This text was written in 2021, on an old blog. Some thoughts are timeless, others may have evolved further—but today it can blossom here in my new magical home. --> to the original article (in German) I recently found myself in one of those conflicts that you don't see coming – and then suddenly everything boils over. You may be familiar with this: first a spark, then fireworks of emotions. After the initial storm had passed and I could breathe again, I came across a term th

The truth is—we all live inside stories. Psychologists call this personal logic : the private reasoning we build out of our own perceptions ( Wahrnehmung ) and interpretations ( Apperzeption ). To us, it feels like truth—solid, unquestionable reality. But in fact, it’s a personal story , filtered through our unique lens. That’s the catch: we don’t experience “reality” directly. We experience our version of it. And while that story can empower us, it can just as easily box us
