EMDR therapy Purmerend
EMDR therapy in Purmerend focuses on processing traumatic events that continue to burden you emotionally or physically. This effective treatment method helps reduce the emotional burden of traumatic memories and associated tensions. During sessions, you work safely and systematically on releasing anxiety, stress reactions, and flashbacks.
Quick start, no waiting time
At JongStressVRIJ in Purmerend, we understand that waiting for help isn't always an option. That's why you can usually see us for an initial consultation within a few days. You don't need a referral, and we keep the threshold low—no complicated intake procedures. We take the time to listen to your story, listen without judgment, and explore together what you need to regain control and peace.
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.
