Healthy Emotion Travel writes about the psychological side of travel — anxiety, rest, retreats and the mental health questions that come with being far from home. This page explains the standards behind it.
Who writes
Dr. Lena Hartmann is a practising psychologist and writes every article here. Content is informed by clinical training but is written for a general reader, not as clinical material.
How claims are handled
Where an article refers to psychological research, the finding is described accurately, including its limits. Single studies are not presented as settled science, and effect sizes are mentioned when they matter.
Anonymity
Client material never appears here. Where a case is described, it is composite and unrecognisable, and the article says so.
Retreats and providers
Retreats are described on the basis of published programmes and, where possible, direct enquiry. No provider pays for inclusion, and no free stay is accepted in exchange for coverage.
Corrections
If something here misstates a clinical matter, write to contact@healthyemotiontravel.com. Accuracy on mental health is not negotiable.
