Body - soul psychological accompaniment for people with disease
The first natural reaction to disease is shock. Often the transition from regarding oneself healthy to being diagnosed as seriously ill is very abrupt. Medical examinations and treatments ensue. More often than not there is no parallel care for the psyche, which is experiencing shock, depression and fear; wondering "why is this happening to me".
The manifold professional literature on psychological reactions to illness clearly indicates that psychological accompaniment can facilitate overcoming the initial shock; help in coping with treatments and improve the probability of recovery
Attentive professional accompaniment can provide meaningful support towards recovery; aid in acquiring techniques for body and soul relaxation and help look into the personal meaning of illness
Over the years clinics for the psychological accompaniment of disease have been founded, and by now a large body of knowledge and expertise has been accumulated. Articles and books about the psychological etiology of illness have been written. They show that treatments attentively accompanying the client; utilizing body-soul techniques for the release of trauma, fears and anxieties contribute significantly to health. Research supports the clinical experience, showing that levels of suffering can be significantly reduced by utilizing soul-body techniques for facilitating personal transition. As the soul-body relaxes, the energy flow strengthens and health improves; making space for life again.
