/ In the Mood
Psychology is one of the major themes of our times. Allow us to accompany you along your path to emotional wellbeing.
/ Holistic Psychology
The stability and support provided by a strong and healthy mind makes us happier, more effective and more resilient. Psychology is a key factor in holistic preventive and recuperative medicine. This is because the brain regulates and controls every aspect of the human organism. Just like clockwork wheels, all the human systems interlock: respiration, cardiovascular, hormonal and immune systems, organs and metabolism. Cognitive performance and mental stability become stronger when body, mind and spirit are in harmony. The result is motivation, a general feeling of wellbeing, and a balanced emotional world filled with meaning.
The characteristics of a holistically healthy mind include resilience, self-confidence and emotional intelligence. These affect relationships, job performance, physical health and life satisfaction. Stress, illness, major life events, interpersonal conflicts and unhealthy lifestyle choices all have a negative an effect on the mind’s health as well as on a person’s genetic predisposition and social environment. At some point in our lives, everyone is confronted with situations that require a proactive approach to rebalance body, mind and spirit. The Mount Med Resort’s approach to psychology is highly professional and thoroughly holistic – from initial consultation and diagnostic testing to integrative therapies. Move body, mind and spirit for holistic health: Health You Up!

/ Integrative Mental Health
Our evidence-based psychodiagnostics are based on the American internist and psychiatrist George L Engel’s internationally recognised Biopsychosocial Model of health and disease. It’s an integrative approach that looks at psychological factors – attitudes, patterns of thought, behaviour, and stress – biological factors – genetic predisposition, biochemical processes and metabolic disorders – and social factors – roles, expectations and relationships – and considers them as an intertwined whole. The dynamic interactions of the three areas have a significant effect on the emergence and progress of disorders, their healing processes and, most importantly, on their prevention.
/ Think Healthy
The second pillar of holistic mental health at Mount Med Resort zeros in on the positive aspects of human experience. Positive psychology was developed by the American psychologists Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and studies ‘positive human functioning and flourishing on multiple levels that include the biological, personal, relational institutional, cultural, and global dimensions of life’. It builds on an individual’s strengths and focuses on success and wellbeing.
