Advancing health and return to high performance of Executives and professionals at risk of de-railment.

CLINICAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
INTERNATIONAL AND VIRTUAL

Successful Executives, leaders and “blue chip” professionals have a strong tendency towards the development of a wide range of psychological health, substance abuse, addictions and behavioral health difficulties, clinical burnout, stress related conditions. Physical and psychological problems occur at a statistically greater percentage in the professional and Executive demographic.

Clinically, significant burnout is a regularly observed conditions. It has also been indicated that there is a correlation between career and corporate success in individuals with certain types of personality disorders (often referred to as

The evaluation and proper and effective treatment and rehabilitation of Executives and Senior leaders is a very different clinical process and dynamic than the interventions taken by a corporate E.A.P. program or by non clinical Executive health specialists. Highly successful people often have a very different intra-psychic apparatus than the general population. Developmental psychological narratives are often such that certain types and conditions in their early life stories create what is commonly referred to as hard driving, intense and obsessional ‘type A” personality styles often to a point of obsessionally. At PNEUMA our clinical specialist work has demonstrated repeatedly that the very personality dynamics which created success are the same dynamics which later create career derailment. Such individuals because of their psychological need to constantly achieve and their hyper focus on their careers often live very out of balance lives and unhealthy lifestyles. We have observed a certain degree of both “narcissistic” or a “self-wound” that requires constant overcompensation and an unstoppable ruminative drive towards greater and higher levels of success.  Unfortunately, this is a very metaphorically sharp double-edged sword in that corporate structures, peers and other intimates have substantially rewarded these high achievers for their success throughout their entire lives. The internal script or unconscious psychodrama requires constant achievement. These individuals, unfortunately, have no discernible “end goals” and one success after another is never enough. This is the very real “dark side” of success. Unfortunately, this striving for perfection that is driven by their intra-psychic dynamics is clearly non sustainable and at some point in their career trajectory like Napoleon “will meet their personal Waterloo”. At this juncture the personality structure can manifest itself in severe clinical burnout, serious physical and mental health and/or addiction problems. When this time comes it cannot be re-iterated strongly enough that corporate E.A.P programs and non specialized non dedicated specialist services will be far from effective or adequate.

The PNEUMA executive Recovery Division clinical consultants have a unique understanding of the causation (etiology) of executive health issues, their maintenance and the clinical methods by which specialized healing, recovery and rehabilitation must take place. Our goal is not just symptom removal (which ultimately is a losing strategy) but to engage the Executive/Leader in a bespoke process of recovery, a return  to full wholistic health, the development of a new personal reflective capacity, a re-structuring of the intra-psychic script, a movement towards a healthy balanced lifestyle, an internal capacity for serenity  and a new skill set that allows the executive to return to their professional endeavours and high performance but in a manner that is not neurotically driven and a recipe for failure.

PNEUMA’s executive recovery service offers the following intensive intervention and healing program that is intensive, specialized and unique. We serve organisations interntionally and virtually.

INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVES RECOVERY PROGRAMS

INTERNATIONAL AND VIRTUAL EXECUTIVE CLINICAL LEADERSHIP CONSULTATION AND INTENSIVE CLINICAL COUNSELING AND RECOVERY PROGRAM

(Our program can be delivered virtually to any location in the world).

Corporate “blue chip” professionals, valued managers, executives and C-Suite leaders as previously noted often have very specific and unique psychological dynamics that can make them much more vulnerable than the general population to both mental health, addictions, behavioral health and severe burnout and stress related issues, the “dark triad” personality disorders (narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy). In all of the above situations we offer video-conferenced evaluations and counselling as a primary treatment strategy.

INTERNATIONAL AND VIRTUAL CORPORATE PREVENTION – HEALTH PROMOTION –
EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS

United States based research indicates substance use disorders cost US corporations 81 billion dollars annually and the economic output of the country as a whole 3.73 trillion dollars on an annual basis. Most of the corporate costs relates to lost productivity, absenteeism, turnover, recruitment costs, workplace accidents, healthcare expenses, disability insurance and workmen compensation costs. In addition, statistics indicates that mental health issues cost US industry 225.8 billion per annum. Internet addictions have been estimated to cost US corporations up to fifty-four (54) billion dollars annually. Online pornography addiction costs US corporations up to seventeen (17) billion dollars annually. Compulsive gambling is estimated to cost industry up to 2.7 billion a year.

Our sense is that each and every one of the above noted statistics will be significantly elevated as a result of the Global pandemic.

Sweeping these statistics under the corporate carpet would, to say the very least, be an exceptionally bad corporate non-strategy and business decision.

At PNEUMA we take this dark reality extremely seriously and offer our corporate clients a progressive continuum of interventions to either prevent the issues well before they become problematic or an early intervention strategy when the early signs of addiction and mental health issues begin to demonstrate themselves.
