Sessions are available in English, Spanish, Dutch and Catalan, both in person and online across the Netherlands.
Evidence-Based Trauma Treatment
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect the way we think, feel and respond, sometimes long after the event has passed. Evidence-based trauma therapy helps the brain process these experiences safely and effectively.
We integrate three scientifically supported approaches:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories so they lose emotional intensity. It is widely recommended for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Trauma
CBT addresses trauma-related beliefs, avoidance patterns and anxiety responses. It combines cognitive restructuring with gradual exposure work.
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)
NET is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced multiple or complex traumatic events. It helps organise fragmented memories into a coherent life narrative.
When to Consider Trauma Therapy
You may benefit from trauma therapy if you experience:
• Intrusive memories or flashbacks
• Nightmares
• Hypervigilance
• Panic symptoms
• Emotional numbness
• Avoidance of reminders
• Persistent shame or guilt
• Difficulty regulating emotions
Trauma may result from childhood adversity, abuse, medical events, accidents, relational trauma, migration experiences or sudden loss.
Structured and Professional Approach
Before starting EMDR, CBT or NET processing, therapy includes:
• Careful psychological assessment
• Stabilisation work
• Emotional regulation strategies
• Clear treatment planning
The goal is not to erase memories, but to reduce their emotional impact and restore psychological flexibility.
