Psychological Support for Serious Illnesses
Psychological support always plays an important role for us when patients are confronted with life-threatening or significant
chronic illnesses
. This may be accompanied by serious crises, or important decisions may have to be made for the rest of their lives.
Our practice does not primarily see itself as a psychotherapeutic practice.
However, we are convinced that, within the framework of a holistic concept, psychological support and guidance can not only be very helpful and important, but is even a very central element.
The fact that our feelings and sensitivities always influence physical processes is a trivial realization and we can feel it daily in our own bodies. Every activation of emotional areas in the brain has noticeable physical effects – negative as well as positive.
However, the important role that the psyche plays in strengthening self-healing powers is still too often ignored in daily practice.
Anxiety and stress reactions, grief and emotional traumas have a direct, negative influence on our hormone system and lead to a weakening of the immune system.
