The HEIHS Method
​
The HEIHS Method is a structured approach that combines psychotherapeutic depth with medical precision. It was developed to give business owner, executives and high performers not only short-term relief but also lasting stability.
Foundation
We bring together the most important schools of modern psychotherapy – from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and depth psychology to schema therapy, systemic therapy, logotherapy (after Viktor Frankl), and mindfulness-based methods (MBSR).
In addition, we work with models such as the Head–Heart-Gut method, archetypes according to Jung and Moore & Gillette (“King, Warrior, Magician, Lover”), and apply systemic constellation work to make complex patterns visible.
Principles of personal development – discipline, clear goals, and order – flow into the process as well, along with proven systems that can be applied immediately in everyday life.
Integration
We combine this psychological depth with the precision of classical medicine and molecular medicine:
-
Basic diagnostics: blood work, hormone status, micronutrients.
-
Targeted support: evidence-based use of supplements such as iron, magnesium, amino acids, omega-3, or adaptogenic plant compounds to strengthen energy, recovery, and resilience.
-
Extended testing: in rare cases, sleep labs, MRI scans, or neurological tests.
-
Interdisciplinary cooperation: involving specialists such as psychiatrists, endocrinologists, or neurologists when needed.
What Makes It Unique
The HEIHS Method integrates insights from fields that traditionally operate separately. Psychotherapy, hormone therapy, classical medicine, molecular medicine, and systemic work are interwoven here.
Our expertise in influence and persuasion psychology allows us to go beyond understanding – we create real movement with ease. This is crucial for breaking through blockages permanently.
One of today’s biggest systemic weaknesses lies here: professionals work in isolation, addressing only what falls within their own field – while missing the underlying causes in related areas. The result is patients moving from appointment to appointment without ever receiving a clear, coherent plan.
Conventional medicine often waits until problems have become severe before intervening. Preventive steps are overlooked, even though addressing small imbalances early is far easier, more cost-effective, and more sustainable.
Every major problem was once a small one – and this is exactly where the HEIHS Method begins.
Process
-
Hinterfragen (Questioning): Exploring underlying drivers, goals, inner patterns, problems, and unconscious blockages.
-
Erkennen (Recognizing): Identifying symptoms, behaviors, and stress factors; taking initial diagnostic steps if necessary.
-
Interpretieren (Interpreting): Evaluating findings and determining whether further medical assessments with partner physicians are required.
-
Handeln (Acting): Developing a clear, prioritized plan. At the core: psychotherapeutic work and psychological support – complemented by nutrition, exercise, targeted supplementation, and, if needed, molecular medical support.
-
Stabilisieren (Stabilizing): Providing ongoing support over weeks and months; preventing relapse, integrating new challenges into the plan, and taking preventive steps to avoid future problems.
In the sections that follow, we examine the most common crises using specific case examples.
We analyze the first case in depth with the HEIHS Method to show precisely how the method works.
Subsequent cases each highlight a central problem.
​
1. Anxiety (fully detailed – example)
Problem
Mr. A. projects strong leadership outwardly, but internally he is constantly under pressure. Fear of employee turnover and betrayal, fear of losing of status, of tough confrontations, of lawsuits, of cash flow collapses, and of responsibility toward his family. He avoids difficult conversations, sleeps restlessly, and makes decisions either too late or too impulsively. His words: "I have to control everything, otherwise it will all collapse on me."
Intervention
HEIHS Method (explained in depth)
-
Hinterfragen (eng. questioning): Identifying fear triggers and biographical patterns (loss of control, fear of betrayal, fear of failure). Analyzing inner drivers and beliefs systems.
-
Erkennen (eng. identifying): Main patterns: constant alertness, sleep disturbance, avoidance behavior. Screening for generalized anxiety, panic disorders, or psychosomatic symptoms.
-
Interpretieren (eng. interpretation): Differentiating between real risks (lawsuits, cash flow) and internal projections. Additional medical assessment (stress parameters, cortisol, thyroid, micronutrients).
-
Handeln (eng. to act): Psychological sessions using different schools of psychotherapy (cognitive, schema therapy, systemic). Exposure and confrontation exercises in protected settings. Building decision-making and conflict routines.
-
Operational measures: Scenario planning, stress tests, early warning systems. Molecular medicine: targeted support with amino acids, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats—glycine, L-theanine, taurine, magnesium, omega-3, and B complex.
