Health coaching: Burnout prevention

Mindfulness-based health coaching was developed specifically for mental health coaching with professionals, students, and employees before and during periods of high stress or exhaustion, during challenging changes, reorientation, and return to work. The coaching and consulting often revolve around:

Prevention or management of work-related exhaustion and burnout
Recovery and healthy distance in the face of chronic stress
Dealing with stress amplifiers (e.g., nervousness, self-motivation, racing thoughts, anxiety/anger)
Promoting self-care and self-compassion
Emotion regulation & conflict prevention
Mindful time management during learning and exam stress
(Re)discovery and establishment of optimization-free lifespan
Promoting concentration and attention
Integrating healthy activities into everyday (professional) life
Initiation and development of healthy habits (Micro Habits approach)

Background:

Health is far more than just an achievable state of physical and mental well-being. As self-care and personal development, health is understood here as a dynamic process linked to learning and self-understanding. Mindful self-reflection, self-trust, and responsibility contribute to this process. Accordingly, the coaching combines systemic resource and solution-focused approaches with mindfulness-based methods (e.g., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Further foundations include the prevention program "Calm and Confident in Stress" by Prof. Kaluza (certified according to §5 SBG-V) as well as current findings from health, motivational, and neuropsychology (e.g., on habits and health behaviors).

Format and frame:

60 minutes per session. Starting in 2022, a limited number of appointments for health coaching will also be available at particularly fair rates (e.g., for students/trainees, job seekers, or those facing challenging life situations). The reduced costs currently range from 60-80 euros per session (subject to agreement and individual circumstances).

Health coaching is also suitable for preparing for, supporting, or deepening an MBSR course. Even independently of an MBSR course, individual support for mindfulness practice can be beneficial, for example, in cases of high time constraints and work-related mobility, which makes a regular course format impossible. Individual coaching is also available online via video conference, especially for those with increased mobility requirements. A combination of initial and follow-up sessions, both in person and virtually, is often recommended.
