Tobias Schulze, the insightful clinical psychologist and director of Talking Cure, illuminates a profound notion: 'Personality is trauma decontextualized.' Delving into the essence of this statement, Schulze shares the intrigue and gratification he's found within the realm of clinical psychology.

Initially, Schulze was reluctant to venture into clinical psychology, driven by misconceptions portraying it as emotionally draining and engulfed in negativity. However, he soon discovered a rich tapestry of challenges and rewards, particularly at the nexus of trauma and personality.

In his practice, Schulze confronts the core existential struggles inherent in personality disorders, addressing fundamental questions about navigating existence and relationships. His work revolves around empowering individuals to unlock their potential, dreams, and aspirations.
