Everyone knows emotions like joy, disappointment and fear. But which functions do our basic emotions have and which ones can we not recognize?
Understanding the connection between feelings and needs is not that easy. Emotions arise when certain needs are met or not met. Sharing feelings, in turn, can strengthen and deepen relationships, it helps to better understand others, including ourselves. Your own openness shows the other person that it is okay to show feelings. This creates trust and respect. Recognizing one’s own needs also means being aware of one’s basic assumptions and being mindful of oneself and one’s environment. Psychological compass helps to walk this path to more self-care and serenity together.
Emotional Healthiness
—Self Care & Needs
We all know fears and worries. In addition to concrete existential fears, fears about the future and fears in social situations, there are also abstract, diffuse worries and ruminations.
As part of the Psychological Compass consultation, coping strategies are developed together in order to reduce your tension, lower your physical stress reaction, feel your perception in a targeted manner and describe it carefully. Here it is important to experience that you can influence a stress reaction, which can increase self-efficacy and the feeling of being in control.
Communication and conflict resolution
Communication – in other words: transmission, imparting, conveying, reporting, presenting. As we understand the depth of our own nature, we learn to recognize the true motivations and complexities in others as well. Communication is a Latin word which means ‚to share‘. It is the sharing of information between different individuals. It includes the sharing of ideas, concepts, imaginations, behaviors and written content. It’s simply defined as the transfer of information from one place to another. This information can be conducted in different ways.( encoding) the process of the decoding means how the message is interpreted. With different languages, believes, experiences, mindsets, values and interests this can get very tricky. Especially when additionally dealing with non verbal communication. When communicating with others, we often focus on what we should say.
However, effective communication is less about talking and more about listening.
Effective communication is about more than just exchanging information. It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.
A guided interpretation to connect with your mind and emotional awareness.

discovering your individual ‘healing tools‘
You can discover your individual ‘healing tools‘ to loosen and unravel your emotional knots and the self-defeating patterns they reinforce. Fear, anger, shame, judgment, anxiety, arrogance, and so on, set you off-center and tighten your inner emotional knots because they constrict your energy. You can loosen them with conscious breathing techniques and therapeutic yoga, which improves the communication between the inside and the outside.
Our body, mind, and spirit encompasses all the tools to resolve psychological and therefore also physical problems, if we can put our unique puzzle together, authentically.
Communicating better
Through better communication with ourselves and others, with a better inner (and outer) understanding, we can take the responsibility for ourselves and our actions.
Understanding your natural compass of emotional responses.
We have 4 major functions:
- thinking refers to the process of cognitive thought;
- sensation is a perception by means of the physical sense organs;
- feeling is the function of subjective judgment or valuation;
- intuition refers to perception via the unconscious.
For a complete orientation, all four functions should contribute equally.
Thinking should facilitate cognition and judgment, feeling should tell us how and to what extent something is important or unimportant for us, sensation should convey concrete reality to us through seeing, hearing, tasting, etc. Intuition should enable us to divine the hidden possibilities in the background since these too belong to the complete picture of a given situation.
Those, however, are no real guidance, if they are distorted.
We are a source of both – our creative and destructive energies.

That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.
