When the solution lies not within, but in the space between
Finding spaces where resonance emerges - with oneself, others, and the world
Psychological Practice for Systemic Therapy and Counseling
1.
Systemic Counseling & Therapy
Individual psychological counseling and therapy in crises and phases of change and development. In cases of stressful conflicts and decision-making questions. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused and Schema Therapy
2.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
Cultivate the transformative potential of emotions in relationships, rediscover love and intimacy. Learn with EFT (Emotion-Focused Therapy) that vulnerability and intense emotions are not weaknesses, but rather enable the cultivation of emotional intelligence and co-regulation in partnerships.

MBSR Mindfulness Practice
Mindfulness is a fundamental principle of my work. I offer 8-week MBSR courses for groups and programs for organizations (corporate health management). Learn mindfulness and integrate it into everyday life and the workplace.

Focusing
The transformative language of the body, the implicit knowledge and effectiveness of inner images and (lived) aspects of personality. From the head – into the body – into change. Mindfulness-based therapy according to Prof. E. Gendlin.
Resonance Practice
Very few people seek therapy these days because they aren’t doing enough for themselves - A wealth of information, data, and biohacks makes it possible 24/7: to regulate, control, and optimize ourselves. Sometimes that feels more like “functioning” than living.
In a performance-oriented world, we learn early on to view things functionally: time becomes a resource. The body becomes a tool. Feelings become signals that must be regulated. Even personal relationships become a project. At the same time, we learn to embody socially acceptable roles: to be competent. To appear confident. To stay strong. While therapeutic discourse constantly calls for more authenticity or “mindfulness.” These contradictory patterns are deeply rooted in late-modern cultures.
Systemic therapy begins here, directly with concrete experience. It asks not only: “What are you experiencing?” and “How can you deal with it?”
But also: “What does this experience mean to you?”, “How do you relate to it?”, and “In what dynamics and contexts is this experience sustained?”
Human experience does not originate solely within. It occurs in living contact.
In this in-between space, something can emerge that cannot be manufactured: resonance. A living encounter and transformation in relation to oneself, to others, and to the world.
Integrated with empirically validated, emotion- and attachment-oriented approaches such as
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) make relationship patterns, dynamics, and blockages visible and transformable through co-regulation and co-creation.
Mindfulness-based approaches (Focusing, ACT, MBSR) complement this with a consistently experiential focus on bodily awareness and meaning. Together, they open up new avenues for action and options for choice.
Martin Schmid
Inspiration and encouragement for lived, embodied mindfulness and sustainably effective self-care.
With heart and mind. Calm in the eye of the storm.
Compass and canvas. Space of knowledge.
Hardly anyone voluntarily seeks out the "inner storm" – and yet it is often precisely there that the possibility for strength, integration and growth lies.
Working with inner images and movement. Reading and rewriting narratives. Living what is important. Inviting pauses, especially because it is not easy in the here and now.
Recognizing, understanding, interrupting, and changing patterns. Becoming whole.
A new perspective.
In principle: Surprise

Mindbody: Integrative Therapy
The concerns in counselling, therapy and coaching are diverse and like a mirror of our time. The challenging and stressful living conditions are never unthinkingly ignored in counseling and coaching, but integrated in terms of a movement towards more Mindfulness and an improved scope of action.
