Impactful events can disturb your life, even years after the event...

Maybe something happened that thoroughly upset you, and now you don’t feel as comfortable in other parts of your life as well. Maybe you did try to process it, for instance by talking about it, but somehow your life just doesn’t get back on the rails. You feel listless or restless, down, or you have to force yourself a lot to remain positive, and all of that costs loads of energy.

An impactful event can generate a lot of emotion. My experience is that people wish these emotions away, often because it is so confronting or too much and too overwhelming. And that is when such an emotion behaves a bit like a stubborn message that doesn’t want to leave your inbox.

Symptoms

Not fully listening to stored messages in your internal inbox can result in all kinds of vague symptoms. Maybe you recognise some of it yourself, like: sleep issues, low energy levels, or your patience with yourself or others may run out sooner than usual. Sometimes you rest too much, sometimes way too little. Frequent anxiety and worrying are other symptoms.

Acceptance, trust, power and love

Do you hope to feel trust in yourself again? And that you can also feel that trust in the relationships you have with people around you? Would you like to be able to believe in yourself, your work and really stand tall in your power?

Do you have difficulty with acceptance? Feeling like a loving person?

Hello!

I am Carolien, therapist and life coach.

As a sensitive, a little shy, a little low on confidence child, I already remember wondering why I could not be like other kids: be confident, just have fun, just do nice things with others. Instead, I was easily emotionally overloaded. I was always ‘switched on’ in an alert state. I was alert to understand and fix the problems I saw around me, and that was not the stuff I could have any control on at that age. I would worry a lot in an attempt to do things right.
I had no idea why I was like this. I was trying so hard to be ‘normal’, and change my behavior and emotions.

When I started therapy, I noticed that that child that I remembered, also changed. I remembered more of how she really felt, the decisions she made, and the way she saw the world. And gradually I could change these things with her by just allowing her to explore her feelings, and the origins of them. I noticed the changes I made for my younger self, in my life as an adult as well – more lightness came into my body, my emotions and my head. I saw everything more calmly, positively and the problems I faced didn’t seem as huge as I saw them earlier. So along with the child I remembered, I had changed my own views of the world and had let go of old tensions, fears and worries.

This type of therapy came in my life after having tried talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. These both helped a lot, but I noticed that I would still get stuck. A setback meant having to start over with training myself to think and behave differently. And sometimes that felt too difficult to do. Finally with Emotional Freedom Technique and Inner Child Matrix work, I could let go of the emotions and thoughts I had been struggling with. From the root.

When I had experienced this therapy, I wanted to really learn it to help others too. It was too good an experience and I wished others could experience it too.

Since 2020 I have specialised in EFT tapping, Inner Child Matrix Reimprinting, and NLP. I started seeing people who worried a lot, sometimes had difficulty trusting others, felt their friends let them down, or didn’t reciprocate their friendship, had low confidence in their career because of job loss or rejections, or, had great confidence but still experienced blocks to reach where they wanted. Others had problems figuring out what they really wanted in the first place.
Each of these people had related unprocessed impactful events in their lives. They cried and learnt along with their younger selves, discovered how to love their younger self so they truly felt loved.
And that love, opened up a whole new world to them. They discovered that offering love to yourself, and being loved by yourself, is the key to receiving all things good more fully, and to be able to truly give without needing anything in return. And guess what? Their relationships improved – with parents, siblings, friends. They discovered what they really wanted to do, and developed faith if they didn’t yet know how. They were able to attract the life they wanted.

As a therapist, I am blessed to be able to witness how each person has a treasure in themselves of wisdom and love, and it is an honor to work with each of them.

A big leap forward in 6 sessions

More peaceful in ’trigger’ situations

By feeling emotions fully and processing impactful events, emotions become less intense. That means you don’t get shocked by your emotions, or, if you pushed them away, it means you won’t feel the need to do that so much anymore. You know what to do with your emotions now! Even if something challenging happens in the future.

In your daily life you will notice that you will get triggered less often, and that you will experience less emotional upheaval.

Less disturbed by unhealthy survival strategies

Do you eat to feel good? Do you watch tv to not have to think or feel? Do you get lost on instagram for hours at a time? When we don’t want to feel something, we can escape in unhealthy behaviours.

It is possible to overcome these. We discover how they appear for you and work with them, such that you will end up not needing your unhealthy strategies, and if they pop in sometimes you will be able to recognise who’s here.

More space in your head & lighter in your body

Do you easily feel overwhelmed by emotions like sadness or anger? Do certain thoughts keep you constantly occupied in your mind? Do you worry a lot?

Processing emotions is the fastest way to get a clear mind, and a body that feels so easy and light as if you just got a new one in the store.

Additional benefits? You have more space to connect with others.

Clients about their experiences

Testimonials

Before we started our sessions I had anger issues and also self doubt, anxiety and shame held me back from promoting my business and to speak in front of a group of people. Even though I had help with various coaches and therapists, a part of the shifts I’m noticing happened because of the support from Carolien. I’m now able to be around family members while maintaining inner peace, and promoting my business and speaking in front of a group of people with more confidence.

Rohini Master45 years

Today you really got all myself back. You helped me dig deeper to understand all my childhood traumas which were the real issue, to keep me stuck in the past. Just wanted to say that I noticed a real difference in my relationship with my parents and myself. I'm sure that a definite shift / transformation has occurred in me. I was so impressed with our sessions and the work you do.

Every session, we reached a different level of understanding.

Today I am experiencing my real independence which I was seeking.

Archana Shirsat

From the very first session, I could see how unprocessed emotions were navigating my life. EFT tapping was an incredibly useful tool to release them. As we go through life, at times we have experiences which we don’t know how to deal with, emotions that we have not even named and yet carry them within for years. Unknowingly they become the guiding force of our lives. Dealing with such emotions can be murky, confusing and overwhelming. Carolien helped me figure out things at my own pace with immense compassion and inputs which lead to a lot of simple yet powerful insights.
