What exactly is EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's a form of therapy that helps process distressing memories or traumatic experiences. During a session, you're asked to recall a specific event while being distracted with distractions like eye movements or sounds. This often quickly reduces the emotional charge of the memory. Many people notice a difference after just a few sessions.
At JongStressVRIJ, we regularly combine EMDR with techniques from the WEEBER® method, a method we developed in-house. This method focuses on insight, processing, and building resilience. In this way, we not only work on reducing symptoms but also on strengthening yourself.
Who is EMDR suitable for?
EMDR can provide a solution for various complaints. Consider: traumas, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, Grief after loss or bad childhood experiences, such as bullying or neglect. But also if you suffer from fear of failure, perfectionism or persistent tension, EMDR can provide a breakthrough. We offer this therapy for adults, adolescents, and children, with an approach tailored to each person's age and situation.
Common complaints for which EMDR is used include:
- flashbacks or nightmares after a traumatic experience
- fear of failure or being constantly 'on'
- panic attacks or hyperventilation
- persistent restlessness or sleep problems
- sadness or guilt after loss or divorce
- anger or outbursts of rage that you cannot properly place
- a negative self-image or shame
- blockages that can be traced back to previous experiences
Processing these experiences often creates more peace, space and control in daily life.
What is the process like?
After registering, we'll contact you to discuss your needs. Following this conversation, we'll schedule your first intake. During this meeting, we'll discuss your needs and expectations, and determine together whether EMDR is a good fit. If it feels right, we'll begin the process. This usually consists of several sessions, gradually increasing in frequency. Sometimes one or two sessions are sufficient. For more complex issues, we can extend the consultation.
We work goal-oriented, but without rushing. There's time for reflection between sessions, and we'll continually evaluate how you're doing. At the end of the process, we'll look together at how you're maintaining the change—and whether you need anything else to strengthen your skills.
On-site or online therapy
You can choose how you prefer to receive therapy. We offer EMDR at various locations, namely Zwaagdijk-Oost, Zwaagdijk-West, and Tuitjenhorn. Prefer not to travel? Then online therapy via a secure video connection is an excellent alternative. During an online session, you and your therapist can see each other and communicate personally, just like in a face-to-face appointment. This allows you flexibility while maintaining quality and personal attention.

ReviewsI'd like to share my experience with my husband and I about the relationship therapy I received from Joost and Priscilla. Relationship therapy sounds difficult to us, but we recommend it to everyone, even if your relationship is currently strong! We attended therapy with Joost and Priscilla. It was very helpful and comforting to talk together. Sometimes we felt overwhelmed. Joost and Priscilla are very knowledgeable and can summarize topics effectively. We were given assignments to do at home, which we still use in our daily lives. It all sounds so logical, but only when you face it head-on can you work on it. Thank you for your wonderful help!
A wonderful, warm place where they genuinely seek out what I need to move forward. They look at the core of my problems. This has helped me enormously to break through patterns effectively. Besides addressing the core, I also gained incredibly helpful and useful tools to truly change my approach and recognize when I'm falling back into old patterns. After completing my own process, I now also have the honor of helping others in this way. I was trained in the Weeber method by Joost and Priscilla and have become part of this wonderful team. It's wonderful to see and hear that this can make a huge difference in the lives of not only me but also many others.
