Christmas

Yes, individual sessions with our psychologists and psychotherapists do take place during the Christmas period and the week leading up to the New Year. Our specialist therapists thoughtfully incorporate Christmas-related themes into therapy where this is appropriate for the patient. Additional services such as art and music therapy are available to patients who particularly appreciate this time of year.

No therapy sessions take place on public holidays or at weekends, to give patients a break to rest and practise the strategies they have learnt. A nurse is on hand at all times, and the on-call medical team is available round the clock.

We are here to listen to patients who feel uncomfortable with Christmas-related themes. Please discuss your needs with your assigned therapist at an early stage so that the team can take them into account. The New Year’s programmes, in particular, can be helpful for people who wish to focus on drawing a line under the past and starting afresh.

Yes, doctor-led rounds do take place during the Christmas period. Our medical care is guaranteed at all times, and the medical team is always on call.

Yes, the clinic organises various cultural events to make the Christmas and New Year period more enjoyable.

Our kitchen team also puts together a special menu during the Christmas season to help create a festive atmosphere.

Yes, if you’d like to spend the holidays with friends or family, that’s possible. Please discuss your plans with your therapist well in advance so that they can be incorporated into your treatment plan.

There is no Christmas market in Todtmoos during the run-up to Christmas. Instead, during the week between Christmas and New Year, visitors can experience the so-called ‘Winter Village’, which is modelled on a Christmas market.

The Winter Village offers a welcoming atmosphere with festively decorated stalls, a selection of Christmas specialities and handmade gifts.
