Burnout is the expression of a long-term imbalance between stress and recovery. The holistic psychosomatic treatment at the Max Grundig Klinik targets precisely where body and mind have fallen out of balance. Our multimodal therapy concept combines various scientifically grounded psychotherapeutic approaches for an individualised treatment of stress-related chronic exhaustion, in close collaboration with colleagues from Internal Medicine and supported by our state-of-the-art Radiology.
What to Expect
Every therapy is individually tailored to you—specifically addressing your symptoms and needs. The course of treatment and the therapy plan are coordinated with you and adjusted as necessary. The therapy goals established in advance serve as our guiding framework. Overall, the treatment unfolds in a series of distinct steps that build logically upon one another.
The therapeutic process begins even before you are admitted to our facility in person. Once you have made the decision to commence inpatient treatment, you will typically reach out to us to initiate the process.
Our patient management team will inform you about the organisational framework, after which a consultation with one of our specialist physicians or psychotherapists will take place. This preliminary discussion serves as an initial introduction, professional consultation and an assessment of the indication for inpatient treatment with us.
Subsequently, the further organisational steps will be clarified with you through our patient management team. Before you begin inpatient treatment, you will have the opportunity to provide us with important information as well as any existing medical reports in advance via a questionnaire sent to you.
At the beginning of your inpatient stay, a therapeutic and an internal medicine admission consultation will take place. The information you provided in the questionnaire and your previous medical records will be incorporated here. On the basis of comprehensive diagnostic measures (recording of medical history, psychological testing, further examinations) as well as the definition of therapy goals, an individually tailored weekly therapy plan will be drawn up together with you. You will be actively involved in the therapy process from the very beginning.
In principle, the therapy for burnout and chronic exhaustion aims to restore your natural balance between stress and recovery, and to enable you to interpret future physical symptoms as valuable signals for your psychological wellbeing and resilience.
Towards the end of treatment, a form of individual relapse prevention takes place as well as concrete preparation for the post-inpatient phase. This also includes clarifying the possibility of continued outpatient treatment and making contact with your previous outpatient practitioner to ensure a smooth transition back into your everyday life.
Our multimodal therapy concept is based on cognitive behavioural psychotherapy according to the latest scientific standards – structured, goal-oriented and always with a focus on the concrete reality of patients’ lives. We work in a neurobiologically oriented and cross-methodological manner.
Our therapy methods include:
With this declaration of cost coverage, private comprehensive insurance providers typically cover the full costs of inpatient treatment.
As supplementary costs may arise for patients covered by civil servant health schemes (*Beihilfe*), we recommend that you inquire with your *Beihilfe* office in advance to determine which costs will be covered. Our Patient Management team would be happy to assist and advise you in this matter.
