Hi all, I am hosting one more workshop on a defensive mechanism: projections. Find the description below. It is already tomorrow; do join if that sounds interesting! :)

Projections: Discovering Ourselves in Others

Ever caught yourself getting defensive, avoiding something, or reacting stronger than you expected?

We invite you to join us for an evening of exploration into one of the most fascinating aspects of human psychology: projection.

Projection is a common defense mechanism through which we unconsciously attribute our own feelings, thoughts, wishes, or qualities to other people. It shapes how we perceive others, influences our relationships, and often reveals something important about ourselves.

During this interactive workshop, we will explore projection from a Gestalt perspective, combining theory, self-reflection, and experiential exercises. Together, we will learn how to recognize projections in everyday life, become more aware of our own patterns, and discover how greater self-awareness can lead to more authentic contact with ourselves and others.

Whether you are curious about personal growth, relationships, or psychology, this evening offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself and the people around you.

The event is free; just a registration is needed:

Last Friday, Kia Karrebæk and I facilitated a one-day workshop on feedback.

It was a pleasure working with such a brave, open, and curious group of participants. They truly dared to explore and put our feedback framework into practice.

Giving honest feedback is not always easy, but having a clear structure and practicing together really helps.

A big thank you to all the participants for making it such a powerful and rewarding day

Dear all, I am hosting a workshop next week on Tuesday, April 28!

Getting to Know Your Ego: Who is really in charge?
Ever caught yourself getting defensive, avoiding something, or reacting stronger than you expected? That might be your ego at work.

This workshop is an invitation to explore that — together.

We’ll look at:

What ego is,
How it operates beneath the surface,
How awareness can gently shift things.
What to expect: A mix of exercises, small group sharing, and open conversations.
No experience needed. All welcome. 💛

Time
Kl. 17:30 – 20:00

Place

I look forward to seeing you! 🤗

How do you feel when you need to give honest feedback?
🫥 Uneasy?
😟 Nervous?
😵‍💫 Stressed?
You’re not alone.

For many of us, giving feedback can feel like a threat — to our relationships, to trust, to how we’re perceived. Our brains can react as if we’re facing a personal attack.

So we often avoid giving feedback, or… soften it… or delay it.

And yet — honest, constructive feedback is one of the most powerful tools we have.
📈 It drives growth.
🤗 It strengthens relationships.
💯 It builds high-performing teams.

So how do you get better at it?

Join Kia Karrebæk and me for a full-day, hands-on workshop where you'll leave with practical frameworks, real practice, and a personal action plan — not just theory.

Last-minute invitation to join my workshop today about SELF-LOVE:

Valentine’s Day has passed — but what about the most important relationship of all?
The relationship with yourself is the only one that lasts a lifetime. And yet, it can also be the most complicated. Many of us are our own harshest critics, holding ourselves to standards we would never place on others.

On the 3rd of March, I will be hosting a Self-Love Workshop.

In this workshop, we will explore:
🤔 Why our relationship with ourselves can feel complicated or even turbulent
😠 How self-criticism develops and how it impacts our well-being
🤗 Practical ways we can become a supportive, compassionate presence for ourselves

Join me and others for an informative evening in a safe, supportive place where you will have an opportunity to learn, share, discuss, and explore

Why is it so hard to ask for help?

A couple of months ago, I was hosting a workshop on this topic and I wanted to share the highlights from it.

Asking for help is difficult for so many people.
Not because we don’t need support—but because we often choose to struggle alone rather than reach out, reveal vulnerability, or admit that we could use someone to talk to.
Ironically, this doesn’t make us stronger.
It often leaves us more isolated and more vulnerable.

So why is it so hard to reach out?
There are many reasons. Here are a few I see often:

• Early experiences and attachment patterns.
Our relationship with help begins in childhood. If our needs were ignored, dismissed, or met with shame, we may have learned—consciously or unconsciously—that asking leads to rejection or disappointment. As adults, even a small request for support can activate old feelings of vulnerability and unmet needs.

• Beliefs about weakness and self-reliance.
Many of us carry beliefs that asking for help means we are weak, incapable, or a burden. These beliefs are often shaped by cultural and social norms that value independence and self-sufficiency, sometimes at the cost of connection and well-being.

• Fear of vulnerability.
Reaching out can feel awkward, exposing, and out of control—especially if we’re not used to it. Letting someone see us struggle can feel riskier than staying silent.

Why asking for help actually matters

• Reaching out doesn’t make you weak—it does the opposite.
• It reduces isolation. Carrying everything alone can create a quiet loneliness, even when we appear strong on the outside.
• It supports emotional regulation. Our nervous system settles through safe connection. From a neurobiological perspective, asking for help is not weakness—it’s wisdom.
• It builds resilience. Resilience doesn’t come from doing everything alone; it comes from knowing when and how to lean on others.
• It softens internalized shame. Each time we ask for help and are met with understanding, we learn that it is safe to lean—and that we are not too much.

How to start asking for help
• Start small—one manageable request
• Don’t overthink it; just reach out
• Remind yourself that asking builds trust and strengthens relationships
• Your openness may even give others permission to do the same
If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, or depressed, you are always welcome to reach out to me.

Reach out if you want to start therapy. I am seeing clients in Copenhagen and online :)

December is often portrayed as a month filled with joy, Christmas spirit, and coziness. Yet for many, this time of year also brings up more complex feelings — loneliness, pressure, expectations, stress, and emotional overwhelm. These experiences are real, but rarely spoken about.

Tomorrow, I am hosting a workshop to explore some of those complex feelings that arrive while waiting for Christmas. Together, we’ll prepare to meet Christmas with more self-acceptance, compassion, and inner peace.

Join us for an insightful workshop where we will:
Explore the mixed emotions that arise during the holiday season
Engage in meaningful discussions in a supportive, judgment-free space
Practise how to hold space for ourselves with compassion

Asking for Help: Why It’s So Difficult — and Why It Matters

We all need help sometimes, yet so often we choose to bite our lips and push through instead of reaching out.

We have difficult feelings at times, sadness, confusion, or self-doubt, you name it — but rather than seeking support, we often hide and wait for the feelings to “pass”.

- Why is it so hard for many of us to ask for help?
- And why is it such an important skill to practise?

On Tuesday, 21st at 17:00, I am hosting a workshop to explore those questions.

Join us for an insightful and interactive workshop where we will:
🍁Explore the emotional and psychological reasons behind our struggle to reach out
🍁Engage in meaningful discussions in a supportive, judgment-free space
🍁Learn why asking for help is not weakness, but an act of connection and self-care

This workshop is open to everyone — whether you find it hard to ask for help yourself, or simply wish to understand this human challenge more deeply.
