THE BERNHARDT METHODE

The Anxiety Cure

Until a few years ago, it was said that one should distract oneself or take psychotropic drugs to calm down from anxiety. Special breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, or psychotherapeutic methods in which you learn to face your fears were also frequently recommended. But how up-to-date are all these methods?

The fact is: A lot has happened in the treatment of anxiety disorders in recent years. New insights into the structure and functioning of the human brain have led to entirely new treatment approaches. Instead of psychotropic drugs and confrontation therapy, new mental techniques are becoming increasingly essential to retrain a brain in which fears have become entrenched. These new methods are gentler and significantly more effective than previous treatments. A pioneer in this field is a form of therapy developed in Germany. It has been used successfully there for many years. It is known in professional circles as the Bernhardt Method because it was created by Daniela and Klaus Bernhardt, the two directors of the Institute for Modern Psychotherapy in Berlin.

What’s behind it all and why is it so effective?

When Klaus Bernhardt presented this new method for combating anxiety in his international bestseller The Anxiety Cure, a jolt went through the professional world. Until then, it was assumed that treating anxiety disorders was complex and, above all, lengthy. But this changed when Bernhardt discovered how the neuroplasticity of the human brain can be stimulated with simple exercises in such a way that pathological anxiety is literally unlearned. Special mental training is used, which should be applied for 20 to 30 minutes daily directly before going to bed. Consistently applied, this training leads to a significantly reduced feeling of anxiety after only a few days, even in the case of long-term anxiety patients with severe courses of illness. Of course, how long it ultimately takes to completely overcome an anxiety disorder varies from case to case. But even complete cures within a few months are not uncommon. In the following video, you will learn why this new form of psychotherapy, also available as self-therapy, is so successful.

Why me?

There is a very personal why I work and believe in the Bernhardt Methode so firmly, for I have been struck by panic attacks for too long myself, being unable to ever imagine a life without or beyond. Until I met Klaus.
