About the Instructor

Dr. Richard Blokesch is a Vienna-based psychotherapist specializing in behavioral therapy who provides structured psychological self-help courses alongside his on-site clinical practice. His educational programs are conducted entirely online and focus on overcoming chronic rumination, perfectionism, decision stress, mental hypercontrol, and intolerance of uncertainty based on the Blokesch-Modell der Gedankendynamik.

Study Programs

The educational portfolio of Dr. Richard Blokesch centers on evidence-based psychological online programs grounded in the Blokesch-Modell der Gedankendynamik. Developed from a cognitive behavioral therapy framework, these self-paced digital courses do not confer academic degrees, university credits, or state-regulated vocational qualifications. Instead, they are structured self-guided psychological intervention programs designed to help individuals recognize and interrupt cognitive loops such as chronic analysis, worry, overthinking, and excessive mental control in daily life. Dr. Blokesch also maintains an on-site psychotherapeutic practice, while all educational training programs are delivered exclusively online. The curriculum encompasses six distinct online programs targeting specific cognitive and emotional patterns. Grübeln stoppen addresses repetitive rumination and thought loops that trigger after social interactions, decisions, or unresolved questions. Perfektionismus focuses on overcoming perfectionism when high personal standards generate persistent internal pressure and prevent the completion of tasks. Entscheidungsstress targets decision fatigue and excessive deliberation where continued analysis fails to produce clarity. Nicht abschalten können is aimed at individuals whose mental activity, planning, and tension persist even during physical rest. Mentale Überkontrolle addresses habits of using thoughts to continuously monitor and regulate internal feelings or bodily states, while Umgang mit Unsicherheit helps participants manage the inner tension, reassurance-seeking, and scenario-planning triggered by ambiguous situations. Each of the six online programs follows a standardized pedagogical framework consisting of 8 modules, 24 video lessons, 16 practical worksheets, and an integrated practical companion handbook known as the Praxisbegleiter. Course materials are accessed online through a dedicated member portal following purchase through Digistore24, where programs are priced at 199 euros including the companion guide. Additionally, the platform provides the free 3-Minuten-Grübel-Check, a seven-question self-reflection orientation tool that introduces the 3-Minuten-Wendepunkt exercise, functioning as an entry-level self-assessment rather than a clinical diagnostic test.
