Restlessness, risk-behaviours, ‘checking out’ and/or seeking continuous distraction originate in not wanting to experience our feelings.

The feelings we are trying to run or disassociate from vary per person. The one runs from fear, the other from sadness, another from boredom, and someone else from deep shame.

The more feelings we have stuffed into us, the more extreme our restlessness, our risk-behaviours or our ‘checking out’ will be. After all, the more there is we don’t want to feel, the more we have to do not to feel it.

To break this cycle, we will uproot a lot of the emotions you have stored in your body and feel them out.

I will feel them with you so we will be going through the same experience. Because there will be two of us processing your stuff, an accelerated and powerful healing will take place. If, for whatever reason, you are not capable of feeling a particular emotion at that moment, that emotion will flow through me. This way it will be released, just not by you at that moment.

This will restore calmness and peace in your thinking and acting.

Just like emotions can push you towards seeking distraction, thoughts can do as well.

Thoughts can distract you in two different ways. They can be too pleasant, and make you disassociate from the world so you can go live in a self-created safe, but unreal, daydream.

Or they can be too cruel, leading you to continuously seek out distractions so you can’t hear them.

In both cases, they take away your focus from the here and now and place it either in Lalaland or in compulsive activities.

The solution is the same: emptying out the mind by ‘deleting’ both: the 'too pleasant' and the unpleasant thoughts.

We will achieve this through parts work and stream-of-consciousness writing.

This will create more space in between your thoughts, allowing you to focus for a longer period of time, without your instinct for daydreaming or compulsive activity kicking in.

Energy healing is the practice of working with the subtle energy field of the client in order to clear out energetic imprints.

An energetic imprint can either be the energetic signature of a certain pattern or the energetic equivalent of the mental-emotional blockages (due to for example a trauma, unconsciousness, or insecurities) or physical pains a client has.

These energetic imprints cause tiredness or distress and prevent you from doing the things you want to do.

To clear them out, I either move the energy with my concentration and my hand movements or I will attune myself to your energy system, and start processing blockages you have there, by taking them over and letting them move through me, thereby releasing them from your system.

An emotional release might then take place in you, in me or in the both of us, such as crying or experiencing a wave of irritation or anger.

By clearing out your energetic imprints, the energy in your field that was previously blocked will start flowing again, leading to an increase in vitality and mood, and less resistance in daily life.

If you feel distressed I will conclude the energy healing with a distance reiki treatment, in order to charge up your system with a high frequency energy. You will leave the session feeling more relaxed, happy and clear-thinking and you will have a good night’s sleep.

Being too mental, in the sense that we have too many (useless) thoughts, and not being mentally developed enough, in the sense that we have difficulties engaging in strenuous mental activity, are both AD(H)D symptoms.

The reason behind these problems is that we have lost touch with our bodies, and live like a walking head. When this happens, too much energy accumulates in the head, instead of being spread out evenly over the whole body.

Paradoxically, having too much energy in the head makes us weaker mentally since we (over)produce useless thoughts that consequently exhaust us and leave very little room for productive thinking.

To get rid of this, we must work with the body. Techniques that allow us to do this are for example (intuitive trigger point) massage, breathwork, stretching, systemic bodywork, tapping or just focusing on the sensations that arise within us.

Exercise or any other form of movement are amazing for your health, but aren’t bodywork. They are oftentimes a ‘mind over matter’ activity that do not help us dissolve old emotional residue (except for stretching). The more bodywork we do, the more we spread our energy evenly out over our body, allowing our mind activity to relax. A relaxed mind does not create unnecessary or anxious thoughts, which in turn increases our ability to concentrate as well as our energy levels.

We all have ‘parts’ living within us that can best be described as sub-personalities.

These ‘sub-personalities’ are created over the course of our lives as a reaction to judgments, compliments, successes, and failures. Each part has its own agenda for you and its own strategy of how to get to its goal, which oftentimes contradicts the agenda and strategies of the other parts.

What each part also has, is a voice that produces thoughts and emotions in you.

One way to look at AD(H)D is that you have too many of these parts living within you, leading you to distract yourself, to procrastinate, to constantly move and ruminate.

By taking out these parts one by one, talking with them, understanding their strategy and agenda, feeling out the emotions behind their thoughts and actions, you will process them and let go of the thoughts they produce in your head.

The result will be significantly more mental-emotional space in you and control over yourself and your life.
