TRAUMA
What IS
What IS
Trauma is a deeply personal and often misunderstood topic that affects many people in different ways. Whether it’s from a single traumatic event or a series of smaller ones, trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars that can be difficult to heal.
Trauma can manifest itself in many different ways, including flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and a general sense of unease or discomfort. It can also affect one’s relationships with others, making it difficult to form close connections or trust others.
The effects of trauma can be especially challenging to navigate if it has occurred in childhood or early adolescence. Without proper support and resources, individuals may struggle to process their experiences and may carry the effects of trauma with them into adulthood.
However, healing from trauma is possible. With the help of therapy, support groups, and other resources, individuals can work through their experiences and learn coping mechanisms to help manage symptoms. It’s important to remember that healing is a process and may take time, but it is possible to move forward and live a fulfilling life after experiencing trauma.
If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of trauma, know that you are not alone. There are resources available to help you navigate the healing process and move towards a place of healing and growth.

POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
What IS
PTSD
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Trauma can take many forms, including physical violence, sexual assault, natural disasters, and combat.
Symptoms of PTSD can include intrusive thoughts or memories of the traumatic event, avoidance of triggers related to the event, hypervigilance or constant alertness, nightmares, flashbacks, and feeling numb or detached from others.
PTSD can be a challenging condition to live with, and it can significantly have an impact on one’s quality of life. It can affect relationships, work, and daily activities, and can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety.
Fortunately, there are effective treatments available for PTSD, including therapy and medication. Therapy can help individuals process their experiences, develop coping skills, and learn strategies for managing symptoms. Medication can also help manage symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
It’s important to remember that seeking treatment for PTSD is a sign of strength, not weakness. With the right support and resources, it is possible to live a fulfilling life after experiencing trauma and PTSD.
If you or someone you know is struggling with PTSD, know that you are not alone. There are resources available to help you navigate the healing process and move towards a place of healing and growth.
What IS
PTSD
For Professional Athletes
Professional athletes are often exposed to high levels of physical and emotional stress, which can put them at increased risk of experiencing traumatic events and developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The unique demands of the sport, including intense competition, high expectations, and the potential for injury, can all contribute to the development of PTSD.
Fortunately, there are effective treatments available for PTSD that can help professional athletes manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. These treatments may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
Therapy can be particularly effective for professional athletes, as it can help them process their experiences and learn coping skills to manage the stressors of their sport. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common form of therapy used to treat PTSD, and it involves working with a therapist to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to PTSD symptoms.
In addition to therapy, medication can also be effective in managing PTSD symptoms. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed to help alleviate symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.
It’s important for professional athletes to seek treatment for PTSD, as the condition can have significant negative effects on their performance, as well as their overall health and well-being. By working with a mental health professional to address their symptoms, professional athletes can improve their mental and physical health, and continue to thrive both on and off the field.
If you are a professional athlete who is struggling with PTSD, or if you know someone who is, know that there are resources available to help. By seeking treatment, you can take an important step towards healing and reclaiming your life.
What we do
THERAPY
We take a holistic approach to treatment. The gut is cleaned which is an essential thing, the organism is detoxified and excess weight is reduced. Our holistic therapy includes nutrition and lifestyle coaching.
With proactive, motivated participation in our personalised, holistic therapy programme, we are able to significantly improve your quality of life within a short period of time. Nevertheless, we cannot work miracles without your participation. A four-week stay is the minimum that we require. Six to twelve weeks is certainly the optimum, depending on the situation.
People with PTSD – and especially PROFESSIONALS – need specialized treatment to recover from psychological distress that can be intense and disabling. It is important to remember that trauma may lead to severe distress. That distress is not the individual’s fault, and PTSD is treatable. The earlier a person gets treatment, the better chance of recovery.
Several best practice models for mental health screening in elite athletes have been developed in the past years. Treatment of PTSD in the athlete population is similar to trauma-informed treatment in the general population but it should involve the athlete’s multidisciplinary team of clinical experts to account for unique demands and preferences in the context of sport.
“Living and working together with us”
- Psychoanalysis
- Psychotherapy
- Hypnotherapy
With these three types of therapy, we achieve full control of the person’s situation, which until before may have been in despair, and bring them into a situation where they begin to deal with themselves “differently”. Then, they will be able to control emotions and situations after having searched deep within themselves to find a way to deal with the “problem” from the cause. And it is not only the long hours of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy that will make the patient find what creates their fear and drive it away, it is the absolute feeling of a warm family environment of trust and love.
- Massage / Reflexology / Acupuncture
Entering into bioresonance together with the help offered by all of the above as well as with
- Personal training / Yoga / Pilates
Meditation and Breathing sessions
Body and spirit enter the path of rebirth, they begin to coordinate with a full mood of recovery and in consciousness …….
We could not ignore the importance of being careful and planning paying the proper attention to ease the body and the mind