-
Stabilisieren (eng. stabilization): Ongoing support. Integration of new challenges into daily life, continuous relapse prevention. Monitoring of biological parameters and adjustment of supplementation.
Result
Anxiety loses its oppressive power and turns into a healthy warning signal. Thoughts become sharp, decisions calm and confident. Sleep is deep, energy and joy in life return. He handles confrontations with composure, managing cash flow fluctuations and legal risks with a cool head and clear planning. The company runs in a structured manner again, employees feel secure, and the family experiences intimacy instead of tension. He says: "In the past, anxiety held me back – today it gives me clarity without controlling my life."
Addition
Anxiety has many faces: specific phobias such as fear of heights or spiders, panic while driving, financial worries, fear of illness and death, or social anxiety. HEIHS differentiates between triggers and mechanisms, combining psychological work with operational strategies and molecular medical stabilization. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety, but to transform it: from paralyzing and painful to functional, protective, and empowering.
2. Constant stress & Overload
Problem
In the evenings Mr. B. is physically at home but mentally still at the office. He eats standing in the kitchen, lies awake, scrolls through emails, and sleeps restlessly. In the morning his body feels drained, his fuse is short. Decisions are made hastily and later regretted. On weekends he “just works somewhere else.” Intimacy with his family has almost disappeared.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: structured assessment, psychotherapeutic support (sleep-focused), and, if needed, medical additions.
Result
Evenings once again feel like real downtime. Sleep has returned. He starts the day calmly, leads with composure and clarity, without ‘biting-through’. At home, there is intimacy again, humor, and shared plans. His words: ‘I don’t work less – I just work consciously and live again.’
Addition
Extended medical support only when needed (e.g., sleep lab, hormone status). Prevention before intervention.
3. Sleep problems
Problem
Mr. C. lies in bed his mind racing: presentations, risks, emails. At 3 a.m. he’s awake, opens his inbox “just for a minute” – an hour later dawn has already broken. In the morning he’s irritable, by midday exhausted, and in the evening he’s switched back “on.” At home, tension fills the silence as even small things escalate.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: structured assessment, psychotherapeutic support (sleep-focused), and medical additions if necessary.
Result
Falling asleep without the carousel of thoughts, no more waking up at 3 a.m. He gets up before the alarm, remains clear-headed and friendly during the day, a sense of peace has returned at home. His words: “I didn’t search for my sleep – I built it.”
Addition
If progress stalls: targeted medical assessment (e.g., sleep apnea, thyroid, iron).
4. Fatigue
Problem
In the morning it feels like Mr. D. has been run over by a truck. He snoozes three times, his head is foggy, his body heavy as lead. At the office, he stares at the screen, doesn't get anything done. Workouts get postponed, nothing brings joy—he just functions. Evenings mean couch, anything to eat, dozing off, but later still lying awake.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: structured assessment, psychotherapeutic activation and prioritization; if needed, basic bloodwork/hormone testing, nutrient optimization, or (rarely) hormonal support.
Result
Mornings are no longer a battle. A focused work window delivers visible results, with no total crash in the afternoon. In the evening he feels physically tired but mentally calm – sleep comes more easily. After a few weeks, he says: "I'm excited about training, people, and working on my company again. The heaviness is gone."
Addition
Fatigue can be driven by mental, molecular-medical, or hormonal factors. We examine everything – and optimize even when there's nothing medically dramatic.
5. Burnout & Existential crises
Problem
On the outside everything looks perfect: growth, press coverage, applause. Inside he feels empty. Mr. E. gets up in the morning on autopilot, pushes through meetings, ticks off to-dos without feeling anything. In meetings he’s irritable, at home he feels empty. Things that once brought joy no longer trigger anything. Cooking healthy? Exercising? “What for.” In the evenings he sits in front of the fridge or orders fast food, stares at series, goes to bed late and sleeps restlessly. A thought he keeps to himself: “If I didn’t wake up tomorrow, that would be okay too.”
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: structured assessment, psychotherapeutic in-depth study (values, drivers, identity), and, if needed, medical additions/assessments.
Results
The inner fog lifts. He knows again what he gets up for in the morning. Work becomes more focused, slower—and better. He cooks for himself again, gets back on track, and sleeps more deeply. At home, intimacy develops instead of escape. His motto: "I no longer lead out of fear of losing something—I lead again because it means something to me."
