Thanks for your interest in my website. Below you find some compact information about psychotherapy for Effective Altruists and me as a psychotherapist.
Common psychological problem areas
Since I’ve started working with the Effective Altruism and Rationality community, a number of recurrent themes have emerged in therapy, which might also impact your current personal situation.
- Perfectionism
- Depression, low self-worth, lack of meaning in life
- Anxiety, particularly social anxiety
- Concerns about ADHD and Autism
- Relationship issues, particularly relating to polyamory
- Doubts and stress about career choice, particularly AI related careers
- Difficulties establishing fulfilling connections with others
About me
I’ve been involved in Effective Altruism since 2015 and headed the national Austrian Effective Altruism chapter for two years. Currently, I am treasurer of the national organization. I’ve organized several retreats, attended a number of conferences and am familiar with the literature, organizations and cause areas.