It is a necessary prerequisite for cleansing/detoxifying the body, strengthening the immune system and restoring the smooth functioning of all control organs. All of these factors will work together to produce a result and you will gradually return to your physical, spiritual, and mental well-being…
Recovery is not our only goal, it is only the beginning. Our goal is to make our philosophy become part of your daily life.

STRESS
What IS
What IS
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you sense danger – whether real or imagined – the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a quick, automatic process known as the ‘fight or flight’ or ‘stress response’.
So, anxiety is a natural reaction to the inability to deal with particular demands and situations. The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energized and alert. In emergency situations, anxiety can save your life—giving you extra strength to defend yourself, or for example, prompting you to hit the brakes to avoid a car accident.
Stress can have other positive aspects, sometimes referred to as “eustress”. For example, it can help you tackle challenges like keeping you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpen your focus when you attempt a game-winning free throw, or get you studying for an exam when you prefer to watch TV.
It’s true that not all stress is bad for you, but beyond a certain point, it stops being helpful and starts causing problems. Feeling too much stress can have a negative impact on your health, mood, productivity, relationships and quality of life.
If you often feel tired and overwhelmed, it’s time to take action and bring your nervous system back into balance.
If you don’t take immediate steps to manage stress, it can become a lifelong condition. Relationships, work, financial obligations, and other circumstances can all cause stress. Admittedly, anything that poses a perceived or actual threat to a person’s well-being can cause stress.
Stress can be a motivator, and in some cases, it is even necessary for survival. The body’s fight-or-flight response system tells a person how and when to react to danger. When the body is too easily activated or when there are too many stressors at once, it can compromise a person’s physical and mental health and be harmful.
You can protect yourself—and improve the way you think and feel—by learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of chronic stress and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.

What we do
THERAPY
While stress can damage a person’s psychological and physical health, it is also highly reversible.
Our stress treatment focuses on the restoration of mind-body balance through biochemical restoration and many other daily and natural actions based on holistic life therapy.
We aim to provide you with all the nutrients and chemicals the body needs to function optimally. This allows the body to restore its internal balance. On a case-by-case basis, we will treat your stress-related condition using an individualized formula of nutritional supplements and IV solutions that may include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other substances, in conjunction with a fully customized diet.
We also provide complementary therapies such as yoga, massage, acupuncture and reflexology, among many others. Treatment programs include intensive psychotherapy and psychoeducational sessions to help you develop healthier coping strategies for dealing with stress.
Of course, our program begins with a thorough evaluation process so that we can provide you with comprehensive treatment for substance abuse dependence, behavioral addictions, and other mental health conditions. Our team will create a personalized treatment plan that will directly target all the elements of your emotional, physical and psychological health that lead to excessive stress in your life.
Also by designing special 7-day full detox programs adapted to people with many responsibilities and daily pressures (entrepreneurs, high-ranking business executives and people in general positions of responsibility), we aim to help anyone who needs to fight stress and restore their health but does not have the time or the need to complete a month-long treatment program. These programs are especially modified for people who feel exhausted, stressed or burned out and really want to regain the “quality of life”. It is a chance for a reboot and rebirth.
BURNOUT
What IS
What IS
Each of us will experience stress at some point in our lives. Anxiety is an extremely common human emotion and completely normal. Burnout is a syndrome associated with chronic workplace stress. Feelings of exhaustion or depletion of energy, mental distance from one’s work, and feelings of negativity and cynicism are all linked to it. The result of prolonged and excessive stress is burnout, which is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to keep up with the constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a particular role in the first place.
Burnout reduces productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing left to give.
The negative effects of burnout affect every area of life, including your home, work and social life. Burnout can also cause long-term changes in your body that make you vulnerable to illnesses like colds and flu. Because of its many consequences, it is important to treat burnout immediately.
Burnout is a gradual process. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it can stick with you. Signs and symptoms are subtle at first but get worse over time. Think of early symptoms as red flags that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. If you pay attention and actively reduce your stress, you can prevent a major meltdown. If you ignore them, you will eventually burn out.
Burnout can feel intolerable, energy-sapping, fuelling anger and resentment. Unchecked, it can also lead to physical problems such as recurrent sickness, heart palpitations and chest pains, plus it may also trigger a reliance on alcohol and other substances.