Addition
With persistent heaviness, we check for differential diagnoses such as depression, hypothyroidism, or inflammation; treatment remains psychotherapy-led, with targeted supplemental medication.
6. Relationship problems
Problem
Mr. F. comes home, the door closes—and everyone avoids each other. Conversations are about logistics ("Who's picking up the kids tomorrow?"); there's hardly any intimacy. She says he's never really there; he feels constantly criticized. Minor friction escalates: a glance, a sigh, then days of silence. Physical intimacy has become a sensitive topic, and both avoid it to prevent conflict. argument. In the evenings he sits at his laptop, she in the bedroom – two lives under one roof.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: structured assessment of patterns (individually and as a couple), psychotherapeutic support, and medical supplementation if needed.
Result
Conversations become honest and calm. Both understand what the other truly needs—and how they trigger each other. There are set work-free times, small rituals, and physical intimacy again without pressure. Conflicts flare up and subside without ruining the week. His statement: "It's our home again—not just a logistics center."
Addition
For libido/energy issues, a medical assessment (e.g., sleep, hormones, deficiencies) can be useful – psychotherapy remains the core.
7. Porn addiction / Lack of sexual connection
​​
Problem
At night, when everyone else is asleep, Mr. G. reaches for his cell phone. "Just a quick break with porn" turns into hours. The next day, he's tired, irritable, and ashamed—especially in front of his partner. Sexual interaction between them is rare and tense; he avoids closeness out of fear of “failing.” During the day he resolves to stop, but in the evening the habit takes over again. He says: “I know it’s not good for me, but it feels like the only place where the pressure goes away.”
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: structured assessment, psychotherapeutic work on stress, shame, and habits; and medical supplementation if needed.
Result
The night no longer belongs to his cell phone. He sleeps, wakes up clear-headed, and seeks real intimacy again. Conversations with his partner become open, physical intimacy develops without pressure. The urge loses its power; for the first time, he describes freedom instead of struggle. His words: “I’m back in control, and we have an ‘us’ again.”
Addition
For libido/energy issues, a medical assessment (e.g., sleep, hormones, deficiencies) can be useful – psychotherapy remains the focus.
8. Loss of discipline
Problem
Mr. H. used to be known for his rock-reliability. Today every day feels like a battle. In the morning he struggles to get out of bed, projects pile up, and he avoids the gym for months. Instead of answering emails, he scrolls aimlessly on his phone. He puts it this way: “I’ve got everything under control – except myself.” Every little setback intensifies the feeling of completely losing control.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: structured assessment of drivers and blockages, psychotherapeutic support, and the development of clear routines. If needed, basic medical diagnostics.
Result
His days fall back into rhythm. Step by step he builds consistency, exercise becomes a steady anchor, and tasks get done right away instead of postponed. He feels proud again because he is in control rather than just reacting. His words: “I’ve regained my discipline – and with it my freedom.”
Addition
Loss of discipline can also manifest itself in binge eating, drugs, binge-watching, or gambling. We always check whether fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or depressive patterns are the cause behind it.
9. Overdiscipline as compensation
Problem
Mr. I’s calendar is scheduled down to the minute. Sixteen-hour days, every meal planned, every family event tied to to-do lists. Outwardly he appears impressively disciplined – inwardly he feels no joy, only constant pressure. An evening without a plan makes him restless, intimacy with his family remains superficial. He says: “If I ever let go, everything will collapse.”
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: questioning patterns, psychotherapeutic work on fear of losing control and perfectionism, and deliberately allowing space without structure. Medical supplements only if necessary.
Result
For the first time, he allows himself the unplanned. Evenings with his family feel free, without anything falling apart. Discipline remains, but without compulsion – it becomes a tool, not a prison. His words: “I’ve learned that chaos can have its place too – and that’s exactly what made me stronger.”
Addition
Overdiscipline often arises from anxiety or narcissistic pressure. HEIHS addresses this at the root – not the “plan” itself.
10. Procrastination
Problem
The screen is full of tasks – but Mr. J. just stares at it. Instead of writing the strategy, he clicks through news, emails, and social media. The more urgent it becomes, the stronger the paralysis. In the evening, he says, "I'll start tomorrow." But the next day it’s the same story. He isn’t lazy – he’s paralyzed by the fear of making mistakes or not meeting expectations.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: making patterns visible, psychotherapeutic work on anxiety and self-esteem, and building clear structures. If needed, additional medical assessments (e.g., ADHD diagnostics).
