How it works

The practical treatment

The sessions of the Directed Emotion Therapy take place during 10 consecutive working days; It always starts on monday and last about 2 and a half hours, every day, at the same time. Each day has its own programme, although the experience and feelings of the patient remain the main focus. Each day starts with a talking session, followed by the therapy. The client rests on a bed/couch while being blindfolded. After an easy relaxation exercise, the therapist leads the ‘patient’ via guided fantasy back to the early childhood. The old memories slowly return and the corresponding emotions, which finally have a chance to be expressed.

Most of the time the gained consciousness of causes will immediately change the client’s attitude towards life; sometimes it takes longer. Gradually through the therapy the experiences intensify and old tensions are being actively discharged, enabling the healing process. The ‘patient’ learns to feel what he feels, to name this and to express. Inhibitions are being cancelled. The feeling of relief and release are great. On the last day we discuss the healing process of the therapy in the weeks to come and the partner is invited to join.

The three months reaction cycle

All that what has been freed from the subconscience , needs to be coped with; This takes about six weeks. Followed by an adaptation period, which also takes about six weeks. There is a flow (wavelike) of good and less good moments, ups and downs. The client feels resistance against the ‘old’ programming. Guidance is needed in this period. After about 3 months the emotions stabalize and a new balance occurs. One often doesn’t remember how it was before therapy.

Counter effects

In case of drug use, alcoholism, use of tranquillizers and sleeping pills, this therapy will produce less or no effect. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy in view of the unborn baby and a different hormonal state of the mother.

Primary analysis

Before the therapy there will be a, free of obligation, analizing consult. This consult will determine whether this form of therapy will be useful for the client and what result can be expected. This consult will take about 2.5 hours, costs € 135,-- including tax and will be payed in cash.