PHOBIA
What IS
What IS
A phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. Phobias can develop in response to a traumatic event or simply as a result of repeated exposure to a particular trigger. Common phobias include a fear of heights (acrophobia), enclosed spaces (claustrophobia), and spiders (arachnophobia), among many others.
Phobias can significantly impact one’s quality of life, leading to avoidance of the trigger and limiting one’s ability to participate in daily activities. It can also cause physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, sweating, and difficulty breathing.
Fortunately, there are effective treatments available for phobias. Exposure therapy is a common form of treatment that involves gradually exposing the individual to the feared object or situation in a safe and controlled environment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is another common form of treatment that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with their phobia.
It’s important to seek treatment for a phobia, as it can significantly impact one’s quality of life and limit their ability to participate in daily activities. With the right support and resources, it is possible to overcome a phobia and regain a sense of control and freedom.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a phobia, know that there are resources available to help. By seeking treatment, you can take an important step towards overcoming your fears and living a fulfilling and free life.

What we do
THERAPY
Our phobia treatment programs focus on intensive psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, natural hypnosis and biochemical rehabilitation. We can help you overcome your phobia and restore your health physically, emotionally and socially.
Our treatment programs usually include some combination of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, hypnosis and HOLISTIC re-treatment depending on the type of phobia YOU HAVE.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be beneficial, allowing the person to challenge dysfunctional thoughts or beliefs, be aware of their feelings, and recognize that their fear is irrational.
Evidence supports the fact that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is effective in treating certain phobias. Primarily used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, EMDR has been shown to reduce phobia symptoms following a specific trauma, such as fear of dogs after a bite or an attack.
Hypnotherapy can be used alone or in combination with systematic desensitization to treat phobias. Through hypnotherapy, the underlying cause of the phobia can be revealed. The phobia can be caused by a past that the person does not remember, a phenomenon known as repression. The mind represses traumatic memories from the conscious mind until the person is ready to face them.
Hypnotherapy can also eliminate conditioned responses that occur in different situations. People first enter a hypnotic trance, an extremely relaxed state in which the unconscious can be retrieved. This situation makes people more open to suggestions, which contributes to the desired change. Consciously dealing with old memories helps people make sense of the event and see it as less threatening.
Biochemical rehabilitation is an increasingly recognized form of treatment that can be used alongside other holistic treatment methods for recovery, such as treatment options and detoxification plans. Biochemical restoration will involve your diet to try to restore a more natural balance to your body. Humans need a variety of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids at varying levels to function at an optimal level. When you are addicted to a substance, this healthy balance is thrown off and your body is left lacking in various aspects of a balanced diet. Your nervous system, organs and various glands experience permanent changes that can also worsen symptoms of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
We also provide nutritional support with all of our treatment programs to help you achieve long-term recovery with maintained sobriety and a new outlook on your future.

