What We Treat · Trauma

Trauma, treated without an audience

Something happened, and it did not stay in the past. It returns at night, in a smell, in a sound, in a body that braces before the mind knows why. Trauma and PTSD are treatable, and they are treated best in safety. We offer that safety literally: one client, one residence, a psychiatrist in clinical charge, and not a single stranger in the building.

How it shows itself
  • The event returning uninvited
  • A body braced for a danger that has passed
  • Places, people and subjects avoided
  • Sleep broken by what the day kept out
What we look for first
  • Safety and stability, before anything else
  • Sleep, alcohol and medication, honestly
  • The body: pain, heart, hormones
  • What else the trauma brought with it
How we treat it
  • One psychiatrist, leading personally
  • Trauma-focused psychotherapy, one to one
  • Pacing set by you, not by a timetable
  • A return prepared, not imposed

The past cannot be changed. The grip it has on the present can.

First, safety that is real

Trauma treatment begins with stability, not with the story. There is no group, no waiting room, no one to explain yourself to. Our clinic completes the medical picture, because trauma lives in the body too: sleep, pain, heart, hormones, and what alcohol or medication may have been quietly managing. Only then does the work on the memory itself begin, at a pace you can bear.

Then, the work itself

Trauma-focused psychotherapy, one to one, with clinicians trained in it; medication where it protects sleep and steadies the ground; days with structure, movement and rest in them. Clinical responsibility sits with Dr. med. Jonas Montagna, FMH specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy. Your record stays in Switzerland, under Swiss medical secrecy, and what you say in this house stays in this house.
