Psychosomatic Medicine. Psychotherapy. Treatment concepts
Individual treatment plans.
Supporting therapy consultations, both in individual therapy and within the group.
Our specialist psychosomatic medicine centre ensures both intensive psychotherapeutic and comprehensive medical care run by a specialist doctor (e.g. drug treatment). Right at the start of your stay in our clinic you the patient are assigned a reference therapist. Under the supervision of the medical management, together with you, the reference therapist develops an individual treatment plan. Regular team meetings and supervision are part of the continuous quality assurance. A "patient living room" supports the personal atmosphere and is used as a meeting place for our patients.
Important therapy elements.
Different therapy elements are used in the therapy concepts of all psychological and psychosomatic illnesses treated by us. These include individual psychotherapy, group therapy and also "social competence" training.
Strategies for dealing with burnout and depression.
The burnout syndrome manifests itself in physical, mental and emotional symptoms. Within the scope of the therapy our patients are given a feel for the limits of their capacity for stress and learn how to identify the problem of their own excessive demands. Specific treatment elements are psychoeducation, cognitive behavioural interventions (stress coping strategies), relaxation techniques and bio-feedback.

Helpful therapies for anxiety disorders.
Our therapies for patients with anxiety disorders start with therapy consultation, which analyse the relationships between fears, thoughts and behaviour in the form of psychoeduction. The therapy also include you as the patient being exposed to situations in which you experience anxiety, initially accompanied by your therapist, then increasingly more independently. A number of other therapy measures help you to acquire techniques to relax and social competence.
