Many of my clients wish to be more anchored in the here and now. They feel they are too preoccupied with their past or their future.

Because they are so stuck mentally in yesterday or tomorrow, they are not really able to consciously perceive and enjoy their present. Some struggle to find solutions to the simplest of problems. The fear of possibly making the wrong choice paralyzes them.

Behind such a “compulsion to ponder”, this endless circling around past or future mistakes, there is often a particularly great need for security.

Psychologist Stefanie Stahl explains why it’s worth coming back to the present – and how you can give yourself a feeling of security.
