese intuitiv angeleiteten Sessions helfen dir, mentale, emotionale und körperliche Muster loszulassen, dich wieder mit der Weisheit deines Körpers zu verbinden und ein tieferes Gefühl von innerem Frieden und Verbundenheit mit dir selbst zu entwickeln.
Dies ist für dich, wenn du:
-
es leid bist, alles zu überdenken.
-
deine Verhaltensmuster intellektuell verstehst, dein Körper jedoch trotzdem auf die gleiche Weise reagiert.
-
dich selbst chronisch in Frage stellst und an dir selbst zweifelst.
-
dich schwertust, ohne Schuldgefühle Nein zu sagen, und oft deine eigenen Bedürfnisse hintenanstellst.
-
dich oft gleichzeitig unruhig und erschöpft fühlst.
-
dich in Beziehungen sicher und geborgen fühlen möchtest.
-
Mut und Selbstvertrauen von innen heraus aufbauen möchtest, über „Arbeit an meiner Denkweise“ hinaus.
Du musst nicht "ready" sein. Nur neugierig.
„Man sagt, dass wir alle nach einem Sinn im Leben suchen.“
Ich glaube nicht, dass das das ist, was wir eigentlich anstreben.
Ich glaube, was wir suchen, ist die Erfahrung des Lebens, sodass unsere Lebenserfahrungen auf der rein physischen Ebene mit unserem innersten Wesen und unserer Realität in Resonanz treten, sodass wir tatsächlich die Ekstase des Lebens spüren.“
— Joseph Campbell

Rahels geerdete und einfühlsame Präsenz half mir, geerdet zu bleiben, während wir langjährige Muster von übermäßiger Wachsamkeit und Bewertung meines Körpers erforschten. Schon in unserer ersten Sitzung war ich überrascht, wie natürlich ich mich durch Schichten chronischer Schmerzen und Verspannungen bewegen und Momente der Glückseligkeit und Geborgenheit in meinem ganzen Körper erfahren konnte. Ihre sanfte Begleitung hat mir geholfen, meinem Körper tiefer zu vertrauen und dadurch einen mitfühlenderen und liebevolleren Dialog mit mir selbst zu führen.

Ich habe in dieser einen Sitzung mehr Fortschritte gemacht als in den sieben Sitzungen mit meinem vorherigen Therapeuten. Bin gerade nach Hause gekommen und fühle mich so ruhig wie schon lange nicht mehr.

Ich hatte neulich meine erste Sitzung mit Rahel. Schon nach 15 Minuten merkte ich, wie schnell die Zeit verging. Rahels Präsenz war so natürlich. Es fühlte sich an, als würde ich mich einfach nur gut mit einer alten Freundin unterhalten, und doch war die Sitzung ungemein heilsam.
Ich hatte keine Ahnung, was mich in dieser Sitzung erwarten würde. Ich hätte definitiv nicht gedacht, dass sich eine so tiefgreifende innere Dynamik verändern würde, die mich schon seit zwei Jahren belastet hatte. Wow! Ich verließ die Sitzung mit einem Gefühl der Erleichterung und fühlte mich befreit von einer alten Beziehungsdynamik, die mir nicht mehr guttat.

Die Coaching Erfahrung bei Rahel war super. Ich habe mich bei ihr sehr wohl und sicher (aufgehoben) gefühlt.
Ich konnte innerhalb kürzester Zeit viele Learnings mitnehmen. Ich konnte viel heilen und mitnehmen. Tools/Strategien, die ich im Alltag anwenden kann. Andere Sichtweisen. Eigener Wert erkennen, Grenzen setzen, fühle sehe mich als Königin etc.
![If you feel abandoned by the world... 🪷
If you feel abandoned by the world,
Can you imagine your mother standing on the left behind you, supporting you, putting her hand on your shoulder, can you feel her love?
And your father on the right, supporting you? Can you feel his strength?
Can you remember a moment when your mother held you, where you felt supported by her? Can you remember a moment where your father did that, where you felt his support, his strength?
And if right now this doesn’t come easy to you, maybe you envision your father’s father supporting him. Feel the strength that he passed him on. Feel his mother’s love supporting him...
...and your mother’s mother – your grandmother – supporting your mother, loving her, and your mother’s father supporting her. With his strength.
Can you feel the love and the strength your parents have for you? And their parents‘ love and strength for them?
Notice what’s happening in your body as you feel this support. Stay with it a little if it feels resourceful.
And if this whole imagination and tuning into bodily sensations hasn’t come easily to you – or doesn’t feel resourceful – then I’d love to support you.
Because much of trauma happens in relationship.
And that cannot be healed easily alone.*
❤️
I love you, my mother. I love you, my father.
„We all have guilt towards our parents. Because they gave us life. We cannot pay back. We can only pay forward. The only way to deal with this guilt is through gratitude. Gratitude that they gifted us this life.“ – I hope I quote my Somatic Experiencing teacher and mentor Dennis correctly. Thank you.
*some form of co-regulation may be needed – even if it’s subtle:
- another human
- a felt sense of being held (like in the visualization above)
- nature, spirituality, something larger
- or even an already internalized sense of “I’m not alone with this”
Find out what works for you.

