EMDR Therapy at JongStressVRIJ
EMDR therapy is a recognized treatment method for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other complaints arising from shocking or traumatic experiences. The therapy helps you process traumatic memories so that they lose their emotional charge and you can move forward again.
Quick start, no waiting time
At JongStressVRIJ, we understand that sometimes help can't wait. That's why you can usually see us for an initial consultation within a few days. You don't need a referral, and there's no lengthy intake process. We create space for you to share your story, without judgment, and together we'll explore what you need to find peace again.
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.
EMDR is a scientifically recognized treatment method and is included in the Dutch Mental Health Care guideline for PTSD. The EMDR Association Netherlands (VEN) sets quality standards for certified therapists. Worldwide, EMDR is recommended by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). Read more information on the website of the Trimbos.
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 toddlers and preschoolers, children, and (young) adults. Learn more about EMDR for children and EMDR for toddlers & preschoolers read the on the relevant page.
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.
A personal and safe approach
What clients often appreciate about our approach at JongStressVRIJ is the small-scale approach and the personal touch. You'll always receive guidance from a single therapist. We work in a calm, safe environment—whether in person or online at your home. We believe in genuine attention, without labels or stigmas. Just you, as you are, with room to grow.

ReviewsI am incredibly happy that I ended up here. The loving approach and the personal guidance. This is exactly what I needed. I went through the process together with Joyce, and I can recommend her to everyone! We worked hard together on my recovery and I am eternally grateful to her. For good guidance, you are absolutely in the right place here, which will benefit you for your entire life!
A safe place where you can express and discuss your deepest thoughts and feelings—that's how I would describe Jongstressvrij in Tuitjenhorn. The feeling of trust has been overwhelming. Emotionally stuck around the age of 50, I started working with Joyce on my life path. Each session was perfectly tailored to what I needed at that moment. Now I feel so much lighter and stronger in life. I would recommend Jongstressvrij to everyone.
