What is practice inter-action?
Practice Inter-action in Maarkedal is a practice for psychotherapy. Within this, I work as a licensed psychologist and licensed psychotherapist. My absolute goal is to move people forward with problems that may come along the path. This can be about acute care issues. Very often, however, it is about concerns that have been lingering for years. People when they come along are really asking to finally be relieved of these burdens. It is therefore my absolute mission to work on this with heart and soul.
What problems can you come here for?
Within my practice inter-action in Maarkedal (Schorisse) I work around a diversity of problems (anxiety, depression, burn-out, mourning, trauma, life questions,...). In recent years I have received a striking number of questions related to anxiety problems. This has to do with the point that cognitive behavioral therapy is a strong therapeutic direction to address these problems. This led me to start an additional practice a few years back: group practice Solta at Oudenaarde. This one specializes in all problems related to anxiety. Very pleasant is that we work together with different colleagues. Indeed, we constantly reinforce each other through the additional knowledge we gain and exchange with each other.
What emphases do I find important in therapy?
For me, the therapeutic processes are real collaborative processes which I hold in very high regard. We have to be good on each other aligned To get well ahead. So our interaction is really a very important key in this!
In this, it is a very conscious choice for me to work from a cognitive-behavioral vision. This therapeutic movement suited me the most because throughout your process you are always perfectly can interpret what you are doing are and why. This is by no means a rigid fact, but does give us together a good view on where we are in our process and why. There is more than enough space anyway to vent and catch our breath, and to go through the process at our own pace. But we don't have conversations to have conversations and not know at the end what exactly we did.
That fact gives the necessary peace, security and the trust along both sides.
Sometimes cognitive behavioral therapy is unfortunately mistakenly viewed as counseling where you are only given ‘homework assignments’ to fulfill. So this is it anything but! If at all we are asked to do something between sessions, it is embedded within our broad collaborative process and thus does not come across as at all artificial as is sometimes posited.
