Sibylle Janert
Relationship-based Autism Therapist
DIRFloortime - The PLAY Project - Waldon Method
autistic-like behaviors, autism and Asperger's are not a disease, but primarily human emotional-mental unconscious ways of functioning and reactions to individual sensory-motor regulation and processing difficulties or PTSS.
development tends to head in the 'right direction', but can easily be interrupted, disturbed or blocked by unfavorable emotional experiences.
every child and every human being has an almost infinite potential for development under favorable conditions. Necessary for this are empathetic and understanding relationships, because the human brain can only develop through emotional co-regulation with another person.
Over the years I have given many seminars, courses, workshops and webinars for parents and colleagues, as well as supervision groups for professionals in DIRFloortime, the Waldon Method, about autism and child development, - in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as in England, Bangladesh, India and Bolivia.
More about me
I love being in nature and sitting on one of the benches provided for hikers and enjoying a beautiful view
I don't have a car and ride a bike when it's too far to walk, or I use public transport. I like long train rides (great for tele-vision, i.e. seeing what is further away!) and I feel: 'Why fly when you can take the train?'
I like to go hiking and love to enjoy a beautiful view from the top of a mountain. I like to hike together with others or with a hiking group. And I also like to walk alone. Then I can really be in the here and now and with myself, and often good ideas come to me.
I enjoy spending time with friends and learning about new people and the different ways people 'do' their lives.
Süße Sachen, Kuchen und Schokolade mag ich NICHT besonders, ausser Zwetschgen- und andere Obstkuchen (aber niemals Rührkuchen!), – und meistens läßt sich bei mir noch Schokolade vom letzten oder vorletzen Ostern oder Weihnachten finden.
I love salad, vegetables (preferably green vegetables) and salty, hot or spicy things.
I like to sing and play the lyre (or try to learn and teach myself).
My TV is my window with a view of the sky, trees and mountains with a constantly changing program of light, weather and seasons. I like to watch the global disaster news in a well-dosed and selected manner.
I love to watch plants grow and know many by name in German, English and Latin. As a child I wanted to be a botanist and I almost always had an 'adopted garden' to take care of.
Roses should have a scent, not just look beautiful. In general, I love fragrant flowers.
I am fascinated by development and non-verbal communication in people, animals and plants in the garden, on the balcony, in the wild.
As a teenager, I was already interested in the emotional and psychological development of human beings and had a strong sense of responsibility for my little brother and his development.
Both my grandmothers grew up with divorced parents, - 1902 and 1910. Over 100 years ago! Just imagine!
One of my earliest memories is before I could speak, on my mother's arm in the stairwell: great excitement, because another child had locked himself in the bathroom! With the key. And it didn't fit under the door. Because the child did not manage to unlock the lock with the key by himself. What now?
My left eye is my stronger eye, although it is much weaker than my right eye, which is much more sensitive to light and closes quickly as soon as it is too bright.
I love cats and would love to have one or 2 cats. But unfortunately I am not allowed to have pets in my apartment.
I am very aware that I am only a 'guest on earth' for a limited time and that to be happy I don't have to have or own many things, like car, house, TV, ...., but to be creative with what I have (in me) to make the world a little better.
