Johanna (the patient’s name has been changed) has been suffering for several months from a persistent lack of energy and increasing fatigue. Shortly after getting up, Johanna would already like to lie down again. It takes a long time until Johanna admits to herself that she has to accept professional help to be able to cope with everyday life and her experiences again. Does Johanna suffer from a burnout or from chronic fatigue syndrome?

Sensitive people can see, hear, smell, taste and feel intensely, and sometimes this intensity of perception can overwhelm them. Increased perception is both a blessing and a curse. It has positive and negative consequences, not only for feeling and thinking, but also on a physical level. That is why knowledge and careful handling of it are critical. In the Alpstein Clinic, we support you holistically and precisely, as well as in terms of prevention, so that this gift is not a weakness, but rather a strength.

In our psychological consultations, we support our patients in their holistic understanding of their own health vs. illness. Self-reflection is the activity of thinking about oneself. This means analyzing and questioning your thoughts, feelings and actions, with the aim of finding out more about yourself.
