The importance of psychological support for Long COVID and ME/CFS
1. Loneliness: man as a social being
Chronic diseases such as Long COVID and ME/CFS have not only a physical but also a significant psychological impact on those affected. Overcoming these challenges requires a holistic approach that takes both physical and mental health into account.
The basis of accompanying psychotherapy is constant contact with your body and possible overload. Your body sets the pace of the therapeutic process. Many people are also allowed to strengthen this connection at the beginning of therapy.
2. Meaningfulness: the relationship to the illness
3. Self-compassion: the struggle with expecting too much of yourself

In psychotherapeutic support, individual approaches are developed to promote self-compassion despite physical limitations
