Mental Resilience is for people facing prolonged stress, sleep disturbance, mental exhaustion, or the sense that the nervous system simply isn't winding down anymore. Common reasons people come: pre-burnout, depletion after an intense life phase, sleep problems, persistent inner restlessness, or trouble switching off. A medical consultation at the start clarifies whether the format fits. Not suitable: acute psychiatric crises, severe depression, or ongoing inpatient psychiatric treatment – in those cases please discuss first with your treating clinician.

The programme follows three phases: Wind down, Re-sort, Stabilise. The first day brings the medical consultation. In the early days, breath therapy, the Trager method and craniosacral work lower physical tone and deepen breathing. The mental therapy sessions clarify resources, boundaries and priorities – psychologically reflective, optionally with nature or art therapy. The final days build routines that travel home with you: short breath exercises, movement sequences, clear time structures. The closing medical consultation reviews what's changed.

The mental therapy sessions are 60- to 90-minute one-to-one conversations with an experienced coach or therapist. We work psychologically and resource-orientated – not in acute-crisis mode, but in sorting, contextualising and reorienting. Where it fits, we integrate elements of nature or art therapy. The 5-Day Basic includes two sessions, the 8-Day Advanced three. You choose your coach in consultation with our team – Trixi Wolfseher (psychotherapeutic), Birgit Holzwarth (nature), Petra Reindl (communication) or Nele von Mengershausen (art).

Stress rarely sits only in the head – it shows up in sleep, breathing, muscle tension, gut feeling, in a nervous system that's been on alert too long. Breath therapy after Herta Richter, the Trager method and craniosacral work reach places that words often can't: they lower physical tone, release vegetative stress states, and guide the system back into 'rest and digest'. Combined with the mental sessions, the regulation lands in the whole system – not just in thought.

During Mental Resilience the Tannerhof 'Three-Quarter' Half-Board runs alongside – a small, considered breakfast buffet, a light salad-and-soup midday, and a three-course menu in the evening. Organic-certified, regional and prepared by hand, three days vegetarian. Vegetarian preferences welcome on request.

The 5-Day Basic starts at €995, the 8-Day Advanced at €1,250 – each a programme package, excluding accommodation. Included: the medical history-taking and examination, the closing consultation, two (Basic) or three (Advanced) mental therapy sessions, breath therapy after Herta Richter, the Trager method, craniosacral therapy, a classic full-body massage, and an aromatic body wrap – plus the Tannerhof 'Three-Quarter' Half-Board. Accommodation, further diagnostics and additional treatments are billed separately.

Five days are enough to release acute pressure, calm the nervous system measurably and lay down first routines – a good choice if you're short on time or coming for the first time. Eight days allow more room for integration: an extra mental session, more repetitions of breath and bodywork, and crucially time for changes to settle. If you're under sustained stress or want a deeper reset, you'll typically take more out of the eight days.

In the closing consultation we collect the routines that worked for you: a short morning sequence of breath and movement, a clear sleep hygiene, firmer pause structures in the day, a realistic way of handling stimulus density (screens, news, appointments). Many guests plan a booster stay three to six months later to deepen routines or work on new themes. Where useful, we can suggest contacts for ongoing outpatient support – coaching, psychotherapy or naturopath.

Yes – quiet movement is part of the regulation. Walks in the Bavarian mountains, slow hikes, aqua gymnastics and yoga are ideal and support the calming of the nervous system. High-performance sport and very demanding tours go against the aim of the programme – the nervous system should be winding down, not getting more aroused. Our weekly programme includes guided hikes, aqua sessions and movement formats that suit this phase.
