Radio Spaetkauf Berlin

Jöran has just started looking for a therapist and can’t believe how impossible it seems. Matilde is in therapy and still gets anxiety recalling her search. On this episode they swap stories and explain the basics about Germany’s mental health system. They talk to several people who’ve done it all before. And they explain the first steps to take.

He also frequently called the Berliner Krisendienst: http://www.berliner-krisendienst.de Jöran tried Berlin Institute for Psychotehrapy and Psychoanalyse (BIPP): https://bipp-berlin.de/ Others went straight to a Hausarzt (a general doctor).
