Moniek: "I can do the things that really give me pleasure in life again, such as reading books and meeting up with friends."
Before I started cognitive training, I suffered a lot from brain fog due to Long COVID. I was constantly extremely tired and it was extremely difficult to maintain my focus. In the beginning I also had a lot of trouble with my eyes.
Working on my laptop, reading a book or even just watching television was simply hardly an option. My world had become very small and fatigue ruled the day.
During my search for recovery, I saw a review of someone with Long COVID who had benefited enormously from the cognitive training. That immediately attracted me. It immediately appealed to me that at Dynamisch Bureau I not only got a coach for guidance, but that I could also actively do a training that could help my brain physiologically. The choice was then quickly made.
In the beginning, training was really tough. After a session I often really had to lie down and rest to recover. Fortunately, as time went by, it got easier and the training got better and better. What I really liked was that you can use the app
is constantly encouraged and reminded of your workouts. That gave me just that little bit of support to keep the discipline and keep building on my recovery.
I now notice the biggest difference in my daily activities. In the beginning I could hardly look at a screen or read a page, but that got better and better during the process. Of course, that went with ups and downs; The recovery was not an upward trend, but really went back and forth. However, if you persevere, the symptoms will gradually decrease. Now I can do all those things again without having to think about it at all. In addition, I have learned through the process to listen much better to my body. I now feel flawlessly when I take a break
to take a deep breath and really give myself the rest I need.
I now see my future very positively again. At the moment I am already working part-time again, but I am really looking forward to being able to work full days again. Getting my driver’s license is also high on my wish list and I am confident that I will succeed!
At the time, I went completely blind in this Cognitive training. Once I got started, I read a lot of stories online of people who benefited from it, but I also saw that there are people who are very skeptical. To anyone who is still in doubt, I would like to say: please be open to it. The brain is really so incredibly powerful and the cognitive training has ultimately helped me much more than I could have ever hoped for.
