I have never felt so understood in my life as I did in the workshop. The work was very intense. In some exercises I was too slow and would have needed more time. But then I let them know and was able to take more time. I felt I was in the best hands. I have identified the source of my suffering and what I can do to get better and what I need. Above all, I was able to loosen the belief that I have to make my parents happy, and in order to do that, I don't do what suits me. At least I can do that now and then. I now only put cream on my skin in the worst places where I scratch myself daily (hands and feet). The skin on the rest of the body has become soft and healthy in some places. In other places, it is always very dry.

I felt very comfortable in the workshop from beginning to end. I was shown a lot of understanding both by Kathrin and my group, which is why it was very easy for me to open up and talk about myself and my feelings. I learned a lot of new things about myself and my beliefs. I was especially touched by the fact that during the meditation work with Kathrin something came up that had already affected me emotionally in the womb. Later, my mother even confirmed this to me. This showed me how long and how deeply certain convictions have been anchored in me. The workshop was already 1 year ago and a lot has changed since then. I am much more aware of why I do things and that I am free to choose at any time and I have the responsibility to make myself happy. I can stand by myself better and keep my boundaries. I recognize more quickly when old thought patterns catch up with me again and can consciously steer against them. My skin actually continued to get worse in the beginning, and when I started to consciously engage in positive thoughts and beliefs it was pure stress on my body and everything inside me resisted it. For a few months it has been continuously getting worse. I did not give up and continued to work diligently on myself. When I finally changed some things on the outside, listened to myself and stood by myself, took some time off, my skin also started to calm down slowly. After a year I can say that my skin is no longer a comparison to before. All weeping red inflamed areas are almost gone. I still have some rough, scaly patches that pop up sometimes more, sometimes less, reminding me to keep going and not give up. I went into the workshop with somewhat false expectations: I had hoped that everything would be fine immediately after the workshop. If I just do everything perfectly as Kathrin says, I will get well again and can then continue as before. In the meantime, I know that this "miracle pill" does not exist, instead it is a process. That I have to be willing to change my whole life permanently to be happy and healthy. Time has taught me that and I am very grateful for it. I am grateful to you, Kathrin, from the bottom of my heart for being the first one to shake me up a bit and show me that many things in my life are not as perfect as I thought. That I can achieve true freedom within. Now I know that neurodermatitis was my wake-up call to comprehend that the way I have been living until now is absolutely not good for me. I have to change my priorities completely, learn what self-love means and how important I am. Getting healthy means changing and letting go of all the beliefs and lifestyle habits that have made you sick.

I have wanted to learn to draw clear conclusions from situations that stress or trigger me and grasp their impact on my current skin condition. I was taught the tools for this in the workshop. Knowing that neurodermatitis is curable also helps me not to slip into the "victim role". During the workshop, I noticed several times that during the discussions Kathrin steered the focus away from the skin problems to the actual problems - an approach which I try to integrate into my everyday life. As a result, I give the skin disease much less power over my own condition, which in a way strengthens and calms me. I found the workshop days to be well structured and thought out. As a newcomer to therapy, I found it difficult at first to talk about private things, even in front of the other participants. But I also quickly gained trust in Kathrin via the digital channel (Skype) as well as in the other two participants. When we defined our subconscious beliefs and prepared to change them, the participation of the other participants was also a gain, because I found myself again and again in their ways of thinking. The use of this key tool was practiced in the workshop and methods for dealing with everyday life were suggested. Kathrin gave things a push that I hadn't thought of myself, but also accepted when I couldn't identify with suggestions of hers. I found Kathrin's interaction with us to be professional, emphatic, and humorous, without overstepping the necessary distance through exuberant cordiality. In the meantime, I have begun to recognize better and faster when negative beliefs or my anxious inner child are active. I then try to quickly change these negative beliefs into positive ones. I think that I can't really relate to some situations yet. This still requires some practice. Some situations I can assign but apparently not yet so well resolve. Apparently, I then still have to express this over my skin. I have not had completely symptom-free periods since the workshop. The flare-ups are severe, but subside more quickly than before and the itching is less. Considering how much money I've saved since reading Kathrin's book and attending the workshop by not using skincare creams, the workshop and the book are great value for money.

