Beside other approaches, we use questionnaires, which also play an important role in the counseling process itself.

They often occur in the house or apartment of those seeking advice and are referred to as poltergeist and apparitions<\/em> described as in particular, kinetic phenomena (e.g. movement, disappearance or appearance of objects), inexplicable noises (e.g. knocking, footsteps), smells, temperature fluctuations and perceptions of visible (shadows, diffuse figures, light, etc.) or invisible presences are reported.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h6″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Internal phenomena”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752216980521{padding-right: 80px !important;}”]… are exceptional phenomena that clients perceive mentally or in their bodies as an internal presence and influence<\/em>. They usually attribute this experience to certain people or external powers that affect them through telepathic, paranormal or magical forces. They mainly report physical sensations (e. g. energy flows, pain, exhaustion), feelings and moods that are alien to them, intuitions or hearing inner voices.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h6″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Coincidence phenomena”][vc_column_text]… concern exceptional connections between inner experiences and external events. For example, clients describe extrasensory perceptions<\/em> of the inner states of other people (telepathy) or events in the past (retrocognition), present (clairvoyance) or future (precognition, dreams of the future). There are also frequent reports of meaningful coincidences<\/em> in which oracle techniques (e.g. tarot, pendulum) make accurate statements, certain events are experienced as fateful, or accumulations of similar events (e.g. occurrence of a number, misfortunes) appear not by chance but as signs and messages from a higher order.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h6″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Dissociation phenomena”][vc_column_text]… involve exceptional physical phenomena and a loss of control over one’s own body. This can, for example, take the form of mediumship and automatism<\/em> in which uncontrolled movement and action impulses (e. g. automatic writing, glossolalia) occur that are experienced as externally determined. Conversely, particularly in states close to sleep and on awakening, phenomena are experienced that are described as nightmare and sleep paralysis<\/em> and are accompanied by an inability to move, often accompanied by tactile sensations (nightmares), as well as external phenomena (apparitions, invisible presence).[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752217043996{padding-right: 80px !important;}”]ExE usually occur spontaneously<\/em>, i. e. unexpectedly and without a recognizable cause. However, they can also be induced by techniques such as automatic writing or meditative practices. There are also ExE, which occur after contact with healers, mediums, clairvoyants or as a result of using offers from the esoteric scene.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Research projects:<\/p>\n
