Daniel Holbach, born 1979, in Berlin since 2005. Important to me, apart
from my own personal process, were my travels to India, the Middle East
and South America, my yoga practice and many different ways of
self-exploration.
Professionally I started out as a software engineer, from there I quickly
turned to processes and concerns of teams and projects - especially working
with volunteers in Open Source communities. I do know the fast-paced
working life quite well. In my sabbatical 2017 I became Heilpraktiker
für Psychotherapie.
As you can easily see from my own development, I firmly believe in second
chances in life. I believe our inner wisdom shows us the way and that we
can learn more and more to trust our vitality and our bodies.
Why did I become a therapist and why is this work a matter so close to
my heart?
For years I was deeply unhappy myself, I lived relationships in
ever-repeating loops I did not comprehend. In my core I felt wrong,
foreign or insecure a lot of the time. I experienced hollow bleakness and
did not see opportunities for change. I thought more than I felt and did
not understand urgent impulses of my body. It required crisis on multiple
levels and the encouragement of people close to me, for me to finally embark
on this voyage. It has led me ever closer to myself and to becoming the
person I actually am.
In the midst of my own process I realised how much the work had already
changed and inspired me. In 2016 I decided to become a therapist myself
and support people on their personal path.
