Professional, specialized help
Do you want to put your Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma behind you?
Do you have residual symptoms despite previous approaches, or have you been told that you do not (or no longer) qualify for specialist support?
The past has brought you to where you are today - whether you want to continue with this, you decide for yourself from now on. What we don't resolve - keeps repeating itself.
Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms due to single or multiple trauma (sometimes called complex trauma) does not have to become a conclusion of your life, a situation you have to live with forever.
To be clear I prefer not to refer to the term complex trauma because the term alone has a particularly negative connotation. A person who has been labeled "complex" is often further and unnecessarily burdened by this - something that can be an unnecessary block to recovery.
Check out the website so you can get additional and especially different information about Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS), PTSD, triggers and of course the road to recovery. Possibly the information will first of all give you more recognition, but hopefully also acknowledgement of your personal situation and where you are on the path of recovery.
You are a whole human being and deserve holistic recovery. But, to recover from the continuous hostile takeover of your conscious mind by powerful negative emotions requires expert, empathetic and most importantly specialized professional support.
Do you want to:
A holistic recovery program is a customized, personal program and gives you all of the above and more - through support specialized in Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms - without intervention by third parties, directly and personal.
Beyond PTSD is a private practice - a recovery journey is entirely at your own expense - unless you receive financial support from your employer.
Holistic recovery from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) does not mean that the situation(s) that led to trauma never happened. No, certainly not, but it does mean that the distress from the stuck patterns, the negative stress reactions created by the underlying trauma, are no longer there - so much so that they can no longer define your life.
The decision to seek specialized support can be overwhelming at first. This is especially true when resistance to this outweighs your desire to seek help and support. This may have arisen, for example, from negative experiences with previous professional support you may have had. Also, from fear there may be all sorts of sabotaging patterns present that stand in the way of recovery.
I understand this very well - I myself have experienced the major role that resistance, uncertainty and self-protection can play in the recovery process, but also the important role of self-awareness, self-insight and self-acceptance.
I have also personally experienced the serious and negative health effects that result. My coaching toward your self-healing is rooted in an immense gratitude I have for the given advanced intervention opportunities I am able to work with and for the holistic recovery process itself.
For many years, I have been very interested in the origins and effective resolution of performance problems caused by Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms. I have found that trauma can be multifaceted and compounded. It ranges from an event that is (consciously) happening to the person to repeated (from childhood) long-term exposure.
With my extensive health care and corporate history, as a specialized Coach I work with anyone with Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) due to occupational or non-occupational PTSD and trauma. I have seen that in both groups, not only the request for help, but very much the help itself, can be extremely unclear and sometimes even unnecessarily contradictory.
I use up-to-date, evidenced-based and progressive interventions during an integrated and holistic recovery process. On this basis, the underlying causes (triggers) of stress reactions; emotions, feelings, limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, or (fear) fantasies about the past or the future, form the basis of automatic, reflexive and above all uncontrollable and seriously disturbing Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms, can be resolved.
For as strange as it may sound, resolving Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and trauma is not about focusing on resolving the (negative) stress reactions by which one has been and is continuously burdened.
The body is not only an information network as you will be able to read further more about this on the website - it is also an experiential body. You do feel all kinds of things in your body due to Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and these reactions can lead to all kinds of experiences. However, once again, they are reactions that arise in the body. Reactions to the stress and imbalance created by triggers connected to situations in the here-and-now.
You cannot resolve a reaction at the level where the reaction originated (the body) and not without resolving the trigger, the origin, the source itself. The cause, source, the origin is the trigger. When the trigger is resolved, the stress reaction can no longer occur.
I work from a holistic trauma, recovery framework, where I without judgment
listen to what happened to you and I do not look for what is 'wrong' with you. You do not get pigeonholed again and you do not get another label (tag) put on you.
Integral and holistic recovery from PTSD and trauma goes (much) further than just resolving the triggers of the stress reactions (effects) of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) due to PTSD and trauma.
Everyone comes into the practice with their own situation, personality and life, at the time of starting a recovery program. Standard in this work does not exist and a recovery process is not aimed at changing your personality - rather, it is aimed at you getting more in touch with your Essence - with who you really are and have always been. This gives your personality and the EGO, its proper place in your life and allows you to be more who you naturally are.
Of course, resolving PTSD and trauma symptoms remains central to a holistic recovery journey. A recovery program is therefore aimed at ensuring that after all the adjustments you have made in your life to survive first of all, you can then go back to living your own life. Be yourself again, make your own choices and live your life with courage and guts!
That is why you will be given many tools and you will learn all the andvanced and progressive interventions that are used. This way in the future you will be able to deal with with ups-and-downs in life and support yourself while living your life with a good quality of life.
Holistic recovery from trauma certainly requires a level of dedication and honesty. However, I am convinced that you already have within you everything you need to effectively recover.
I also believe that trauma recovery is based first and foremost on a partnership based on equality. Equality as human beings, in which clarity and openness about the possibilities for holistic recovery are paramount. In short, working together without secrets in confidence on a recovery journey, towards a new future.

