LECTURE - Polaritäten des Lebens im Spiegel des Symbols Labyrinth
Thursday July 17, 2025 14:00 - 14:30 CEST
Polaritäten des Lebens am Beispiel der Imagination „Labyrinth“ mit der Katathym Imaginativen Psychotherapie

Die Katathym Imaginative Psychotherapie macht sich das bildhafte Denken des Menschen bzw. die Fähigkeit zur Imagination zu Nutze, um dem Unbewussten auf die Spur zu kommen. Die Vorstellungswelt wird im hypnoiden Zustand durch Vorgabe symbolträchtiger Motive angeregt. Sie sind ein Leitgedanke, der den Einstieg in die imaginative Welt erleichtern soll, und stellen einen Kristallisationskern zur Anregung von Bildszenen dar. Die innere Bühne der Imaginationen bilden das ab, was „auf dem Herzen liegt“. Die Imaginationen sind ein Abbild bzw. Darstellung der innerseelischen Situation, der Konflikte, ihrer Abwehr, von Emotionen und Lösungen. Auf einer bildhaft symbolischen Ebene erfolgt eine Konfliktmobilisierung mit der Möglichkeit zur Konfliktbearbeitung und Konfliktlösung. Die gestalterische und verbale Nachbearbeitung der Imaginationen verhelfen zu einem Erkenntnisprozess.
Im Vortrag geben Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis Einblick in den Umgang mit dem symbolträchtigen Motiv „Labyrinth“, das als ein Symbol für die Reise in das eigene Innere verstanden werden kann.


Polarities of Life Using the Example of the “Labyrinth” Imagination in Guided Affective Imagery (GAI)

GAI makes use of the human capacity for visual thinking and imagination in order to trace the unconscious. In a hypnoid state, the world of imagination is stimulated through the introduction of symbolic motifs. These motifs serve as guiding ideas, intended to facilitate entry into the imaginative world, and act as crystallization points to stimulate the emergence of inner images.
The imaginative stage reflects core intrapsychic processes, functioning as a symbolic representation of the individual’s emotional state, internal conflicts, defensive operations, affective dynamics, and potential avenues for resolution. Within the symbolic-imaginal framework, conflict activation is facilitated, allowing for the mobilization, exploration, and transformation of unconscious material. The subsequent creative and verbal elaboration of the imagery serves to enhance ego functions, promote affect regulation, and foster processes of self-reflection and integration.
In the presentation, clinical case studies illustrate the therapeutic use of the labyrinth as a symbolic motif, conceptualized as a metaphor for the inward journey toward self-discovery and psychological integration.

LECTURE - Walk and talk psychotherapy in nature: Empirical foundations and clinical perspectives
Friday July 18, 2025 15:30 - 16:15 CEST
Introduction: There is growing evidence of the curative and preventive effects of nature, nature exposure and nature relatedness on health and well-being. Recent studies and reviews show that psychotherapy and counselling conducted in nature affects, for example, working alliance, clients’ and professionals’ mental and physical health, therapy motivation, eco-anxiety, pro-ecological behaviours. Still, overall empirical evidence is poor – especially in the context of clinical applications.
Methodology/Approach: The presentation provides insights into a randomized clinical study that compared walk and talk psychotherapy in nature with conventional psychotherapy indoors and in seated position. Participants were clinical patients suffering from major depressive disorders and their psychotherapists. We applied a mixed methods approach (quantitative measures and qualitative follow-up interviews) and assessed feasibility (primary outcome parameter) and mental and physical health (secondary outcome parameters) among participants.
Results/Findings: Results show that psychotherapists and patients estimate psychotherapy in nature as a valuable addition within the range of psychotherapy treatment. Walk and talk psychotherapy in nature affects the participating patients’ and psychotherapists’ health and well-being.
Conclusion/Perspective: Considering that pioneers of modern psychotherapy, such as Sigmund Freud, Hans Zulliger, C. G. Jung, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Viktor Frankl, had already conducted psychotherapy sessions while walking and/or in nature or highlighted the importance of nature in relation to human health, the lack of current research or concepts in this context is surprising. Nature-assisted approaches may also be a valuable psychotherapy contribution addressing the effects of global challenges (e.g., climate change/crises) on human mental health by focusing on the treatment of eco-anxiety or the promotion of pro-ecological behaviours. This presentation – and the accompanying clinical study – are intended to provide impulses for further theoretical, empirical and practical discussions on the topic.

LECTURE - Körpertherapeutische Verfahren mit Hyperventilation - ein Überblick
Friday July 18, 2025 16:30 - 18:00 CEST
Der Vortrag bezieht sich auf körpertherapeutische Verfahren, bei denen eine spezifische willentliche Verstärkung der Atmung (Hyperventilation) eingesetzt wird, um eine Erweiterung des Bewusstseins und Veränderung des subjektiven Selbsterlebens zu induzieren.

Seit Menschengedenken sind derartige Praktiken im Einsatz, um verschiedene Formen von psychischen Problemen zu lindern und persönliches Wachstum zu unterstützen. Klinische Beobachtungen und Daten aus neurophysiologischen Studien weisen darauf hin, dass körpertherapeutisch eingesetzte Hyperventilation mit tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen auf die Funktionen des zentralen und autonomen Nervensystems und damit auf den gesamten Organismus verbunden ist.

Ziel des Vortrags ist es, die positiven therapeutischen Wirkungen und Erfahrungen von körpertherapeutisch eingesetzter Hyperventilation (insbesondere des Holotropen Atmens) vorzustellen und die geschichtlichen, psychologischen und neurobiologischen Hintergründe darzulegen.

Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte:
•Geschichtlicher Überblick über verschiedene Praktiken mit Hyperventilation und deren Bedeutung in körpertherapeutischen Verfahren
•Darstellung charakteristischer phänomenologischer und neurophysiologischer Wirkungen
•therapeutische Wirkmechanismen, die für mögliche klinische Anwendungen (z.B. traumabedingte affektive und somatische Störungen) verantwortlich sind
•Erfahrungen und Ausblick für den Einsatz dieser Verfahren in der Psychotherapie
•Praktische Erfahrungen mit körpertherapeutisch eingesetzter Hyperventilation (am Beispiel des Holotropen Atmens)
