The climate in departments is significantly determined by successful communication between all parties involved. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I invite all future clients whose interest in therapeutic collaboration has been awakened by this website to begin a joint journey of change with me &#8211; according to the African proverb: &#8216;Even the longest journey begins with the first step&#8230;&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator section-separator horizon fusion-section-separator-3\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-svg\" style=\"font-size:0;line-height:0;\"><svg class=\"fusion-horizon-candy\" fill=\"#d2ddcf\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" width=\"100%\" viewBox=\"0 -0.5 1024 178\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" class=\"section-separator-shortcode-divider-svg\"><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M1024 177.371H0V.219l507.699 133.939L1024 .219v177.152z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path class=\"st1\" d=\"M1024 177.781H0V39.438l507.699 94.925L1024 39.438v138.343z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path class=\"st2\" d=\"M1024 177.781H0v-67.892l507.699 24.474L1024 109.889v67.892z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path class=\"st3\" d=\"M1024 177.781H0v-3.891l507.699-39.526L1024 173.889v3.892z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer-height\" style=\"padding-top:17.3828125%;\"><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-section-separator-3 .fusion-section-separator-svg {margin-left:1.92%;margin-right:1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-section-separator-3 .fusion-section-separator-svg {margin-left:1.92%;margin-right:1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-section-separator-3 .fusion-section-separator-svg {margin-left:1.92%;margin-right:1.92%;}}.fusion-section-separator.fusion-section-separator-3 .fusion-section-separator-svg svg,.fusion-section-separator.fusion-section-separator-3 .fusion-section-separator-svg-bg{height:200px;}.fusion-section-separator.fusion-section-separator-3 .fusion-section-separator-spacer-height{height:200px !important;padding-top:inherit !important;}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : ;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : ;}<\/style><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1891","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1891"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1903,"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1891\/revisions\/1903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heidenhofer-psychotherapie.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
