Safety Retreat takes a new path
®
“You feel that it requires not just pacing – but a deeper understanding?”
Learn how stress regulation, energy metabolism, and symptoms are connected in our 7-week program.
The tree model illustrates simplified symptoms in the crown and possible triggers in the roots.
Recent research suggests that chronic complaints may be related to deeper causes - in particular to a persistent cellular danger state (Cell Danger Response) and the autonomic nervous system.
Our program integrates the latest findings from neuroregulation and mitochondrial research and opens up new perspectives on complex symptoms.
Because if symptoms persist - even though everything has been clarified - a new approach is needed.