I had to search for a long time for suitable help. If you want to get past PTSD, you have to come to you. Your expert approach. Your optimism. Your humour and at the same time your serious view of people as a whole. The result is that I can move on again! I am now the adult woman that I want to be and that I can be Johan, because I dared to take the step to you - thank you!

What I find so special about working with Johan is that it is a very personal approach.
I was always in control - it was all about me. No 'bla, bla' coaching, because the confirmation comes back in the experiences that you see in practice.
This 'different' approach - the route towards it and the fantastic end result really surprised me in a very positive way.
Thanks to Johan I have found myself!

Johan is a very professional and intelligent man who is able to distinguish himself completely by all his knowledge and methods to solve all Traumas permanently but also very effectively. We made a 'journey' together and every time I left the practice I felt better than before. He is the best in what he can do - promises and delivers. I can say this after visiting several psychologists, a psychiatrist and several coaches! Because of Johan I have my life back - it is now living instead of surviving. I am very grateful for that!
- SH -
The result of the recovery process is that I got rid of my fears and now dare to go out into the world and let myself be heard through music, words and photographs. This has enabled me to let go of worldly insecurities, which in combination with the dissolution of my fears has led me on the road to recovery and inner peace. During the sessions I experienced synchronicity, connection, respect and acceptance. Johan also gave me a lot of wisdom.
- NvZ -
Johan is a committed coach who takes the time for his clients without judgement, to really solve things in each session. Already after the first session I noticed a difference in the reduction of fears. Johan's way of getting to the core in combination with the use of Logosynthesis® in particular gave a lot of results and many 'eye-openers'. I know and can now, after many years, experience what it is like not to be constantly tired and living in fear. I would also like to mention that by removing my emotional ballast I automatically started to live healthier and therefore effortlessly lost 17 kg in weight and have much more energy!

Getting people "back on track" is one thing; helping to ensure that they can then drive their train not only in the right direction, but also in the right direction permanently, and then discovering new points and therefore great routes, is fantastic in a word!
- HW -
I would like to recommend you because you are so committed to your work, you have done so much for me, you listen well, you don't get carried away by things, you know how to distil the essence and because no session is boring with you. You have a lot of knowledge, you keep your appointments, you are very pleasant to deal with and you always go the extra mile. Thanks to you I am now able to choose my own path, even if this causes resistance in others.
- CK -
The most surprising thing was that I achieved results very quickly. At a certain point, you have been in a downward spiral for so long that you don't expect it to turn around quickly, and it did.
- AO -
I could have done so much earlier, so much, with these insights and by removing various performance barriers.
Gaining insights about who you are and how you are put together - breaking a circle and going a few layers deeper.
I have experienced your coaching as extremely valuable and I see this coaching process as a clear 'systemic change' for me!
- GVV -
With Johan, in a completely safe and caring environment, you get a better understanding of yourself and you get insights and exercises that really help you to change your reaction patterns and programming from your deepest self.
A coach who works with you and pulls out all the stops to deliver tailor-made solutions every time.
I got rid of an overly heavy coat and that feels liberating.
I always enjoyed going to the appointments, it never felt too heavy or uncomfortable.
- VG -
After a previous approach that did not work, I had no idea what to expect.
I was stuck, there was something but I didn't know what. The problems that were holding me back seemed to slowly ease up during the sessions.
I can't tell you how and why, but I'm glad you helped me and I'm grateful for the result.

Many thanks
for our beautiful journey and
for your unique help.

Good morning, dear Johan!
Thank you so much!
This morning I woke up feeling very competent and in my power.
Something big has shifted.
It seems that a part of me has been 'released' in some way.
This was a good piece of work!
Thanks again!
- MAB -
The whole process surprised me. The approach, the explanation and the tools. I did not expect it to go like this and in the end it has helped me - better than all the other people I have worked with in the past. Through Johan I have gained insight into who I am and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - it has also become clear to me that others are different and that is OK too. My relationship with my children has improved and I am much more able to let things happen. I have enjoyed all the sessions and am very happy that I was allowed to do this!
- SH -
Your approach, your professionalism, your extensive knowledge, your experiences and your pleasant personality have led to me gaining much more insight into others and myself. Because of this I feel much more independent, inner peace and I have become a happier person. I never felt 'professional distance' - you made me feel involved with me and my concerns. Thanks to you, I feel much better and wiser about life.
