About Johanna Kresin

Johanna Kresin is a psychologist in training and Program Associate at Longevity Germany. Her work centers on the psychology of human connection: how it shows up in therapy, and how it plays out in everyday relationships. Since January 2026 she has given four talks at Longevity Munich. She opened with "Blind Spots of Self-Improvement Culture", a critical look at why advice that sounds convincing often changes nothing in daily life. Then came a two-part series on how childhood shapes what we seek and avoid in close relationships. Her most recent talk, "Is it you or is it me? - Communication Beyond Words", explores transference: the second layer of communication running beneath what is actually said. Her sessions follow a set format: a 60-minute talk, then a guided group exercise and open discussion, in deliberately small groups of 15 to 18 people. No prior psychology knowledge is needed. The point is to understand your own patterns, not to memorize theory. You can find Johanna on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kresinjohanna).
