Psychological aid

Millions of people facing difficult experiences and stress need psychological support. In these tough times, the level of stress and anxiety rises, so people sometimes find it difficult to cope with it on their own due to a lack of stress management skills.

It is essential to take care of your mental health: take relevant measures in the early stages of stress, as it can lead to inevitable consequences.

What is MBSR?

The eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program has a strong evidence base and covers thousands of studies stating that the human brain is flexible and capable of change. This ability enables any person to develop effective self-regulation skills. The latest research proves that the MBSR course is as effective against anxiety disorders as taking the most effective medicines.

MBTSR - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, is an intervention developed on the basis of MBSR, TSM and MBTR, designated for both mindfulness coaches and those experiencing severe stress.
