H-M Group

The H-M Group is a therapeutic group with an educational orientation, aimed at adult men and women who are concerned with (or have been seriously affected by) health issues related to cardiovascular diseases or risk factors for the development of cardiovascular conditions, such as Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity, Smoking, Also included among the modifiable risk factors are psychosocial factors, such as Personality type, Chronic stress, Depression.

The scientific activity in the field of Heart-Mind relationships is explosively increasing and focuses on the deeper understanding of the role of psychosocial factors in the pathogenic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. Of particular clinical and research interest is the dialogue between Neuroscience, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Psychology, and Cardiology, especially in understanding the relationship between psychological trauma and cardiovascular morbidity in cases of post-traumatic stress.

By utilizing modern research on the connection between Mind and Body, we will aim to intervene in the risk factors through increasing awareness of how we relate to the significant others in our lives. We will focus on conscious lifestyle changes that will enhance satisfaction with daily practices, aiming for a new meaning in our choices.
