Psychiatric Disorders

Am Dienstag beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Thema „**dazu gehören**“. Wir reflektieren, wann wir **Zugehörigkeit suchen** und wann wir uns bewusst **abgrenzen** – und wie sich auch ein selbstgewählter Rückzug manchmal trotzdem wie Ausgeschlossen-sein anfühlen kann. Dabei schauen wir auf prägende Erfahrungen aus Familie, Schule, Beruf oder anderen Gruppen und darauf, wie sie unser heutiges Verhältnis zu Zugehörigkeit beeinflussen. Wann identifizieren wir uns mit bestimmten Gruppen, wann verzichten wir darauf – beruflich, familiär, Im Freundeskreis, politisch oder religiös? Und welche Formen von Zugehörigkeit fühlen sich für uns heute stimmig an? Die Gruppe gibt es schon seit einigen Jahren, im Schnitt sind wir zu sechst bis acht. Fühle dich jederzeit herzlich willkommen, auch nur mal zum Schnuppern!

Do you have a life situation you would like to speak to someone one-on-one about? Each month, there's an opportunity for exactly that - in a confidential setting, with professsional support. The sessions are free, and you're welcome to make a donation if you like. ***On timing:*** *There are four, 45-minute slots on the event date. When you sign up, one of those will be reserved for you until they are full.* **ABOUT YOUR COUNSELLING SESSION** Because 'counselling' can mean different things to different people, it's perhaps useful to say that the counselling on offer here is not the same as, nor a substitute for therapy. Your counselling session is open for any topic you want to bring, and our time will be spent helping you identify your situation, explore your options, identify any resources that you already have that can help you, and brainstorm what your next steps might be. The work we will do focusses on your experience; you can bring along any topic that's important to you... * I'm not sure how to get the healthcare I need... * I'm not doing so well after a breakup... * My work is really stressing me out lately... * I'd like to somehow support my partner more... * I'm worried I might slip into a winter depression... * I'd like to feel more at home in my masculinity... Literally anything can be(come) our starting point. **ABOUT ME** My name is Hans. I've been co-facilitating the Berlin Men's Group since 2021. I'm also a member of the Berlin Men's Group partner project Zigmal - zigmal.org. That organisation was set up to support men's individual needs, and these sessions are part of that. I'm a certified systemic trauma counsellor specialised in men's work, and am a licensed 'Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie' under German law. If you would be interested in a session with me, you can sign up to this event or send a message to request@zigmal.org, and I will contact you with the next steps. Looking forward to hearing from you!

**\>\> Please note that the event's location will be sent to you once you RSVP <<** Hey, I’m Annabelle, and I’m a recovering bulimic. I struggled with bulimia for 15 years, and I’ve always wished there was a space where I could talk about it openly, without judgment, without shame, just honesty, support, and people who *get it*. People who are also on this journey. People who want to heal and figure out who they are beyond bulimia. So, I decided to create that space. **What is this group about** * A space where you can talk about your **binge eating or bulimia** without feeling judged. * A space to reconnect with yourself — the *you* that exists beyond the eating disorder. * A space for support and real connection with people who are going through (or have been through) the same thing. * A place to share your wins *and* your hard days, and be met with encouragement and support. **What to expect** * Journaling prompts, discussions, games, readings from ED-related literature, meditations, and more. * Deeper conversations — not just about the ED, but about who you are underneath it all. **Who is this for?** * **This group is open to women who are struggling with binge eating or bulimia and *want to recover.*** **What this *isn't*** * This is not therapy. I’m not a therapist and won’t be giving advice on nutrition, exercise, or anything medical. * This is not a place to talk about numbers, weight, calories, or daily food habits. * This is not a place to give unsolicited advice. If someone asks for support, great — but advice will only be shared if it’s asked for. * This is *definitely* not a space that promotes or glorifies eating disorders. **A bit about me** I’m 33, I live in Berlin, and I have a very eclectic taste in music — but I always come back to Nightwish. When I’m not reading memoirs or self-help books, you’ll usually find me looking for a new café around the city or walking in the forest or a park. Some of my favorite podcasts include *The Rich Roll Podcast*, *How I Built This*, *We Can Do Hard Things*, and *The School of Greatness.* I’m a certified life coach, and I’m passionate about guiding people to unlock their own truth and remove the mental blocks that hold them back from pursuing their purpose. Right now, I’m writing a weekly blog called *Life Beyond Bulimia*, which you can find on my Substack. **Before you sign up** The location of this group will be revealed once you RSVP. While the space is kindly provided to us for free, we are asked to contribute 1€ per person per meeting (including myself). There's an online version of this group, to see the dates and register, visit [this link. ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1820313028269?aff=oddtdtcreator) To make sure everyone is heard, the meetings will be limited to 10 people at a time. Can’t wait to meet you! Until then, know that you are stronger than you think. 🌹 Annabelle

**\*"It Was Just An Accident"\*** Feel free to join if you're interested. :) Why the movie is important: * **A Symbol of Resistance:** Filmed in secret within Iran without government permission, the movie is a defiant act by Panahi, who has faced multiple arrests and a long-standing filmmaking ban. * **International Recognition:** It won the prestigious [Palme d'Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Was_Just_an_Accident) and became the first Iranian film nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama at the Golden Globes. * **Personal and Collective Truth:** The story is deeply informed by Panahi's own 2022–2023 imprisonment in Evin Prison and the real-life testimonies of fellow inmates he met there. * **Breaking Taboos:** It is one of the first major Iranian films to show women without the mandatory hijab, reflecting the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement and contemporary Iranian reality. * **Moral Complexity:** Rather than a simple revenge story, it forces the audience to grapple with the agonizing cycle of violence, questioning whether mercy or retribution is the true path to justice. Unraveling against the ever-present backdrop of authoritarianism, the film coalesces into a climactic act of resistance by an Iranian auteur who is no stranger to unjust detainment himself. Powered by thrilling momentum and peerless craft, France’s Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards asks us to consider – and reconsider – the line between right and wrong. The winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes is a fearless tour-de-force from cinematic luminary Jafar Panahi. Both urgently political and deeply humane, this new moral classic confronts truth and uncertainty, revenge and mercy, head-on. **Tickets: Free seat selection** https://lichtblick-kino.org/ein-einfacher-unfall/

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Topic details coming soon. AGENDA: 7:00pm - Opening announcements 7:10pm - Main Topic 7:50pm - Q&A

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
