Relationship Crisis & Breakup
When the pain feels overwhelming – and the next step is unclear
You don’t have to go through this alone
A relationship crisis is one of the most painful experiences a person can face. The foundation your life was built on begins to shake – or crumble entirely. Sleepless nights, racing thoughts, swinging back and forth between hope and despair.
At the same time, a crisis is also a turning point. It signals that something essential needs attention – in the relationship, or within yourself. Sometimes both.
I support you through this phase: without rushed judgments, without advice that doesn’t fit your situation – and with genuine understanding of how complex these life situations can be.
Where are you right now?
In the middle of the crisis
The conflict keeps escalating. You feel misunderstood, exhausted, maybe helpless. You want things to change, but don’t know how. In this phase, I help you gain clarity – about your feelings, your needs, and the next meaningful step forward.
Facing a decision
Stay or go? This question can’t be answered rationally – yet it circles endlessly. I’m not here to help you make the “right” decision. But I can support you in hearing your own inner truth more clearly.
After the breakup
A separation is a loss – even when it was the right decision. Grief, anger, loneliness, perhaps relief – all of it is valid. I support you in processing this loss and stepping into a new chapter with greater strength.
Why we keep finding ourselves in similar situations
Many people notice after a painful breakup that they experience similar dynamics in their next relationship. This isn’t coincidence or bad luck. Our early attachment experiences unconsciously shape who we attract – and how we respond when closeness, conflict, or fear of loss gets triggered.
Without understanding and dissolving these patterns, we carry them into every new relationship. Working on yourself is therefore not just about managing pain – it’s an investment in all your future relationships, including the one you have with yourself.

— Johanna, ClientHow I support you
Sessions take place online via Zoom – in English or German, by appointment. You come on your own; couples sessions are not required. Some clients come once for clarity in an acute situation, others for a longer ongoing support process.
At the center is always your inner experience: What do you truly feel? What do you need? And what does your history have to do with it? Using techniques from trauma work and the Completion Process, we get to the roots quickly and gently – without years of analysis.
