Experiences EMDR online

Annemiek van Dijke and Ilja Seifert, experts at PsyQ Online, share their experience with EMDR treatment in an online environment. Annemiek: “I see so much added value in online treatment, because the client is in his own environment during the therapy”. Ilja: “At a case level we see that what we have come up with works. This was also evident from my N = 1 study: the EMDR treatment was effective. We largely adhere to the standard protocol. The form in which it is offered is therefore different, completely designed within our online possibilities. ”. More about the experience of Annemiek and Ilja?
