- Short Description:
- Watzlawick explores the “therapy of as if,” showing how behaving as if change is possible can shift a client’s reality. Drawing from philosophy, hypnotherapy, and paradox, he illustrates how small interventions—like self-fulfilling prophecies or shared metaphors—can break unhelpful cycles. Zerka Moreno adds insights from action-based methods, including role reversal and sociodrama, to deepen perspective and foster movement.

- Short Description:
- This panel looks at how creative homework assignments can extend therapy beyond the session. From movement and breathwork to exposure tasks and playful challenges, the therapists share ways to help clients try out new behaviors and shift stuck patterns. Whether it’s making a difficult phone call or practicing being rejected, the goal is to foster agency, insight, and change in everyday life. Moderated by Bernhard Trenkle, Dipl. Psych.

- Short Description:
- This conversation explores the therapeutic power of stories, metaphors, and analogies to foster understanding and change. Topics include paradoxical techniques—like a therapist claiming ineffectiveness to motivate a client—and the role of nonlinear causality and circular feedback in client dynamics. The session also examines working with eating disorders, engaging client worldviews (including religious beliefs), and reframing existential fears within diverse cultural contexts.
