Therapeutic methods
Depth psychology-based psychotherapy:
Here, in one-on-one sessions that require a high degree of openness and trust, the unconscious inner conflict that is causing the discomfort is worked out and fully or partially resolved. In this way, a healthy and less stressful way of life is made possible.
Behavioral therapy:
Based on the basic assumption that our lives are characterized by learning processes, mental disorders are also seen as a result of unfavorable or stressful learning experiences. Behavioral therapy is concerned with stimulating both conscious and unconscious learning processes and thus reducing or eliminating problematic behavior or psychological symptoms. A basic assumption is that psychological problems and disorders are learned and can therefore be unlearned through new experiences.
The objectives and therapy planning are determined between the patient and the therapist. The choice of therapy method is based individually on the indication and resources of the patient in order to achieve the best possible help or cure.