I felt well taken care of from the beginning and had no problem at all opening up due to Kathrin's empathetic manner. She is a very understanding and empathetic therapist who also has a sense of humor. It's so good to be able to laugh heartily once in a while! The workshop was very well structured: the ratio of work, individual work, and rest phases was ideal for me to reflect on the new insights in peace and quiet and to feel inside myself again. Our group consisted of only two participants, which meant that our workshop was very intense and in-depth. Kathrin opened up the two-way conversation (she with one of us) at the right points, so that the respective listener was also involved and could take away a lot for herself. I realized that I was carrying around some unprocessed issues. Although I already had 2 therapies, there were a few surprises for me in the workshop: suddenly old pain came up which we were able to look at together, with a loving look and great respect. I have realized what my role in the family of origin was/is and what I have taken over into my own life. In retrospect, I have discovered many behavioral patterns in my everyday life that have been engraved since childhood, and I am continuing to get to know myself better: in which situations do I lose the connection to myself and slip into the outside world, cut off the connection to myself, become determined by the duties and expectations of others? This remains interesting and enlightening. To stop putting cream on my skin felt like hell to me in the beginning. In the first week all the areas I ever had eczema on broke out again. I was very restless and had trouble getting to sleep. Fortunately, Kathrin was still available and encouraged me. It was just good to know that I could turn to her at any time. Already after one week I could sleep well again and the inflammation subsided. First, the skin was still very dry and scaly and in some places still open and inflamed. But I felt that slowly something truly recovered and that I healed from the inside out and since half a year I and the skin have been dazzling. My skin was always particularly bad around Christmas. This year all is well! This is a wonderfully liberating feeling, because I no longer feel at the mercy of others, but remain relaxed and do what is right for me. I have really learned a lot and the "spectre" of neurodermatitis has lost its terror. I now understand the direct connection! The price-performance ratio is absolutely great! I have never had so many insights in a condensed form!

After the workshop, I could experience how my skin healed again. I had not had this experience for years. During the months since the workshop, the skin condition has been very stable. This feels great. I received confirmation in the workshop that I am in control of my self-healing. The exercises for this have once again given me a completely new perspective and I have felt how powerful my beliefs are. Kathrin's feedback was to the point and helped me a lot. I felt very comfortable in the group.

I found the workshop very exciting and eye-opening. I felt as if - with the loving and perceptive support of Kathrin and the second workshop participant - one was doing some spring cleaning in one's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I have the feeling that since then I can see more clearly what is going on inside me. I found the atmosphere during the workshop to be very warm and pleasant, yet focused. It was a good environment to open up. I was worried in advance that the topic would be treated rather superficially because of the few hours and that information would merely be provided, but this concern was really unfounded. It was really a work(!)store where we could learn a lot about ourselves. I realized that my skin is actually healthy, but that it carries things to the outside that can be accepted and resolved on the inside or communicated in ways other than through the skin. I also realized that many of my stressful thoughts, fears, and actions originated in beliefs that I didn't even know existed before the workshop. But I have also learned that it is possible to transform these beliefs - into beliefs that give me courage, confidence, warmth, and strength. Thanks to the knowledge about these beliefs, it is easier for me to find a certain distance and to remember my positive beliefs that we worked out together in the workshop. Thanks to the workshop, I now have tools with which to confront inner situations so that everything no longer has to be played out through the skin. That's why I don't feel so helpless now when my skin starts itching again. Right before the workshop, my skin was pretty good. But I still remember well the winter before, when I was constantly inflamed, especially on the neck, arms, and knees, and in the morning I was all white from the dry skin and in the evening had regular scratching attacks. Slowly and very unobtrusively from day to day, after the workshop, the skin became soft again and without inflammation. Since then (three months later) my skin has remained like this. Three times at intervals of one month each, the skin has worsened again, but only for about a week and only on the neck. Only on the neck my skin is still a little rough and sensitive. I don't apply cream here because I noticed that it then starts to itch a lot again. I feel so free in my skin, as I was not able to very often in my life until now - especially without cortisone. I don't feel my skin when I move and especially now in the summer when I sweat, only my neck itches a little. I can go out of the house without taking three different creams with me and generally think a lot less about my skin. What is worked out in the workshop continues to work in you for a long time and you can apply what you have learned throughout your life. Personally, the workshop helped me a lot, not only with the neurodermatitis, but with everything.
