More energy and zest for life through a healthy psyche. There are many situations in which you can quickly feel unwell... You are stressed or even frightened - reactions that everyone has probably experienced at some point. However, if these fears and negative feelings get out of hand and interfere with everyday life, this can reduce the quality of life enormously.

Behavioral therapy

Rethinking helps! One's own perception is based on a very personal view; this may have been appropriate at one time. Now, much later, in another life situation you notice limitations. During psychotherapy you can learn to understand your emotions and thoughts, but also your behavior. Start a rethinking and go new ways.

Cognitive behavioral therapy - briefly explained:

Derived from the Latin "cognitio," the word cognition means "to recognize" or "to know." And this is exactly what forms the basis of the therapy.

When can behavior therapy help?

Basically, behavioral therapy helps when thoughts, feelings, experiences or actions are disturbed. This cannot be generalized, of course, because the emotional level in particular is very complex and differs from person to person. A disorder exists when everyday life and living are impaired.

Typical areas of application of behavioral therapy:

• Depression
• Anxieties (panic attacks and phobias)
• Addictions & compulsions (eating disorders, addictive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder)
• Sleep problems (sleep, nightmares)
• Inappropriate reactions (aggression, repression)
• Trauma (after an accident or abuse)

How behavioral therapy works: Just as negative thinking patterns or feelings have been "acquired," they can be replaced with positive rethinking. Therefore, after an extensive diagnosis/analysis, learning new ways of looking at things takes place. The management of negative situations, is trained through helpful techniques and strategies.
