Villa Aurea - Wellness antistress center and Hotel in Cortona, Tuscany Italy

The Antistress Philosophy

The Psicoblu Method was created from the belief that the REGULATION OF STRESS and the QUALITY OF LIFE find their fundamental place in the mind. This consists of an integrated, psyche centered system for the knowledge and management of stress for the improvement of the quality of life. The creator of this scientific method is Doctor Marco Bertelli- a researcher at the University of Florence.
During the stay at Villa Aurea, the resources available help to face the most widespread prejudices, guide in the difficulty of definition, provide explanations for the sources of negative stress and describe their consequences favouring the individualization of personal generators and the growth of instruments of control.

All the services develop around a pleasant path of knowledge and defining the way in which each individual thinks and attributes significance, relates with himself/herself and his/her external world, and adjusts the relationship between interests and satisfaction in various areas of life.

THE PRINCIPAL AREAS OF INTERVENTION OF THE PSICOBLU METHOD are:

THE KNOWLEDGE of negative stressful elements and managing them through:

INTERVENTIONS OF EVALUATION:
a) OF THE STRUCTURE OF THINKING
b) OF RELATIONAL ORDER
c) OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE

INTERVENTIONS OF RESTITUTION:
a) DEFINITION OF IDEATIVE PROCESSES WITH PROPOSAL OF ALTERNATIVE PROCESSES
b) DEFINITION OF RELATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH PROPOSAL OF ALTERNATIVE RELATIONAL LIFESTYLES
c) ARRANGEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE PROFILE

CONTROLLING THE PSYCHO-ORGANIC ACTIVIZATION When one is under pressure from stress the body activates itself for defence, fighting danger, or flight from a danger that often occurs with a perception of danger that is superior to the reality of the situation. This activization has negative repercussions in our body at various levels. Through a series of actions it is possible to intervene and control this activization causing its reduction. These activities are Audio Visual Relaxation Therapy, Oxygen Relaxation Therapy, Hydrozone Relaxation Therapy, and Autogenous Training.

THE LIBERATION OF PSYCHO-ORGANIC TENSION The activization of the fight or flight response in front of an unrealistic danger accumulates tension most of all in the muscles. In this case as well there are a series of activities that can liberate this tension. THROUGH Fitness Antistress or Cardiofitness there are a series of physical activities such as using the stationary bicycle or a treadmill where one can release tension.