Result
He starts right away instead of postponing. Large projects are broken down into small steps, tasks are clearly prioritized. Decisions are made faster, and the feeling of being stuck disappears. His motto: "I'm taking action again – and it feels better than any procrastination."
Addition
Procrastination can also be caused by ADHD, depression, or overwork. We always check whether the cause is purely psychological or if other factors play a role.
11. Perfectionism & compulsion control
Problem
Everything has to be flawless. Every presentation, every email is revised three times. He controls every little detail in the company – employees feel disempowered, projects take forever. At home it’s no different: the lawn cut to the millimeter, the children constantly corrected. Outwardly Mr. K. appears strong, but inside he is permanently tense and convinced: “If I don’t do everything myself, it will go wrong.” But the truth is: he is destroying himself and everyone around him.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: making patterns visible, psychotherapeutic work on self-esteem and the compulsion to control, and gradually handing over responsibility. If needed, medical assessment of stress and sleep parameters.
Result
He is able to let go. Projects move faster, employees take on responsibility, the company grows. In his private life he experiences calm and closeness instead of constant criticism. His words: “I’ve learned that good enough isn’t bad – it’s the key to freedom.”
Addition
Perfectionism can be intertwined with narcissistic patterns, anxiety disorders, or compulsive symptoms. HEIHS addresses this interplay.
12. Health problems & psychosomatic illnesses
Problem
For months he has suffered from heart palpitations, dizziness, and concentration problems. Several doctors have examined Mr. L. and found nothing. “Maybe I’m just imagining all of this?” – but the symptoms are real. He sleeps poorly, can hardly lead meetings anymore, and avoids driving out of fear of fainting. It feels like his body is breaking down, and no one can help.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS Method: structured assessment of symptoms, psychotherapeutic work on the stress system, and, if needed, additional medical diagnostics (heart, hormones, neurological checks).
Result
The symptoms disappear. Heartbeat steady, concentration restored, daily life manageable again. He understands the connection between mind and body and says: "I never thought my head could make my heart sick — and that it could be solved so clearly."
Addition
Many symptoms are functional: real, but without an organic cause. This is exactly where HEIHS comes in – psychologically guided and medically supported.
13. Undetected hormonal imbalances
Problem
Mr. M. is 42, successful, but has been tired, drained, and unmotivated for years. His family doctor said, "Everything's within the normal range." But he senses something is wrong. He forces himself through the day, training isn't enjoyable, and his libido is disappearing. His wife describes him as "constantly absent." He himself says: “It feels as if life is passing me by.”
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: psychotherapeutic assessment, supplemented by targeted medical tests. Blood work showed significantly low testosterone. Treatment in cooperation with a specialist, combined with psychological support to establish new routines.
Result
Energy, joy, and drive return. He's exercising again, actively leading the company, and experiencing genuine intimacy in his relationship. He says: "It feels like someone has given me my life back."
Addition
Hormonal imbalances can affect both men and women (e.g., Hashimoto’s, cortisol, estrogen issues). We always assess the overall picture – not just individual test results.
14. Unhealthy coping strategies
Problem
A glass of wine in the evening to relax – eventually it's two, then a whole bottle. Without alcohol, Mr. N. feels empty and restless. In the morning he is tired, at noon unfocused, and in the evening the same pattern repeats. He knows: "This is how I artificially keep myself going." But the price is high – his health, marriage, and performance suffer. Friends say he seems constantly absent.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: making unhealthy patterns visible, using psychotherapy to provide genuine relief instead of numbing. At the same time, we provided close support during the exit process, and in severe cases, medical support.
Result
The consumption stops, sleep becomes deep and restorative, and he experiences real energy in the morning. Intimacy returns in his marriage, clarity at his work. His words: “I thought I was losing something – in reality I regained everything.”
Addition
Unhealthy coping strategies can take many forms: alcohol, binge eating, excessive media consumption, gambling, and medication. HEIHS always differentiates between causes and patterns—not just symptoms.
