PSYCHOTHERAPY

Individual psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy will help you work on resolving issues arrived at during the contracting phase.

  • psychodynamic psychotherapy (usually one session a week), or:
  • supportive psychotherapy (usually one session every two weeks)

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is aimed at solving intrapersonal conflicts, causing problems in daily life, relationships, work.
Supportive psychotherapy is aimed at developing new coping strategies.
medication is part of the treatment if necessary.

Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)

Post-traumatic stress (PTSS) can be treated by Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)
Symptoms of post-traumatic stress:

  • flashbacks or re-living traumatic events
  • nightmares and insomnia
  • irritability, anger or emotional numbness
  • avoiding any trigger related to the trauma
  • shame or guilt
  • self destructive behavior such as substance abuse

EMDR is a procedure that desensitises the neural networks responsible for the combination of traumatic memories, emotions, negative cognitions about the self and physical arousal. read on: www.emdr.com

Pesso-psychotherapy (PBSP)

Pesso-psychotherapy or Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) facilitates core human processes and the satisfaction of basic developmental needs that result in a life of meaning and pleasure. PBSP provides a time and a place for 'structures', a symoblic re-enactment procedure that uses the resources of the body, mind and soul to become who you really are.

Pesso-psychotherapy is in my practice offered as an individual psychotherapy.

At the moment I offer client and training workshops PBSP in Holland (RINO-Noord Holland-Amsterdam), Jutland, Denmark, Basel, Switzerland, Prague, Czech republic and Helsinki, Finland to groups of professionals. I am certified by Albert Pesso as an PBSP-therapist, supervisor and trainer. Read on: www.pbsp.com
