Weber & Dogs - Die Midlife-Chance!
Welcome to the middle of life! What's going on here?
Have we arrived where we wanted to be? How do we achieve contentment?
SWR host Florian Weber, nearing 50 (he says) – just shy of 50 (his wife says), is going into a therapy double session with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Christian Peter Dogs on behalf of his generation. 90 minutes live on stage. This is risky, as Dogs provokes to draw out both patient Weber and the audience, encouraging reflection.
Where do I stand in my partnership, in my family, at work, in my relationship with my parents, my children, my friends? What about performance, age, beauty, sex? Do I always have to be happy and smiling? How do I step out of the hamster wheel that chases me through life?
In each live show, the topics change, so no show is like another – each session is a new game with its own unpredictable dynamic!
Florian Weber is a television host and podcast host, born in 1976. He stands in the "middle of life," is married, and a father of three children. For SWR/ARD, he has moderated numerous formats for nearly two decades, including the quiz show "Meister des Alltags," "Die Landesschau Baden-Württemberg," and the political talk "Zur Sache Baden-Württemberg."
He commutes for his hosting between Stuttgart and his family, who live in Chiemgau. Increasingly, the important questions of life fall at his feet, and he faces the challenges that his generation must master in partnership, career, family, and friendships.
In the "therapy hour" on stage with psychiatrist Dr. Christian Peter Dogs, authentic, very personal conversations arise that are provocative, honest, and unusual.
Dr. Christian Peter Dogs is a physician, psychiatrist, and psychotherapist. The 72-year-old has established and successfully led three psychosomatic clinics. His approach: the free choice of therapist because "the chemistry must be right" between therapist and patient. He currently still practices in his private practice in Lindau on Lake Constance.
Dogs employs unconventional methods that lead to quicker success. He incorporates his own story, listens actively, and provokes and confronts patients with an antithesis to stimulate reflection. The "rebel of psychotherapy" questions many common methods of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
With his book "Feelings Are Not an Illness. Why We Need Them and How They Make Us Happy," he was on the SPIEGEL Bestseller list. What Dogs has to say about today's psychological industry, how he has overcome severe traumas from his childhood, and how he leads us toward more self-determination will be highlighted in the conversation with Florian Weber.
