Treatment of burnout syndrome in Switzerland

CorSwiss, in partnership with one of the world's leading rehabilitation centers, Kusnacht Practice, organizes burnout syndrome treatment in Switzerland at the highest level.

EBS reduces productivity and drains a person of their energy, leading to feelings of increasing helplessness, hopelessness, cynicism, anger, and resentment. Ultimately, they may feel like they have nothing left to give.

Most of us have days when we feel bored, overwhelmed with work, or like we're not appreciated, noticed, or rewarded, even though we juggle things like virtuoso performers just to make it to the bed. If a person constantly feels this way, there's a high likelihood they're experiencing burnout syndrome.

Symptoms of burnout include

1. Desire to escape
2. Inner emptiness
3. Growing indecision
4. Unstable or inadequate emotions
5. An "I don't care" attitude
6. Feeling of losing control over your life
7. Decreased motivation, including reduced social contacts
8. Reduced interest in things that you used to enjoy, including food, sex, and entertainment
9. Physical problems, such as increased heart rate, recurring or prolonged illnesses, chest pain, allergies
10. Depression
11. Anger
12. Panic attacks
13. Increased use of alcohol and other drugs

How stress can lead to burnout

Stress itself is the result of how you react to stressful stimuli present in your life. Stressors can include workplace problems, job loss, financial difficulties, conflicts, heavy work/schoolloads, or the loss of a loved one. Different people react to these stresses differently, which is why individuals in the same situation can experience varying levels of stress.

Stress is not burnout, but it can lead to burnout. When exposed to multiple stressors and lacking healthy coping mechanisms, a person can experience intense and increasing stress with each new stressful situation. If a person continues to experience stress and does not process it properly, they may be on the path to burnout. While the term "burnout" is often used in relation to the workplace, it is applicable to other life situations. Burnout occurs when a person can no longer function adequately and has no physical, emotional, or mental energy left.

One unique aspect of burnout is the variance in how people handle stress. The number of stressors affecting an individual determines the magnitude of their stress. The process of managing this stress influences how they perceive stress and how close they are to experiencing burnout. One person may be exposed to a minimal number of stressors but struggles to cope with stress, potentially leading to burnout. Another person may face a high volume of stressors but effectively manages each of them, reducing their stress levels and never experiencing burnout.

Damage from burnout

Burnout brings many losses that often go unnoticed. Unacknowledged losses absorb a lot of energy. Trying to protect yourself from the pain of these losses requires enormous emotional control. By acknowledging these losses and allowing oneself to grieve them, one releases energy and opens oneself to healing.

Burnout can be characterized by the following

• Loss of the idealism or dream you started your career with
• Losing the role or identity that your job originally gave you
• Loss of physical and emotional energy
• Loss of friends, sense of community and fun
• Loss of dignity, self-respect, sense of control and power
• Loss of joy, meaning and purpose that make work and life fulfilling

It is important to recognize that burnout develops from a combination of physical, psychological, biochemical, genetic and social factors. Our goal is to identify the root causes of addiction and restore healthy self-perception and coping mechanisms so that our clients can lead normal lives.

We treat the whole person: body, mind and soul

1. Our main task is to identify and treat the main causes of burnout syndrome - physical, psychological, biochemical and social.
2. During the client's hospitalization, we conduct a full medical examination, all biochemical tests, as well as a psychiatric examination.
3. Based on the examination results, we develop a detailed treatment plan.
4. Following this, you are accommodated in luxurious apartments or another agreed-upon place of residence, where you will be the sole client.

Treatment for burnout in Switzerland may include some or all of the following:

1. Detoxification aims to rid the body of toxins that have accumulated from the environment, food, water, and medications. To achieve this goal, various methods are employed, all under medical supervision.
2. Laboratory analyses are conducted to determine the biochemical and neurochemical imbalances of each client. Based on these results, we generate a computer-generated formula of micronutrients and amino acids to restore the biochemical and neurochemical balance. This formula is as unique as the client's fingerprints. The laboratory data is also used to determine the menu prepared by the client's personal chef to maximize the restoration of biochemical and neurochemical processes.
3. The Balancing Life Project therapy is aimed at helping the client define their life goals.
4. Psychotherapy is used to identify and treat the underlying psychological issues that led to addiction and other mental, personality, social, or family problems identified in the treatment plan. Psychotherapy may include:

• Cognitive treatment methods
• Clinical hypnotherapy / trance work
• Mindfulness practice
• Somatic experiences
• EMDR to remove triggers and stressors
• Positive psychology
• Family therapy

5. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) - the use of magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to alleviate symptoms of depression.
