Together towards the best solution

Anxiety

Finally live without fear. Free yourself from anxiety and compulsions.

The first thing to know: you are not alone! Neither with your panic attacks, nor do you have to cope with your fears by yourself.

In general, fears are part of our lives. They are like protective companions that warn us in dangerous situations. Many people have known fears since early childhood, such as exam nerves or fear of the dark, and in later life fear of loneliness, illness or death.

Anxiety can be traced back to very stressful circumstances such as accidents, separations, losses, traumatic childhood experiences and much more.

When fear is experienced to the point of losing control or panic, the natural protective function becomes a burden. Depending on its extent, it can lead to severe complaints, psychological strain and illness.

It is assumed that up to 20% of the population, about one third of them women and one third men, are affected by phobic disorders (anxiety disorders). The feeling of fear becomes so central to life that a normal life is severely restricted in many areas.

Relationships

Happy in every relationship. Find support and stability in your partnership.

Ideally, family and partnership give us support and make us feel where we are "at home". In reality, keeping good relationships with family members and partners takes constant work. These relationships always mean developing further, redefining ourselves and pursuing new goals together. Because the solutions to problems are often not obvious at first glance, we at mutschmiede have specialised in this area. We are glad to help you!

Today there are many parenting styles and, with a changing model of society that often makes women full-time or at least working employees, less and less time. So that the wish for children and a career does not turn into a spiral of guilt and overload, it helps to take an outside view. The advisers of mutschmiede are glad to help you!

Diversity

In a diverse world, diversity is not just a buzzword but a decisive success factor. At mutschmiede we support companies and individuals in shaping diversity actively and using it as an opportunity. Our diversity coaching helps to break up unconscious thought patterns, strengthen intercultural skills and create an inclusive working environment.

Empowerment for managers

mutschmiede offers individual empowerment for every manager who wants to create a trusting, communicative working environment. Our aim is to enable leaders to inspire and support through empathy and clarity, and to promote the personal development of every team member and with it the shared success of the team.

Family

You cannot choose your family, but you can choose the help you get with its problems.

Money worries

Develop new perspectives and strategies to finally become debt-free.

But reality often looks quite different: many people have to make a living far below the average income. Money worries often plague the whole family and weigh on the children too. It often helps to talk to someone about it, to develop new perspectives or strategies!

How are financial plans drawn up and put into practice? Where is there help with financial shortfalls caused by illness, accidents or disasters? How can an unexpected insolvency (private or professional) be handled professionally? How do you get back on your feet after an economic crisis?

In emergencies, perception is often narrowed. A professional coach can widen the perspective again.

Conflict

Conflicts can be resolved. A neutral view helps to find a new approach.

Conflicts shape world events and politics, but also small groups, teams and individuals. Interpersonal and inner conflicts are often especially complex and are felt as a burden by those involved. Applying strategies for resolution and bringing about change is often very difficult.

A dispute easily leaves the factual level and leaves wounds on the personality. Yet respectful communication is the way out of conflict, and easier than you think.

The advisers of mutschmiede are glad to help you cope with conflict situations for the long term and support you in finding strategies for resolution!

Bullying

The workplace as the scene

Effects on performance and mind

Strategies out of the victim role

Rediscover your own strengths. Strategies for coping with bullying.

Once you sharpen your eye for the forms bullying takes, it quickly becomes clear: bullying is a serious problem with many faces. For example, a superior limits your chance to speak, colleagues constantly interrupt you, contact is refused through dismissive gestures and looks, rumours are spread, say that you are mentally ill, you get no tasks or constantly new ones that under- or overtax you, you are sexually harassed or ridiculed. Here too, the dose makes the poison. If such acts happen repeatedly or in clusters, they make people ill, almost 99 percent of those affected!

By some estimates, around 100,000 working people in Switzerland are affected by bullying. It is not only work performance that suffers: demotivation, distrust, social withdrawal, nervousness, self-doubt and difficulty concentrating are only the tip of the iceberg. Not to mention that bullying at work usually overshadows private life considerably too. Those affected should seek legal and psychological advice at once!

One possible way out is to become active. The first step is to inform yourself thoroughly, because incidents often judged harmless then appear in a different light. Documenting what happens around you in a so-called bullying diary helps with the assessment. Stay as objective as possible and make sure you have balance in your free time. Now at the latest, also think about professional alternatives. Even if in the worst case only your successor benefits, you have at least drawn attention to abuses that have long ceased to be a trivial offence. And you have withdrawn yourself from a harmful environment: a wise decision!

Personality

Decisions and professional development

Self-worth and self-confidence

You are valuable and unique. Discover the love for yourself.

Decisions change our lives. We often ask how best to weigh risks and which signs tell us we are on the right path. That means knowing many influencing factors, and above all knowing ourselves, our own goals and also our limits. Conversations with the advisers of mutschmiede help you with this!

Everyone has goals and values that they have to change and revise over the course of their life. What matters is not to stand still and to be at peace with yourself. That is how personal development can make you happy!

It is a challenge: to keep developing without overtaxing yourself. Set realistic goals that strengthen self-worth and raise self-confidence without overwhelming you! We at mutschmiede help you with your positive development.

The challenges of everyday life demand more and more personal responsibility from each individual. Strengthening resilience, developing resources, improving communication, dealing with crises and conflicts, encouragement and enablement are skills that can be strengthened with professional support.

Care

You take on the tasks that contribute to the well-being and recovery of a relative or person in need of care. We are glad to support you!

From birth to the deathbed, care plays a central role in every phase of human life. Professional carers shape their work so that the person in need of help can lead a life in dignity that is as self-determined and independent as possible. Individual needs are taken into account as far as possible. Support should aim to restore or preserve the physical, psychological and cognitive resources of the person in need of care wherever possible. That takes a great deal of knowledge, experience, foresight, composure and communication, but also empathy and commitment. The experts of mutschmiede are there for you in this.

School and studies

Raise performance in intensive learning phases and assess your abilities realistically.

Sexuality

Overcoming taboos? Sexual fulfilment as a goal? We support you in this.

Stress

Too much stress makes you seriously ill. An outside view helps with stress management.

Addiction

Dealing with addiction and finding the way back to a normal life takes help!

Grief

We help you through the difficult time of loss and grief.

Grief lasts a while, but those who live through it consciously come out of it stronger.

Grief has many faces and everyone grieves differently. Time changes the feelings too. The year of mourning shows that you have to live through every anniversary once to see that, despite the loss, you can and may go on living well.

When a pet dies you may grieve too, because this living being was very close to you. Many do not understand that, but our team accompanies you on these occasions as well.

More than on other occasions, such conversations are different from those with your best friend, at the regulars' table or at the hairdresser. Allow yourself professional help, and the difference makes the difference.

Separation

Letting go for a new beginning. Ways to reorient yourself after a partnership.

You always read how many marriages end in divorce and separation, but reading about it has nothing to do with living through it, whether as the betrayed, abandoned or disappointed partner or as a child. All the more important to have competent people to talk to in this difficult situation.

The media are full of it: custody disputes. It is not at all easy to keep track of where rights and duties begin and where they end. The well-being of everyone involved should be at the centre, but do not forget yourself! To keep track you need to know the legal framework, or know who can help with questions and problems on this subject!

Loneliness is a word we know in connection with old people. But loneliness can strike anyone. Often it is missing friends or changing circumstances that people believe they cannot cope with alone.

Letting go, separating and finding the courage for a new start takes time and strength. It is good to know a competent coach is at your side, whom you can turn to when needed.
