What content you can activate for your patients in elona therapy

Social skills training
Arrow-Down

The social skills training exercises teach patients the basics of socially competent behavior, support the individual planning of social interactions and motivate patients to improve their social skills. In numerous exercises, patients are also specifically supported in practicing special social skills, such as making contacts or expressing criticism. With the help of elona therapy, patients can plan everyday situations so that they can improve these skills in real life.

CBASP
Arrow-Down

The exercises are based on the CBASP approach and focus on designing interpersonal interactions. This gives patients insights into the Kiesler circle and the possible influence of formative caregivers on social behavior. Patients also learn about situation analyses and are supported in carrying them out. In this way, you can change your own behavior in order to influence your own effect on others and the outcome of situations. The ability to help shape a social situation, one's own ability to conflict and compromise and thus overall experience of success in interpersonal situations should be increased.

ACT
Arrow-Down

The exercises based on ACT offer additional support options for your patients. For example, in addition to the Hexaflex model, well-known metaphors are used (such as The chessboard) and exercises are offered on how to deal with thoughts in an alternative way (defusion techniques for mental distancing). To practice acceptance, elona therapy offers a lesson with psychoeducational elements and imagination exercises. A lesson also offers opportunities to deal with values and value-oriented behavior.

KVT
Arrow-Down

The exercises offer classic content of cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition to psychoeducational exercises on the symptoms and development of depression and anxiety disorders, patients are supported, for example, in working out their own vicious circle, carrying out behavioral analyses and discovering the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior. Symptom diaries and the opportunity to plan and remind you of guided and unaccompanied behavioral experiments through elona therapy are also helpful here.

Relaxation and imagination
Arrow-Down

The relaxation course offers numerous opportunities to support your patients in training relaxation exercises (e.g. using PMR). There are both imagination exercises in audio format, such as Your inner place of security as well as auditory instructions to promote mindful perception both externally and internally (e.g. with the help of Body scans) and re-orientation exercises (such as 54321 Exercise) and meditation exercises.

Elona Therapy

Support at every stage of working with your patients

THERAPY Start

Easy to understand psychoeducation for your patients

Provide your patients with important information about the psychotherapy process, the side effects of psychotherapy and current models such as the vulnerability stress model or the SORKC model. In addition to a simple explanation of the concepts via video, patients also have the opportunity to develop and enter the concepts for themselves.

FURTHER COURSE OF THERAPY

Resource activation and issue update

elona therapy also offers all necessary content in the area of further interventions. In the area of behavioral activation, patients can plan activities or create daily protocols and are also reminded of these. Anxiety patients can record their anxiety curves or prepare for exposure with you. Activate content that suits your patients and, in your opinion, leads to treatment success.

Sample exercises

course of therapy

The upward and downward spiral of depression

module: depression

course of therapy

hyperventilation

module: Anxiety & Panic

course of therapy

The principle of exposure using the anxiety curve

module: Anxiety & Panic

THERAPEUTIC

Recurrence prevention for sustainable therapeutic success

Use the wealth of content about the end of treatment to give patients the opportunity to expand and consolidate the results achieved when treatment expires and a lower session frequency. In this phase, you can activate several contents at once; the treatment plan in elona therapy prepares the content for patients into regular daily tasks in order to develop a routine.

Sample exercises

End of therapy

My personal toolbox

module: depression

End of therapy

Identify your early warning signs and find suitable solutions

Classic behavioral therapists

Do you primarily work in classical behavioral therapy? You can then closely link the content of the respective THERA session with the content in the elona therapy app for your patients. You no longer have to copy or hand out working sheets and can provide central interventions in depression and anxiety treatment via elona therapy.

Schema therapists

Do you primarily work schema-therapeutically? elona therapy offers you the option to “outsource” disorder models and other psychoeducational content to the app. This allows you to start working out the modes with your patients much earlier in therapy and at the same time intensify the therapy for your patients. With the help of relaxation and mindfulness exercises in elona therapy, you can promote inner child mode.

Other third wave methods

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods for depression and anxiety patients can also be activated in elona therapy, as can content from CBASP or SKT for the treatment of chronically depressed patients.