15. Inner dissatisfaction
Problem
On the outside, everything seems to be fine: a profitable company, a healthy family, a beautiful house. But inside, only emptiness. Mr. O. describes it like this: "It's as if the lights have gone out." Nothing brings joy—not sports, not family, not success. Instead of gratitude, he feels irritated; every little thing annoys him. Colleagues consider him successful, but he feels like an actor in his own life.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: psychotherapeutic clarification of self-image and drivers, differentiating between depression, burnout, and existential crisis. When needed, close collaboration with medical specialists.
Result
The joy of life returns. Small things—a good conversation, a walk, completing a project—feel alive again. Relationships also benefit: more intimacy, more peace, more serenity. His statement: "I didn't changed everything—but I learned again how to feel it."
Addition
Inner dissatisfaction can have biochemical causes (e.g., serotonin deficiency) or purely psychological backgrounds. HEIHS addresses both dimensions.
16. Isolation / No sparring partner
Problem
On the outside, Mr. P. appears to be rock-solid: an entrepreneur, a provider, a decision-maker. But inside, he's alone. He has no friends with whom he can talk about his fears, no family who understands him. He makes decisions in isolation—every burden remains on his shoulders. In the evenings, he sits in his office or hotel room and says: “Everyone thinks I’m strong – but in reality I’m just lonely.”
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: providing a safe space for honest conversations and psychological support for relief. Step by step, building genuine relationships – moving away from purely business contacts.
Result
For the first time in decades, he has true friends. Decisions feel easier, the loneliness fades. Professionally, he appears more confident, and privately, intimacy develops. His statement: "I'm no longer alone at the top—that changes everything."
Addition
Isolation can arise despite a large network. What matters is the quality, not the quantity of relationships. HEIHS builds bridges between external success and inner belonging.
17. Poor leadership
Problem
Mr. Q. was a brilliant professional, but overwhelmed in his role as boss. Instead of leading, he controlled every little detail. Employees felt restricted, good people left, the atmosphere deteriorated. Meetings were silent because no one wanted to risk saying the "wrong" thing. He himself said, "I do everything myself because I can't trust anyone." But that was exactly what destroyed his team – and his own energy.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: psychological reflection on his drivers, targeted training in communication and delegation. Step by step, developing a leadership approach based on trust rather than control.
Result
He gained authority without exerting pressure. Employees worked more independently, took on responsibility, and contributed new ideas. For him, it meant relief and time for strategy. His statement: "I'm finally leading – instead of micromanaging."
Addition
Poor leadership can be rooted in insecurity, a need for control, or narcissistic patterns. HEIHS distinguishes between them and builds sustainable leadership strength.
18. Employee turnover
Problem
Mr. R. had a growing company – but hardly any employee stayed longer than a year. Applicants were enthusiastic, but once they started, they quit again after a short time. He complained: “I find the best people, but I can’t keep them.” The causes: lack of recognition, chaotic structures, and the feeling of being replaceable. For the company, this meant constant costs, pressure, and stagnation.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: addressing company culture and providing psychological support to strengthen feedback, appreciation, and clear perspectives.
In this case, management training for 10 employees was added.
Result
Turnover dropped drastically. A stable core team emerged, loyalty and motivation grew. The entrepreneur himself experienced stability and peace of mind. His words: “For the first time, I have a team that stays.”
Addition
Employee turnover rarely comes from monetary compensation alone. More often it’s about recognition, communication, and perspective – and that’s exactly where HEIHS comes in.
19. Poor team performance
Problem
The company had good people, but results were lacking. Projects dragged on, deadlines were missed, and clients were dissatisfied. Day-to-day work was chaotic: everyone was working "somehow," but not together. Mr. S. said, "I have a team full of talent—and yet nothing happens." The truth: a lack of structure, no clear goals, no accountability.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: clarifying roles psychologically, building clear goal systems, and introducing structured feedback processes.
Result
The team started working together. Tasks were completed on time, responsibility was taken, clients were satisfied again. For the entrepreneur, it meant relief and trust in his team. His words: “It wasn’t a problem of skills – but of leadership and structure.”
Addition
Poor team performance is often a reflection of leadership, communication, or psychological safety. HEIHS identifies the root causes and creates clarity.
20. Lack of communication in the team
Problem
Between departments there was radio silence. Sales promised clients services that production couldn’t deliver. Emails went unanswered, misunderstandings led to errors and finger-pointing. The atmosphere was toxic – “those over there” became a catchphrase. Mr. T. said: “It feels like everyone is working against each other instead of together.” Clients noticed the tensions, quality suffered, and the team was exhausted.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: making the patterns behind the conflicts visible, creating psychological safety, and establishing clear communication routines.
