EMDR and wingwave®

EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on the trauma memory while experiencing bilateral stimulation (usually eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotionality of the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method that has been shown to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes and shows that EMDR therapy is a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addiction and other stressful life experiences. The wingwave method is founded by two psychiatrists from Germany, which combine EMDR with the kinesiology test. 

Neuro-linguistic programming

NLP was founded in 1975 by the linguist John Grinder and the mathematician Richard Bandler and established as a communication concept that is used for change work. Excellent therapists such as Virginia Satir (family therapy), Milton H. Erikson (hypnotherapy) and Fritz Perls (Gestalt therapy) were observed by Grinder and Bandler and everything they did was recorded in a behavioral model. NLP is an instruction manual for the brain, which is based on the most precise observations of human behavior and whose change work is based on very precise and efficient interventions. 

NLP has been included in the list of recommended forms of therapy for short-term therapy by the “German Society for Psychotherapy” for some time now. 

Magic Words

“Words are the most powerful drug that mankind uses” - Rudyard Kipling/ The Djunglebook

Words trigger feelings and reactions just by thinking, listening or saying them.

The Magic Words Method works by using the brain in a targeted way and directly addressing our nervous system. Through mental “enchantment”, stress words and beliefs are positively charged and the success is immediately measurable.

I particularly like to use this method in coaching children and young people, as the “embellishment” of words is a lot of fun. Suddenly the “homework” or the “math test” loose their frightening effect.