What we do
THERAPY
We are all different, so the way we treat your depression will depend on several factors. The treatment will commonly combine many different approaches like talking therapies, a change in lifestyle and medicines. With the right treatment, most people with depression can make a full recovery.
Counseling enables sufferers to speak about their feelings to professionals.
You’ll be amazed at how much better you can feel by just talking about it.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-directed, systematic, and problem-solving therapeutic approach which focuses on how we think and act to help overcome and manage emotions.
Interpersonal and dynamic therapy offers space for people to make sense of what they are doing through, exploring ways of coping with difficulties and making useful changes to their lives. These also offer a chance to understand difficulties you may have in relationships more easily and to chart a path to a more content life.
We first identify all underlying causes for depression and any co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety or substance abuse. We will then address all of the underlying factors.
Each case is unique so treatment has to be adjusted accordingly to each person’s differentiated history and current levels of compulsion. Medication is used – but not in all – cases to eliminate the dysphoria that the discontinuation of a certain behavior might cause.
Depression is among the most treatable of mental disorders. Between 80% and 90% percent of people with depression eventually respond well to treatment. Almost all patients gain some relief from their symptoms.
Harmony’s place centre professionals will undertake detailed laboratory and environmental analysis to construct a unique and evidence-based personalised plan just for you and give you time to reflect and relax in our beautiful and luxurious surroundings.
ANXIETY
What IS
What IS
Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can be debilitating if left untreated. Treatment for anxiety often involves a combination of medication and therapy.
There are several types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobias, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder and separation anxiety disorder.
Generalized anxiety disorder involves persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities. This ongoing worry and tension may be accompanied by physical symptoms, such as restlessness, feeling on edge or easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension or sleep disorders. Often, the worries focus on everyday things such as job responsibilities, family health or minor matters such as chores, car repairs, or appointments.
Medication can be helpful in easing anxiety symptoms, particularly in alleviating excessive worry and physical symptoms like sweating or palpitations.
In addition to medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to treat anxiety. CBT can help individuals identify and challenge their negative thoughts and develop coping strategies to manage anxiety. Exposure therapy is a specific type of CBT that involves gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or objects to reduce anxiety.
Other types of therapy, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can also be helpful for individuals with anxiety. MBSR involves developing mindfulness skills to manage stress and anxiety while ACT focuses on accepting and managing thoughts and feelings rather than trying to control or eliminate them.
Lifestyle changes and our Holistic methods such as regular exercise, healthy eating and stress management, can also be beneficial in managing symptoms of anxiety.

THERAPY
Our treatment methods usually consist of a combination of many things that are part of our overall holistic approach. Antidepressants are usually the drugs of choice which have a safer profile and are easy to use. Medications will not treat the root cause of the anxiety disorder, but cognitive-behavioral therapies will help patients change the way they think (cognition) and act (behavior) in stressful situations.
Although each anxiety disorder has unique characteristics. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of talk therapy, can help a person learn a different way of thinking, reacting, and behaving to help them feel less anxious.
We can provide you with comprehensive, exclusive and bespoke treatment for anxiety disorders, tailoring your treatment plan to suit your needs.
We use psychotherapeutic techniques such as mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy to minimize the psychological symptoms of anxiety and hypnosis psychoanalysis.

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER - OCD
What IS
What IS
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder in which people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions).It is a mental health condition that involves obsessions (intrusive and unwanted thoughts or images) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to alleviate anxiety). Anxiety is a disorder that affects two to three percent of the population. To get rid of these thoughts, they feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions).
It usually begins in late childhood or early adolescence. People with OCD are usually aware of the irrational and excessive nature of their obsessions and compulsions. OCD often arises as the mind’s unconscious attempt to deal with complicated feelings or life events that the person feels that they have no control over. Many people without OCD have distressing thoughts or repetitive behaviors.
Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses or images that cause distressing emotions such as anxiety, fear or disgust. Many people with OCD recognize that these are a product of their minds and that they are excessive or unreasonable. However, the distress caused by these intrusive thoughts cannot be resolved by logic or reasoning. Most people with OCD try to ease the distress of obsessional thinking or undo the perceived threats, by using compulsions. They may also try to ignore or suppress the obsessions or distract themselves with other activities.
Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession. These behaviors typically prevent or reduce a person’s distress related to an obsession temporarily and it is more likely for him to do the same in the future. Compulsions may be excessive responses that are directly related to an obsession (such as excessive hand washing due to the fear of contamination) or actions that are completely unrelated to the obsession. In the most severe cases, a constant repetition of rituals may fill the day, making a normal routine impossible.

