PEP® (Process- and Embodiment-Focused Psychology) is a psychotherapeutic method that intentionally connects the body and emotions. It was developed to work effectively with emotional processes while strengthening clients’ sense of self-efficacy.

A method is only used sustainably when it is experienced as enjoyable, enhances one’s sense of self-efficacy, offers a clear and transparent structure, and proves to be effective quickly. This is exactly what defines PEP®: working with emotions in a light, confident, and often humorous way, while simultaneously honoring and respecting individual suffering.

Emotions are inseparably linked to bodily sensations. It therefore makes sense to deliberately involve the body in the transformation of para- or dysfunctional emotional states. Numerous scientific studies show that tapping techniques can be effective in the treatment of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PEP® belongs to the group of bifocal, multisensory intervention techniques, similar to EMDR, EMI, Brainspotting, or OEI. At the same time, it is the result of a consistent, process-oriented further development of classical tapping techniques such as EFT, TFT, or EDxTM.

One thing is clear, however: tapping alone is not enough.

This is why PEP® combines different psychotherapeutic approaches from psychodynamic therapy, systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and hypnotherapy. In this way, PEP® activates not only the self-efficacy of clients, but also that of practitioners. The method can be seamlessly integrated into psychotherapy, coaching, stress medicine, basic psychosomatic care, and trauma therapy.

PEP® individual training offers personalized support for people who wish to work specifically with their emotional challenges. In a protected one-on-one setting, personal topics can be explored in depth and PEP® techniques applied accordingly.

Sessions are also available online via Zoom - a flexible option for those who do not live in Munich or who prefer to work in the comfort of their own familiar environment.
