Aspekte Panorama
What is Aspekte Panorama?
Sometimes a Situation becomes too complex to navigate.
A relationship hits a wall. A family faces a crisis. A career no longer feels fulfilling. A team finds itself in constant conflict. An organisation no longer seems to reflect its values. A decision feels impossible to make.
You know something needs to change, but you don’t know what.
Life goes on, but the problem remains.
Aspekte Panorama offers a strategic way to explore situations that have become difficult to understand or influence.
ASPEKTE PANORAMA
Developed by psychiatrist and neurologist Dr. Robby Jacob through decades of clinical practice and research, Aspekte Panorama is the central application of Prosoponistics.
Rather than focusing exclusively on the individual, we examine the Situation itself: the people, places, behaviours, values, feelings and other significant aspects that shape it.
In your session, we explore two Situations spacially:
Your Situation as it already is
The Situation that you want
In The Now, we work together to make both perceptible and discover opportunities for change.
Using simple wooden blocks, we map out and explore how the different aspects of your Situation relate to one another, where tensions arise and what might need to change. The arrangement of these blocks gives you a way to examine the Situation as a whole, rather than approaching each difficulty in isolation.
This unique method achieves a degree of clarity that is difficult to reach through dialogue alone
You do not need to arrive with a clearly defined problem or a ready-made solution. Sometimes the starting point for our clients is simply:
“Something doesn’t feel right.”
When perception changes, what becomes possible changes with it.
Our aim is not merely to understand your Situation differently, but to make Situational transformation possible.

Who is Aspekte Panorama for?
-
For leaders navigating Situations that demand difficult decisions, competing responsibilities, conflict, uncertainty, or organisational change.
-
For professionals seeking a fresh perspective on a challenging case, working relationship or recurring professional dilemma.
-
For teams and organisations examining conflict, collaboration, communication or shared Situations in which established ways of working no longer serve their purpose.
-
For couples and families facing recurring conflict, changing responsibilities or difficulties in finding a way forward together.
-
For people facing important decisions, life transitions or recurring difficulties — especially when they know something needs to change but cannot yet see how.
How does Aspekte Panorama work?
-
We begin by exploring the Situation you face today. Together, we identify the aspects that matter and represent them spacially using simple wooden blocks.
These aspects may include:
People: The individuals, groups and stakeholders involved.
Places: The physical or organisational environments in which things happen.
Behaviours: The actions, interactions and recurring patterns that shape the Situation.
Resources: The capabilities, responsibilities, opportunities and constraints at play.
Feelings: The feelings that influence how people perceive, respond to and make decisions about the Situation.
Beliefs and values: The assumptions, priorities and principles that influence decisions and actions.
Purpose: The aims and intentions that give the Situation its direction.
We explore how these aspects relate to one another through their relative positions, distances, directions and sizes. As the arrangement takes shape, the Situation becomes perceptible as a whole.
Relationships, tensions and possibilities that were previously difficult to recognise become easier to explore and understand, opening up new perspectives on what is happening and what might need to change.
-
Next, we explore how you would like the Situation to be.
Rather than imagining an ideal future in isolation, we examine what would make a different situation genuinely desirable, realistic and sustainable.
As we explore possible changes, we pay attention to objections, tensions, and instinctive responses. These may reveal important conditions that need to be understood before change becomes viable. -
With your Current and Desired situations in view, we work together in the Now to explore what might need to change.
Sometimes a small adjustment — a different position, greater distance, a change in direction or the addition of something missing — reveals a new possibility. In other situations, multiple adjustments may be necessary.
Following each adjustment, we reconsider the desired Situation:
· What feels different now?
· What has become possible?
· Does anything still feel unresolved?
· What else would need to change?
Step by step, we assess these possibilities together, working towards a Situation that better reflects what you need or want.
-
The true value of our work lies in what becomes possible beyond the session itself.
In the days and weeks that follow, you can observe how the Situation develops in everyday life. Decisions may become easier to approach. Relationships may acquire a different meaning. Or a previously overlooked possibility might begin to make sense.
The purpose is not simply to create a clearer picture of your Situation.
It is to create a Situation in which a different way of living becomes possible for you. -
Aspekte Panorama is not designed around long-term dependency.
The number of sessions depends on the Situation you want to explore.For many clients, just one to four sessions are sufficient to examine a Situation and work towards meaningful change.
