platoniq

What problem does platoniq solve?

Loneliness and stress reinforce each other: without social support as a buffer, pressure becomes harder to bear. That often leads to withdrawal, which deepens loneliness further. Unconscious relationship patterns frequently block the very closeness that would help.

How does the programme work?

Rather than arranging more contacts, platoniq works on these inner patterns. Over six weeks, participants learn to recognise and change their relationship patterns and build a social network that holds even in stressful times. The programme is a certified prevention course reimbursed by German statutory health insurers at 75 to 100%, without a prescription.

Usage and formats
