I've heard about therapy blankets from various sources over time, from colleagues and patients alike. Several parents of children I treat have often asked me about these blankets. I couldn't really say anything about their effects or applications. That's why I started researching them. Online, I stumbled upon Therapiedecken.de. Now, not only can I answer questions about therapy blankets, but I also frequently recommend them.

I have been using the blanket for several weeks now and find it very comfortable. The blanket envelops you and conforms perfectly to your body. This gives me a feeling of security and protection. This feeling helps me to fully unwind after a strenuous day. For the first few days, I only used the blanket on the sofa in the evenings. Now I use it all night and wouldn't want to be without it.

I can definitely see the use of a weighted blanket for symptoms associated with inner restlessness, nervousness, or irritability (organic causes, of course, excluded). For diagnoses such as anxiety disorders, panic disorder, sleep disorders, dissociative disorders, or even PTSD, I consider therapy blankets to be a real asset. However, one really has to look at each case individually. What exactly does the patient need? So it's not always true that a weighted blanket helps with an anxiety disorder. Instead, it's about finding out together with the patient what helps them. Of course, you can also ask yourself this question.

I will recommend weighted blankets again and again in the future. I work with parents and children, and I can really imagine their use there. Many children have difficulty falling asleep, and the parents lie restlessly beside them, waiting for their well-deserved evening. Both parents and children could really use support for their nervous system.

My personal conclusion is that the blanket can be a great option for many people. A way to relax more easily, to calm down, to feel safe and secure. As self-help or as support for therapy. I will definitely continue to enjoy using the blanket.