What we do
THERAPY
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be debilitating and negatively affect a person’s well-being and quality of life. There is no doubt that clinical treatment for OCD is challenging, but full recovery is possible with the right treatment.
We treat the root causes of OCD, not just the symptoms. We perform a thorough assessment to identify the factors that contribute to OCD.
OCD patients who receive appropriate treatment usually experience increased quality of life and improved functioning. Treatment can improve a person’s ability to function at school and work, develop and enjoy relationships and pursue recreational activities. Biochemical restoration and numerous complementary therapies ensure that your physical and mental health is as robust as possible while you go through the difficult journey of recovery. OCD often arises as the mind’s unconscious attempt to cope with complex emotions or life events the person feels they have no control over. We will provide many hours of specialized psychotherapy to address these challenges.
An effective treatment is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) known as exposure and response prevention (ERP).
By remaining in a fearful situation without something fearful happening, patients learn that their fearful thoughts are just thoughts. People learn that they can deal with their thoughts without relying on ritualistic behaviors, and their anxiety decreases over time. Using evidence-based guidelines, therapists and patients typically work together to develop an exposure plan that gradually moves from lower to higher-stress situations.
Our main goal is to help you break the obsessive-compulsive cycle and create healthier ways of coping with fear.
ADHD
What IS
What IS
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children as well as adults. Symptoms of ADHD include inattention (inability to concentrate), hyperactivity and impulsivity.
ADHD is considered a chronic and debilitating disorder and is known to affect many aspects of a person’s life, including academic and professional achievement, interpersonal relationships, and daily functioning. ADHD can lead to poor self-esteem and social functioning in children when not properly treated. Adults with ADHD may experience poor self-esteem, sensitivity to criticism and increased self-criticism possibly stemming from higher levels of criticism throughout life.
Scientists have not yet identified the specific causes of ADHD. While there is growing evidence that genetics contribute to ADHD, and many genes have been linked to the disorder, no specific gene or combination of genes has been identified as the cause of the disorder. However, it is important to note that relatives of people with ADHD are often affected as well. There is evidence of anatomical differences in the brains of children with ADHD compared to other children without the condition. For example, children with ADHD have reduced brain gray and white matter volume and show different brain region activation during certain tasks. Further studies have shown that the frontal lobes, caudate nucleus and cerebellar root of the brain are affected in ADHD. Several non-genetic factors have also been linked to the disorder, including low birth weight, premature birth, exposure to toxins (alcohol, smoking, lead, etc.) during pregnancy, and extreme stress during pregnancy.
Upon arrival, we provide a comprehensive assessment to identify all physical and emotional issues and address any co-existing mental health conditions.