Result
Mistakes decreased, collaboration became noticeably more relaxed, and information started flowing again. Employees reported respect instead of mistrust, and clients sensed the change immediately. The business owner said: “For the first time, people are talking again – and truly working together.”
Addition
Communication breakdowns often arise from a lack of structure, unspoken conflicts, or mistrust. HEIHS combines organizational and psychological approaches to sustainably resolve these barriers.
21. Lack of development in personality and leadership
Problem
For years, the business ran smoothly, but the managers weren't developing further. Conflicts were avoided, new ideas were blocked, and young employees felt misunderstood. One division manager had been with the company for 15 years but was still working with the same methods as on his first day. Mr. U. said: "They're loyal, but stagnant—and the company with them."
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: personal development, leadership training, feedback loops, and psychological support for reflecting on patterns.
Result
Managers gained new clarity, developed the courage to make decisions, and learned to handle conflicts constructively. The company benefited from greater dynamism and innovation. The entrepreneur said: "It feels as if we’ve set the clock towards the future again."
Addition
Development in personality and leadership is not a luxury, but a foundation for growth. HEIHS combines inner reflection with practical leadership tools.
22. Wrong decisions under pressure
Problem
A young founder made decisions impulsively: euphoria one day, panic the next. Investors lost trust, employees were confused, and millions were lost. In negotiations, he seemed unpredictable—sometimes aggressive, sometimes paralyzed. Mr. V. said, "I know I'm making mistakes, but right now I feel like I have no control." The pressure transformed clarity into chaos.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: psychological work on inner drivers, stress reduction, structured decision-making models. If underlying disorders are suspected, we collaborate with specialists.
Result
Decisions became clearer, calmer, and more understandable. Employees and investors regained trust. For him, this meant no more panic reactions, but rather confident action. His statement: "I can finally make decisions – and live with them."
Addition
Wrong decisions often arise from stress, overload, or unrecognized psychological patterns. HEIHS provides clarity, structure, and emotional stability.
23. Lack of systems & order
Problem
Mr. W. is an entrepreneur with 25 employees and worked 70 hours a week. Everyone came directly to him, no processes were documented, deadlines were constantly postponed. His words: “I’m busy all day, but in the evening I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything.” Chaos ruled daily life, employees were frustrated, and he himself was completely exhausted.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: analyzing the unconscious patterns behind the chaos, building clear structures, and providing psychological support in letting go of control.
Result
He was able to significantly reduce his working hours without any impact on the company. Responsibilities were clarified, processes ran smoothly, and the team worked independently. He said: "For the first time, I feel like the company is supporting me—and not consuming me."
Addition
Missing systems are often not organizational, but psychological in nature. HEIHS combines structures with internal order.
24. Loss of focus from juggling too many things at once.
Problem
Mr. X. jumped between projects: sales, marketing, new products, investors. Everything was started, but nothing was finished. By evening, he was exhausted but restless. He said, "I'm just putting out fires—but not building anything." Employees didn't know what had priority, and projects stagnated.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: clarifying inner drivers, providing psychological support in setting boundaries, and clearly prioritizing a maximum of three topics per quarter.
Result
He gained calmness, structure, and visible progress. Projects were completed instead of constantly being started anew. His words: ‘I’m finally leading the company – instead of being driven by it.’”
Addition
Loss of focus can arise from FOMO (fear of missing out), perfectionism, or internal pressure. HEIHS creates clarity and consistent alignment.
25. Fear of financial loss & liquidity pressure
Problem
Although the order books were full, Mr. Y. couldn’t sleep at night. Every delayed payment triggered panic. He woke up drenched in sweat: “If I can’t pay my people, it’s all over.” Instead of acting strategically, he was blocked, impulsive, and irritable. His family felt nothing but the weight of his worries.
Intervention – Standard (HEIHS)
We worked according to the HEIHS method: psychological work on fears, establishing clear liquidity planning with partner experts, and decoupling identity from account balance.
Result
He gained peace of mind, was able to sleep again, and communicated more clearly with banks and employees. For him, it meant having a sense of security in his mind. His words: "For the first time in months, I slept through the night."
Addition
Fear of loss is not just about numbers – it is often tied to identity, status, and existential fears. HEIHS addresses both the psychological and the financial side at the same time.
