The Herzog Method changes our evaluation of situations and specifically creates new behaviour patterns. As a result, illnesses can be prevented and cured. The scientifically proven emotional training treats anxiety, stress, depression, sleep disorders and insomnia as well as addictive behaviour, such as obesity or nicotine addiction both in a preventive and acute manner.
The method was developed together with numerous doctors, psychologists and scientists and evaluated by the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich and the psychiatric university hospital in Giessen. Today, the concept is being continuously developed in the form of the app in order to help users even more effectively and ensure an optimal customer experience.
Dagmar Herzog developed the first emotional training in 1980 and founded the Herzog Method.
Many years later, her daughter Verena Herzog-Pohl decided to revisit her mother's work and integrated her mother's audio tracks into the LUMEUS app.
In 1980, Dagmar developed the first emotional training program, "Mental Weight Loss Training", to get rid of an eating disorder herself. She recognized that addictive substances such as alcohol, cigarettes or food are always associated with positive emotions and therefore used her method to reprogram the subconscious through targeted training with emotions.
The Herzog Method has now been scientifically validated and has helped over 300,000 people.
Dagmar's daughter Verena decided to take up her mother's life's work and is responsible for the further development of the Herzog Method.
She digitalized the method and integrated the audio training into the LUMEUS app.
Together with Dagmar, she also developed the "Emotional Children's Training" to teach children that they can control and cultivate positive emotions themselves and reduce negative emotions such as stress or anxiety.
After situations of crisis, positive emotions help to promote resilience and protect against depression.
Positive emotions help improve cognitive skills such as memory and concentration.
Positive emotions cause the release of hormones in the body that increase the activity of immune cells and protect us from diseases.
Positive emotions have a positive effect on our own environment. They make us friendlier and more open to new relationships.
Positive emotions have the unique ability to calm the body and increase well-being.
Science shows that positive emotions are associated with healthier behaviors, better sleep patterns, and healthier eating habits, all of which contribute to overall physical health.
