Alexander Holike

For over three years, I have been helping people and teams to discover and develop their own strength. In doing so, I draw not only on my personal life experience, but also on my experience in systemic and trauma therapy methods. I am particularly inspired by the Hakomi method, supplemented by energetic work according to Rainer Strücker as well as shamanic approaches. My approach is always resource- and body-oriented. I support my clients in recognizing their existing strengths and potential and using them in a targeted manner. This combination enables me to respond individually to my clients' needs and strengthen them on their path.

Somatic work refers to approaches that involve the body as a central component of healing and development processes. The term “somatic” is derived from the Greek word “soma”, which means “body”. In coaching and therapy, somatic work is used to utilize physical sensations, movements and postures as a key to working through emotional, mental and even spiritual issues.

At its core, somatic work is based on the realization that body and mind are inextricably linked. Emotional experiences and traumatic events are not only stored in the brain, but also in the body. These somatic patterns can manifest themselves in the form of tension, posture patterns or unconscious movements. The aim of somatic work is to consciously perceive and transform these patterns in order to enable greater freedom and well-being.

Various methods are used in somatic work, including body awareness, movement and posture and breath work.

Somatic work is often used in coaching to promote self-confidence, presence and emotional resilience. Managers and clients who want to improve their communication skills or stress resistance benefit from a better understanding of their body language and somatic reactions.

Somatic work offers a unique approach that incorporates the body as a valuable resource in coaching and therapy. It helps people to develop not only mentally, but also physically and emotionally. In a world that is often dominated by cognitive approaches, it is a powerful way to achieve profound and holistic change.

Energetic work is a holistic approach that focuses on the subtle energies of the body and their influence on emotional, mental and physical well-being. It is based on the assumption that the human being consists not only of a physical body, but also of an energy field that serves as the basis for health and well-being. In the context of coaching and therapy, energetic work is used to release blockages in the energy flow, create inner balance and promote personal development.

It is assumed that energy flows through the body and the entire energy system. This flow can be disrupted by stress, trauma, negative emotions or unconscious patterns. Blockages in the energy system can manifest themselves in various ways, for example through physical tension, emotional imbalances or the feeling of being “stuck”. The aim of energetic work is to recognize these blockages and restore the flow of energy to enable self-healing and personal growth.

This is used in therapy and coaching to overcome emotional and mental challenges. It is particularly suitable for relieving stress, reducing anxiety, boosting self-confidence and releasing deep-rooted blockages. In coaching, it is often used to promote the connection to one's own intuition, to create clarity in decision-making processes and to strengthen personal resilience. In therapeutic work, it can help to process trauma, support emotional healing and increase general well-being.

A key advantage lies in its holistic approach. It looks at the person as a whole - body, mind and soul - and offers approaches that can work on all levels. Many clients report an increased sense of inner peace, improved self-awareness and deeper access to their emotions. Energetic work can also be a valuable addition to other therapeutic and coaching methods, as it often brings about subtle but lasting changes.

“Being in contact” describes the state in which people are authentic, present and connected with themselves and others. This term is central to coaching and therapy, as it forms the basis for trust, connection and personal development. Being in touch means being consciously aware of oneself - physically, emotionally and mentally - and at the same time being open to connecting with others. This ability plays a decisive role in the feeling of security, the quality of relationships and the development of bonds.

When people are in contact with themselves, they can perceive and express their needs, feelings and boundaries more clearly. This promotes self-confidence and emotional regulation. At the same time, contact with others enables them to develop empathy and understanding, which is the basis for healthy relationships. A lack of contact - whether with oneself or with others - can lead to isolation, insecurity or emotional dysregulation.

In a therapeutic and coaching context, “being in touch” is a key to transformation. A client who connects with their emotions and inner processes is better able to recognize and change unconscious patterns. Contact between client and coach or therapist also facilitates a trusting relationship, which is essential for the success of our work together.

Work is often done to improve contact with oneself and others. Many clients have difficulties perceiving themselves and their emotions due to traumatic experiences, stress or social pressure. They feel cut off or overwhelmed. Through techniques such as mindfulness exercises, somatic work or conversations, they learn to be present again and establish authentic contact.

Safety is a basic need that is strengthened through contact. In a therapeutic or coaching relationship, safety arises when the client feels that they are seen, heard and accepted. This secure basis makes it possible to deal with difficult issues, show vulnerability and explore new paths. A coach or therapist who is present and empathic in contact offers a space in which healing and growth are possible.
