Nadia van den Arend: “I can now do day-to-day things and social activities without coming home extremely tired. I can more enjoy my children and life itself!”
Through the UWV (Employee Insurance Agency), I was allowed to follow a modular service. At that time, I had no job and had been home for some time with a WIA (Work and Income according to Labour Capacity Act) benefit. My partner had attended a neurofeedback training course at a clinic through his work, from which he benefited greatly, and I wanted the same. On the internet, I started searching for a reintegration agency combined with neurofeedback/neurotraining and that’s how I came across Dynamisch Bureau. When I had also met my coach of choice, I knew that I had found the right agency and the right coach!
When I think back to the start of my journey, the most striking thing is that I was constantly ‘on’ and could not relax properly. Sound and light always came very strongly to me, so I was also easily startled and often had a tense attitude. Since I have three children, I often found myself in places with a lot of stimuli. I often came home tired and overstimulated.
I had previously attended 2.5 years of therapy to break patterns in my life and take better care of myself. The most valuable thing I have learned is learning to take control of my own life. However, after attending the therapy, I continued to suffer from fatigue and irritability. My employment expert at the UWV agreed with me that I needed something extra after my therapy.
I have experienced neurotraining as an easy, enjoyable and effective training. I could follow the training through an app on my own phone, whenever and wherever I wanted. The only commitment was that I followed the training several times a week. After completing about three quarters of the training, I first noticed a difference when I was in the pool with my children and partner. Where I used to be quickly tired by the amount of stimuli and could therefore quickly lose sight of my children, I now noticed that I could both keep a close eye on my children and have a conversation with my partner. Previously, I had to choose one of the two. Also, when we went home at the end of the day, I noticed that I wasn’t tired. Apparently, my head was able to process the stimuli well while it also had to perform other tasks.
I can now just do everyday things and participate in social activities without coming home extremely tired. I can more enjoy my children and life itself!
I see my future positively, I can handle more than before and enjoy things more. I also give you the chance to feel ‘lighter’ and more relaxed in life through neurotraining. It is a safe method with which you can definitely notice a difference after a short time (about 6 months) with minimal effort. Give yourself a calmer head, read up on neurotraining and be sure to embark on this adventure!