What we do
THERAPY
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be a difficult condition to live with as it can make a person feel drained and uncomfortable in their own skin and may struggle to find long-term joy in their passions, relationships or life. This can lead to a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Although challenging, ADHD is manageable with adequate treatment and support.
Although there is no cure for ADHD, with appropriate treatment and support, it is possible to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
In addition to medication, behavioral therapy can be helpful for people with ADHD. Behavioral therapy can help people develop skills to manage their symptoms and improve their daily functioning. This may include strategies to improve time management, organization and impulse control.
Other types of treatment, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and social skills training, may also be beneficial for people with ADHD. CBT can help individuals learn to identify and change negative thought patterns, while social skills training can help individuals improve communication and social interaction skills.
Holistic treatment and lifestyle changes such as improved sleep habits, exercise and a healthy diet can be beneficial in managing ADHD symptoms. We provide you with in-depth and comprehensive ADHD treatment programs. Upon arrival, we provide a comprehensive assessment to identify all physical and emotional issues and address any co-existing mental health conditions.
Based on the results of these tests, we tailor a bespoke treatment plan based on your specific needs. You will also be provided with numerous complementary therapies such as acupuncture, yoga and massage therapies to strengthen the mind-body connection. Our specialist psychotherapists will use various techniques, such as mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, to help you reduce symptoms of ADHD and develop the skills needed to manage them.
Numerous studies show that adequate rest, diet and exercise are essential tools to ensure that ADHD symptoms remain minimal, so we include biochemical remediation and nutritional counseling in every ADHD treatment program. You will also be provided with numerous complementary therapies such as acupuncture, yoga and massage treatments to strengthen the mind-body connection.
While ADHD can be challenging, it is also associated with increased levels of creativity and intelligence. It is a fairly common mental health condition in ultra-high-net-worth families and settings. Many successful CEOs cite this as a great advantage once they develop the skills needed to manage their symptoms and live their lives to the fullest.
MOURNING / GRIEF
What IS
What IS
The terms “mourning” and “grief” refer to the personal experience and psychosocial expression of sorrow or grief. The outward social and emotional expressions of grief embody the meaning of mourning. Bereavement and grief are natural responses to the loss of a loved one or a major life change. While everyone experiences grief differently, it is a universal human experience that can be incredibly challenging and overwhelming. At some point, everyone will have at least one encounter with grief.
Grief is also very personal. It doesn’t follow any timetable or schedule. You may cry, get angry, withdraw or feel empty. None of these things is unusual or wrong. Grief is an intrinsic psychological, behavioral, social and physical process. Mourning encompasses the visible personal and collective expressions of grief.
The grieving process often involves a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, denial, and even relief. Allowing you to experience and express these emotions is crucial since repressing or avoiding them can make the mourning process take longer. There is no “right” way to grieve and everyone experiences grief differently. It’s important to honor your own unique process and seek support when you need it.
It is important to remember that the grieving process is unique to each person and that it may take time to find a sense of healing and acceptance. With our support and commitment to self-care, it is possible to move through the grieving process and find meaning and purpose in life after a loss.

PERSONALITY DISORDERS
What IS
What IS
Personality disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by persistent patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that deviate from cultural norms and cause significant distress or impairment. There are several different types of personality disorders, each with their own unique set of symptoms and characteristics.
Some common types of personality disorders include:
- Borderline personality disorder: characterized by unstable emotions, impulsiveness, and intense, unstable relationships with others.
- Narcissistic personality disorder: characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy for others, and a need for admiration.
- Antisocial personality disorder: characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, a lack of empathy or remorse, and a tendency towards impulsive or aggressive behavior.
- Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder: characterized by a preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control, often to the point of interfering with everyday life.
Personality disorders can be challenging to diagnose and treat and thus may require ongoing therapy.
People with a personality disorder, therefore, cannot learn from their own mistakes in such a way that they can change their behavior accordingly. This often leads to a conflict, as well as a constant failure at the same hurdles. Resulting in feelings of incomprehension, dissatisfaction, self-deprecation and suffering that also impair quality of life.
Treatment may involve different types of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or schema therapy, depending on the specific disorder and symptoms present.
With proper treatment and support, it is possible to manage the symptoms of personality disorders and improve quality of life. However, it is important to note that personality disorders are chronic conditions that may require long-term management and care.

