Katharina Schuldner
I’m not leaving anymore.

I don’t need to make myself any more promises.
I don’t want to hold my inner child by the hand
and, at the same time, be the grown-up
who understands, supports, soothes it all.

I want to be fully here.
Not divided into soul parts and roles.
I want to live as one whole.
Not first tune in,
then reflect,
and only then decide how I show up.

I want to be.
Simply be.
In me.
With me.
As me.

And I know:
It’s possible.
Not because I learned it –
but because it’s who I am.

I’m not leaving anymore.
Not because I promise –
but because I’ve arrived.
In me.
In you.
In us.
As one.

Welcome at narzissmus.at!

Some people we meet by chance, some on purpose or some through fate…In these many ways we might also let male or female narcissists into our lives. These encounters and relationships can have devastating consequences: Insults and violence are only one form of narcissistic abuse. Are you, as a survivor of abuse, looking for help to alleviate your psychological, physical and emotional pain?

In my practice in Vienna, we will find out together what is most helpful for you in your situation and which working method suits you best.

I have developed a therapy program called EDEN, in which I follow a holistic approach. This approach allows me to guide survivors of narcissistic abuse to solve their issues themselves in a competent and independent manner. Additionally, patients will learn to love and care for themselves and for others.

I will pick up the patient where he/she stands – in a life that writes its own stories. Writing your own life story is liberating. I will support you on your way to freedom.

 

Be yourself.

From wounds to strength – towards new clarity and vitality

Many people find their way to me through the topic of narcissism – often in a vulnerable, challenging phase.
For many years I have accompanied people who have been affected by narcissistic relationship patterns – whether in partnership, family, or work.
I know how confusing and exhausting these experiences can be, and how difficult it is to find your way out.

My focus is on you:

  • Rediscovering your inner strength,

  • Stabilizing your self-worth,

  • Gaining clarity and orientation for your own path.

Because this work is demanding, I have deliberately narrowed my focus:
I offer psychotherapeutic support for the personal consequences of narcissistic dynamics (e.g. self-worth, trauma, identity).
I can only provide limited support in high-conflict divorce and custody cases. In such situations, I am happy to offer short-term stabilization; for longer-term guidance, I recommend seeking additional support.

Yet often, out of these experiences, new questions arise – questions that reach far beyond a single topic:

  • How do I stay with myself when everything looks fine – and I still feel sad?

  • How can I find spaces where listening matters more than answers?

  • How can I change without losing myself?

I increasingly explore such questions beyond traditional therapy – in formats that grow in the spaces between everyday life and depth.

Beyond this, I dedicate myself to themes of meaning, personal growth, and creative unfolding. Many of my clients come during transition phases – when old roles no longer fit and new ways are just emerging – looking for a companion to walk with them.

Walk and Talk, Beratung im Gehen Wien

Walk & Talk in Vienna – ideal for autumn!

Do anxiety, depression, relationship problems or dependency issues control your everyday life? Are conflicts in your job, at school or within your family causing you stress?

I will walk with you for a part of the way: While walking, it is easier to organise your thoughts and to find new solutions for problems. Coaching, advice and reflexion at “Walk & Talk”…

Network EDEN

I share my thoughts, projects, and small experiments on LinkedIn – about listening, in-between spaces, and the everyday experience of being human.
👉 [Here’s the link to my profile]

In the EDEN network on Facebook, you can connect with others – both helpers and those affected. I also support the creation of self-help groups through this forum, and warmly welcome your own initiatives.

Two books I can especially recommend are by C. Merzeder: “Wie schleichendes Gift” and “Gegengift”.

I look forward to connecting with you and sharing ideas.
