M.Sc. Sylvia Johne | Psychotherapie & Gruppenanalyse
 

Many people know the feeling of being unsure, misunderstood, or alone in their relationships with others. In group analysis, you can discover that you are not alone with these experiences — and that change is possible.

​

Group analysis is especially helpful for people struggling with:

• Depression – when withdrawal and inner emptiness make life feel heavy

• Anxiety – especially social anxiety or the sense of not belonging

• Relationship difficulties – when conflicts, closeness, or trust repeatedly feel challenging

• Personality disorders – for example, when relationships are often experienced as painful or unstable

In the group, you can make new experiences: being understood, receiving honest feedback, allowing closeness — and step by step building more trust in yourself and others.

​

In an analytic group, people come together in a protected space to explore personal issues, interpersonal conflicts, and unconscious relationship patterns. Within the exchange of the group, one’s own behaviours, feelings, and dynamics become tangible – and can be reflected upon, understood, and transformed in the therapeutic process.

​

The group can be understood as a mirror for personal and social patterns. Participants learn how they act in relationships, how conflicts arise, and which unconscious mechanisms influence their behaviour. Through this experience, new ways of relating can be developed, fostering both personal and interpersonal growth.

​

For a practical impression, I recommend the YouTube series "Group." The series vividly illustrates how group dynamics, personal themes, and emotional movements become palpable in the setting – and how they can be worked through collectively.
