Gaining New Strength:
Breaking Free from Powerlessness


Regaining trust and inner strength & actively shaping your changed life

What this is about

Key questions in coaching

  • How can I rebuild my trust in myself and in life?
  • What small steps can I take – even while grieving?
  • What can I influence and shape, what do I need to accept?
  • What strengths and resources do I still have, and what new ones may have emerged?

Maybe some of these thoughts sound familiar?

  • “Everything feels beyond my control. I’m just reacting to life instead of actively living it.”
  • “Everyone says life goes on. But my world has come to a standstill. I feel paralyzed.”
  • “I want to get back that sense that I can have some impact on my life – maybe not control everything, but at least influence something.”

If these thoughts feel familiar, this might be a good place to begin as we start working together.

After a profound loss, it often takes time to rediscover trust and inner strength. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you gently explore what supports you so that you can feel solid ground beneath your feet again. Step by step, you’ll beginn to shape life as it is now — at a pace and in a way that feels right for you.

Core goals of coaching

  • You no longer feel like a helpless victim of what life throws at you.
  • Instead, you can feel your own strength returning and clearly recognize what’s within your control and what isn’t.
  • You’re ‘back on your feet’ and making intentional decisions about your life – both everyday choices and bigger ones.
  • Through this, you discover that you’re not completely powerless after all – you really can create change.
  • That overwhelming sense of helplessness has been replaced by a calm trust in your own capacity to navigate life’s challenges.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through. […] But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.”

Haruki Murakami
