Founder of Metropolitan Minds and innovator of several short term therapies, Jörg Albers has been exploring the secrets of resilience and how to unfold the full potential of it for over 25 years. He ist today an expert in exposure therapy concerning addiction and trauma. Having worked as a psychologist in the field of psychotherapy since 1989, Jörg Albers has established several new therapy methods based upon the concept of resilience and is seeking to further establish these both nationally and internationally. Since his defining work with Holocaust survivors during civil service in Germany in 1989, Mr. Albers was fascinated by the tremendous inner strength and resistive power some people have been bestowed with. From then on, he has dedicated his career to unravel the secretive power of resilience. From 2001 and until this day Mr. Albers has vigorously pioneered the development of an optimized Cue Exposure Therapy based upon resilience, making it the first and still today most commonly practiced exposure therapy in Denmark.
