Integrated Psychotherapy: Combining Mindfulness, Neurofeedback, and EMDR Therapy

In the Holistic Practice, we offer a holistic, integrated psychotherapy approach that combines Mindfulness, Neurofeedback and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. 

This combination of evidence-based therapies addresses the root of mental health issues - at a cognitive, emotional and physiological level - and helps you to develop self-awareness and resilience skills.​

​

Phase 1: Building a Foundation with Mindfulness​

In the initial phase, we focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance, which is the foundation for any successful therapy. This phase includes a thorough diagnostic process and an in-depth exploration of the development of your condition to ensure a clear understanding of your unique experiences and needs.

We then begin with mindfulness exercises to develop present moment awareness and emotional stability. Through guided breathing exercises, meditation and body scans, you will learn to become more aware of your thoughts, emotions and sensations. Mindfulness promotes calmness and reduces stress, creating a solid foundation for the next phases of therapy.

​

Phase 2: Strengthening Brain Regulation with Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that provides real-time audiovisual feedback of your brain activity. By observing these brain patterns during sessions, you can learn to adjust and optimize your brain function, promoting better focus, enhances emotional resilience, alleviates symptoms of anxiety and depression.​

​

Phase 3: Processing Trauma with EMDR Therapy

Once emotional stability and brain regulation are established, we move into trauma processing using EMDR. This evidence-based therapy reprocesses traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to reduce their emotional impact.

In our integrated approach:

• Mindfulness keeps you grounded during EMDR sessions, promoting emotional resilience.

• Neurofeedback stabilizes brain activity before and after sessions, ensuring a smoother and more effective healing process.

• By combining these therapies, we help you confront and reframe past traumas in a supportive, regulated environment.

Phase 4: Integrating and Sustaining Healing

As the healing process continues, the focus is on sustainably integrating the positive changes into your everyday life. In this phase, we support you in actively applying the skills learnt and insights gained during therapy. As a result, you will develop increased self-confidence and a strong resilience that will accompany you in the long term and support you beyond the end of therapy.

​

To support your healing journey and accelerate the therapeutic process, regular mindfulness practice and the application of learned skills at home are essential. If your current life circumstances do not allow the consistent implementation of these daily practices, this in-depth treatment approach may not be feasible. Active participation and commitment are crucial to fully benefit from the integrated healing process we offer.