What we do
THERAPY
At Harmony Place, we provide personalized treatment for people with personality disorders that are individually tailored to your needs and holistically oriented. We offer you an alternative method that is extremely effective with amazing results that can be achieved in a relatively short period of time!
Since personality disorders usually develop in early childhood and are deeply rooted, those affected – unlike other mental disorders – often perceive them as part of their identity. Therefore, they often do not recognize the need for treatment. It is not unusual to seek a doctor’s opinion only because of other associated and secondary illnesses, such as depression or addiction. However, personality disorders can be treated very effectively today. Orthodox medicine prescribes various psychotherapeutic procedures as well as the use of drugs, however, this treatment can be very time-consuming.
Our guiding principles are like a promise to you.
We treat the causes, not the symptoms! Whenever possible, we work without psychoactive drugs! We dedicate our time and all our know-how exclusively to each client individually because for us the basis of every treatment is the correct diagnosis.
The basis of every treatment we use is a comprehensive and extremely detailed diagnosis. As a result, we can uncover and address the causes and associations of disease, which are otherwise often hidden. For your health, we use every bit of our expertise!
In our health centre we use a holistic approach that is particularly effective when combined with changes in your way of life and philosophy.
You will receive personalized treatment specifically tailored to your needs. This is a personalized and highly effective precision treatment that is holistically oriented. Scientifically proven methods from PSYCHOTHERAPY, PSYCHOANALYSIS and Clinical Hypnotherapy are combined with highly proven therapeutic methods.
Yes, it is to your benefit! Therapy using Harmony methods works very effectively on different levels of the body and is extremely solution-oriented. As a result, amazing results can be achieved within a short period of time– and without the use of medical drugs!
BIPOLAR
What IS
What IS
Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes changes in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition that affects approximately 2-3% of the population. People with bipolar disorder experience intense emotional states that typically occur during distinct periods of days to weeks, called mood episodes.
These mood episodes are categorized as manic/hypomanic (abnormally happy or irritable mood) or depressive (sad mood).
People with bipolar disorder generally have periods of neutral mood as well. When treated, people with bipolar disorder can lead full and productive lives.
The symptoms of bipolar disorder can vary widely but may include:
- Feeling excessively happy, high or euphoric (mania or hypomania)
- Feeling excessively sad, hopeless or empty (depression)
- Irritability, agitation, or hostility
- Increased energy or restlessness
- Racing thoughts or difficulty concentrating
- Impulsive or risky behavior
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Thoughts of death or suicide
Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.
People without bipolar disorder experience mood fluctuations as well. However, these mood changes typically last for hours rather than days. Also, these changes are not usually accompanied by the extreme degree of behavior change or difficulty with daily routines and social interactions that people with bipolar disorder demonstrate during mood episodes. Bipolar disorder can disrupt a person’s relationships with loved ones and cause difficulty in working or going to school.
Bipolar disorder commonly runs in families, 80 to 90 per cent of individuals with bipolar disorder have a relative with bipolar disorder or depression. Environmental factors such as stress sleep disruption, drugs and alcohol may trigger mood episodes in vulnerable people. Though the specific causes of bipolar disorder within the brain are unclear, an imbalance of brain chemicals is believed to lead to dysregulated brain activity.

What we do
THERAPY
Bipolar disorder symptoms commonly improve with treatment.
At Harmony Place, we believe that bipolar disorder treatment begins with uncovering and addressing the underlying root causes of this illness.
Our all-encompassing, nurturing and empathetic approach employs a holistic recovery plan.
All of us are unique human beings and therefore the treatment plan will be personalized and exclusive to you.
First of all, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis can help many patients learn about their illness and adhere to treatment, preventing future mood episodes.
A holistic approach of therapy with many different daily methods, cognitive therapy, psychology, clinical hypnotherapy and somatic experience are also useful tools to help you feel better.
We are here to organise everything for you without limits. Rest assured, you will be safe here in a kind and empathetic environment where discretion and privacy are key. Our tranquil location and luxurious surroundings will help you relax and foster your recovery. Our priority is to free you from the shackles of bipolar and restore your mind, body and energy.
Because bipolar disorder is a chronic illness in which mood episodes typically recur, ongoing preventive treatment is recommended. Bipolar disorder treatment can and should be individualized.
Since bipolar disorder can cause serious disruptions in a person’s daily life and create a stressful family situation, family members may also benefit from professional resources, particularly mental health advocacy and support groups. From these sources, families can learn strategies for coping, participating actively in the treatment and obtaining support.
CHRONIC PAIN
What IS
What IS
Every human being has felt some sort of physical pain at one point or another in their lives and, for many, it passes with time. For others, the pain just won’t go away. This is called chronic pain. The feeling persists for months, maybe years. This could have a terrible impact on your life and the lives of those close to you. Unlike acute pain, which passes with the healing process, chronic pain may persist due to physical damage, emotional disturbance or imbalances in biochemistry.
Chronic pain is a complex condition that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. It is defined as pain that persists for longer than three months and is often caused by an underlying medical condition or injury despite medication and treatment. For long-standing pain, it can feel as if there is no escape, affecting your mental health. However, our experts are able to identify the cause of such pain, and with the right treatments they can eliminate it.
One of the most important aspects of chronic pain management is the proper diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition. This may involve a combination of medications, physical therapy and other medical interventions.
It is important to note that chronic pain management is often a multi-disciplinary approach, involving a team of healthcare professionals. This can include doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and other specialists, who work together to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs.