![A little about me 🖖🏽 [and „A Map Back to Your Body“ - a free somatic mini-guide - 🔗 in bio]
Having once worked in journalism and later as a representative of Swiss business interests in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, I realised two things:
• First, that my life looked glorious on the outside, yet still felt shitty inside.
• Second, that what happens in politics—on a national and global scale—is less about improving the world and more a product of deeply individual human dynamics.
Dynamics I didn’t want to be part of. What I experienced, disillusioned me and I knew, the biggest contribution I can do to humanity is to find peace with myself.
I’ve been immersing myself into all kinds of approaches over the past 11 years: Therapy, yoga, singing, dancing, bodywork, energy healing, ayurvedic medicine, and what not.
Eventually I trained as a coach and somatic therapist as it’s always been a – once seemingly unattainable – dream of mine to work individually with people seeking mental (and thus emotional and physical) wellbeing.
Having a very open energy body, being easily excitable and equally influenceable 😎, it’s been essential for me to learn how to root myself in my body, to acknowledge my needs, and to trust my intuition – my path.
Working with the nervous system and going to the depth by renegotiating trauma – has been working very well for me.
It is my pleasure to share my journey and accompany others on theirs – by cultivating nervous system safety and reclaiming their authentic needs.
I created a somatic mini-guide „A Map Back to Your Body“ for you which includes
• a fundamental ORIENTING practice for an increased sense of safety in your nervous system
• a SENSATION VOCABULARY that helps you in tracking your physical experience and hence connect to the present moment, here & now.

![Feeling safe in the warzone 🖤
[>> yesterday‘s blogpost, read via link in bio]
„In the present moment - we were safe. Even when the alarm on our phones showed up, telling us we need to go to the ground floor because an attack is looming - we were still safe in this present moment.“
What a beautiful reminder by a peer of mine of the Somatic Experiencing studies.
On their way from Europe to India to start the next training module with us, the war started - and they were stuck in Dubai for 1 week.
She studied, practiced hands on – on herself and her immediate environment – what being in the present moment really means. What feeling safe inside means, when so much outside is uncertain and unsafe.
I have not personally experienced a war. My bones probably have, my cells, from ancestors of mine. And then, if I extend the definition of war - I am certain my body knows what war feels like…

![On Saturday morning, pretty out of the blue, I had the impulse to write on tumblr again. After 15 years! I realize I’m somewhat tired of Instagram. Ha and I read tumblr has actually been having a comeback recently, is it true?
Anyways, I like it - it‘s algorithm free, allows lengthy texts wherein I can directly share links to books, podcasts, music etc. People are more interested in art and authenticity rather than selling something, it seems.
So, I sat down and wrote a first entry. It’s on instagram/performance (in various areas of life)/talent/free expression/a book I’m reading (“Atomic Habits”)/ another one I binge-read within 24 hours @sophiamolen - and comes with a video of monkeys 🐒 that visited us in the cliffs of Uluwatu on a Balinese-New-Year-Getaway with @tendermind.ch this week: “I’m tired of instagram [and the parts of me it brings out]”. >>link in bio
On Sunday, my fingers again danced with the keys of my laptop! It flowed so freely! This one is about things that have been moving me as well as many girlfriends of mine a lot lately: Women/anger/the (dis)connection with our bodies/romances in which we suffer/ shame/chronic self-doubt: „Women who chase men“. >> link in bio
Also, I want to share that I offer 1:1 guidance (I‘ll be allowed to call myself officially a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in November once I graduate! After 3 years studying, applying, receiving - whoop!) still, with ever increasing wisdom 😎. Let’s find out how many sessions the intention you bring into the container likely needs? >>book free intention call via link in bio
I’ll be happy to hear from you - also your reflections on my tumblr-entries! Comment there or dm me here.
Thank you.

![The death of a parent shakes up everything:
{auf Deutsch unten}
What is the meaning of life?
Why all of this [life]?
What to do with this time on earth?
What is important to me?
Did I do enough?
Did I show love enough?
Did they trust that I love them?
What did I see that was not there?
What did I not see that was there?
What does family mean?
Why does it hurt so much?
What did I make my experience mean about me?
About them?
About our relationship?
What if I have always belonged?
What if all of us, in the family, belong to the family, no matter what?
What if all of us really belong?
⚡️🤯 …just some of the questions that come up for me.
I love the gentle invitations of my somatic experiencing therapist to:
• allow every experience to be here - not trying to be positive
• keep checking in what the responses are in my body
• to stay just a little bit longer with each experience - and especially with those where I feel my inner strength, compassion and a sense of „this is right“.

![6 Things about Grief (from a nervous system perspective) 👇🏽[Deutsch in den Kommentaren]
1: the body senses absence as a kind of shock. Support is essential.
2: allow grief to oscillate - cry, sigh, feel heavy, and be with moments of relief, laughter and aliveness. Cultivate safety so your system feels safe enough to move back and forth.
3: go slow! allow the body to feel just enough so it can integrate what happened.
4: follow impulses like curling inward, bowing, reaching or resting - is crucial for grief to not get stuck.
5: with presence and attunement, grief can actually expand the system‘s capacity to feel alive, be tender and in contact.
6: meaning comes after feeling the physical sensations

![Retelling is reliving…
The very nature of trauma is: too much, too fast.
Too much information, too fast for a small or big person’s system to process.
As a result, a pattern forms in the body, which repeats itself again and again in the future.
To teach the body a different response is only possible if we take it slow.
Piece by piece.
Bite by bite.
🍰
Processing of trauma does not happen if it‘s done at the same speed and intensity as the trauma happened:
Retelling,
…without slowing down
…without noticing what’s happening in the body
…without making sure that every piece of information is met with a sense of safety
is reliving. Retraumatizing - or at least consolidating stagnation.
Therefore: from a trauma-healing perspective, it doesn’t make sense to just retell a story.
Take it slow. Piece by piece. Bite by bite. Have someone guide you: Disconnection from others, and disempowerment, are the core-experiences of psychological trauma. Now you can offer what’s been missing in the past.
You can experience new responses in your physiology, emotional reality and come to new understandings.
Revisit these new realities of yours, anchor them in your system, so they get solidified - and the old patterns, they soften.
