Joko Winterscheidt, known from television, recently spoke about a significant personal crisis in a podcast with Eva Schulz. Despite his success, he felt empty inside and decided to start therapy. He describes this decision as extremely valuable and recommends it to everyone.
Coming to terms with the early loss of his mother
In therapy, he also came to terms with the early loss of his mother, whom he lost at the age of six. For a long time, he had not seen this loss as problematic, but he realized that he had lied to himself in order to avoid the painful confrontation. Therapy helped him to face this reality and understand himself better.
Public figure with a tendency to withdraw
Interestingly, Winterscheidt found that the limelight doesn't really suit him, even though he is in the public eye. He prefers to withdraw in his private life. His career in front of the camera began for pragmatic reasons: He had worked behind the scenes and realized that presenters earn more. He is also constantly looking for new challenges, which is why new shows are attractive to him.