What we do
THERAPY
At times, chronic pain can start without any obvious cause. For others, it may begin following an injury or health condition. People continue to feel pain, but it can be psychogenic, meaning that there is no physical damage to their nervous system or past illness. These can be linked to emotional distress, biochemical imbalances, or damage to the central nervous system. Our teams of professional experts aim to scratch beneath the surface and understand the root of your pain, so your concerns can be addressed and resolved with the highest level of evidence-based treatments at your disposal.
At Harmony Place, we believe that in addition to medical treatment, there are several lifestyle changes that can help you manage chronic pain.
Treatment for somatic symptom disorder is intended to help control symptoms and allow the person to function as normally as possible. Treatment for somatic symptom disorders typically involves regular visits with a trusted healthcare professional. This can include regular exercise, relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing, and healthy sleep habits.
Also, Psychotherapy and Clinical hypnosis can help individuals change their thinking and acting, learn ways to cope with pain or other symptoms, deal with stress and improve functioning. Another approach to chronic pain management is through complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, or chiropractic care. While not all of these therapies have strong scientific evidence to support their effectiveness, many people find them helpful for managing their pain.
It is important to note that chronic pain management is often a multi-disciplinary approach involving a team of healthcare professionals. This can include doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and other specialists who work together to create a comprehensive treatment plan personalized and tailored to the individual’s needs. We believe that with our help, you will be able to build up strong mental health, a strong immune system, and a healthy body.
At Harmony’s Place, our all-encompassing, kind and fully empathetic approaches employ a holistic, chronic pain recovery plan.

AGING
What IS
What IS
Aging is a natural and inevitable part of life. As we age, our bodies and minds undergo several changes, some of which can be challenging. However, with the proper care and attention, it is possible to maintain good health and quality of life well into our later years.
One of the most common changes that occur with ageing is a decline in physical function. This can include decreased mobility, strength, and flexibility which can make it more difficult to perform everyday tasks. However, regular exercise and physical activity can help to maintain and improve physical function, as well as provide a range of other health benefits.
Another change that can occur with ageing is a decline in cognitive function. This can include difficulties with memory, attention, and decision-making. However, engaging in mentally stimulating activities such as puzzles, reading, or learning a new skill can help to maintain cognitive function and even improve it.
As we age, it is important to pay attention to our overall health. This can include regular check-ups with healthcare professionals, staying up-to-date on recommended screenings and vaccinations, and making healthy lifestyle choices such as maintaining a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Ultimately, ageing is a natural part of life that can bring its unique challenges and rewards. By taking care of our bodies and minds, we can maintain good health and continue to enjoy all that life has to offer as we age.

SLEEPING DISORDER
What IS
What IS
Sleep disorders refer to a range of conditions that can affect a person’s ability to get a good night’s rest. There are many different types of sleep disorders, each with its symptoms and causes.
One of the most common sleep disorders is insomnia. It is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both. Insomnia can be caused by several factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, caffeine or alcohol consumption and certain medications.
