# Impulses

For moments of pause, reflection and reorientation.

## Information. Thoughts. Observations. Perspectives.

What moves me also inspires my work. Here, I share information, questions, ideas, and insights that encourage further reflection - for anyone who wants to understand what shapes my coaching or delve deeper into specific topics.

### Identity and our concept of the “True Self”

Identity is a field of tension—and the “true self” is one of its most powerful concepts.

For some, identity is liberation, self-empowerment, a homecoming to oneself. For others, it is a construct, an attribution, a political tool.

Between these poles, one notion persists:
Beneath all our adaptations lies a “true self” that simply needs to be uncovered.

But what if identity is neither a hidden core nor a mere construct—but rather something that takes shape through the body?

This article approaches this question not through ideologies, but through the body.

### Systemic & integral – what does that actually mean in coaching?

Many problems seem to be personal - but they actually arise within relationships, roles, and systems. A systemic-integral approach looks not only at you, but also at the contexts in which you operate.

Read here to learn why this is often more relieving than any motivational strategy - and why change has more to do with clarity than with self-optimization.

### Polyvagal Theory in a Nutshell

Change is not purely a cognitive process. It also requires a nervous system that can flexibly switch between arousal, rest, and connection. The polyvagal theory helps us understand these dynamics—and consciously work with them.
