Online training voor moeders van een kind met anorexia, boulimia of een andere eetstoornis

ONLINE TRAINING

The online training helps you as a mother to better deal with the chronic stress that results from having a child with an eating disorder. You probably already try very hard to find relaxation, but you notice that the tension remains. And that you are more surviving instead of living.

 

And that is not at all strange. The idea that your child is suffering from a potentially fatal condition is enough for the nervous system to go into survival mode.

 

The nervous system speaks its own language, and as long as we do not understand it and cannot speak it, the nervous system remains in “danger mode”. With many negative consequences for our well-being.

 

During the training you will learn how to work with your nervous system.

Sharing your experience with other mothers helps with this. Women's nervous system relaxes by sharing feelings and thoughts with others.

 

Sharing helps Healing

Contents

The training consists of 3 online meetings of 2 hours. I share my knowledge and experience, and use different working methods and meditations.

  • Making time and space

 

Meeting 3:

  • Valuable life when life is tough

  • Charge and recover

  • Self love

  • Being able to regulate yourself

Practical information

The online program is suitable if you want to share your experiences and mirror them with the experiences of other mothers. Often the program is sufficient by itself. Although it also happens that mothers have a few individual conversations afterwards or participate in the retreat.​

I found the training/meetings to be very valuable: a kind of 'harbor' where I could dock for a while and where I found a tremendous amount of recognition and understanding. I loved the mindfulness/meditation exercises to ground myself, and writing down answers to the questions you asked us brought me a lot.

The training has given me insights and practical tools: I apply the technique of 'sitting against the backrest of the chair and not immediately jumping into action' several times a day (with varying degrees of success, but I am still learning ;-).

I noticed that 3 sessions flew by. For me, it could certainly be 4 times as well (we would cover everything; we received the final part via email, which is also nice, but I would have liked to 'practice' with practical examples one more time: this works very well for me).

Your guidance is top-notch: respectful, empathetic, and you know how to ask the right questions, which stimulates my thought process; it is not airy-fairy, and it is truly an art that the sessions, despite sharing experiences (which is very valuable), do not turn into complaining sessions: it really feels like sharing equals healing, and that is special. I have previously been in contact with other parents about this subject (a parenting course at the mental health services), and I found that to be a huge disappointment—no connection, just complaining, and above all, not supportive.

As discussed, I would really appreciate a kind of platform where you can get together via thematic meetings (under your guidance).

All in all, I am really very happy that you and your offer crossed my path: I experience it as helpful and supportive.

I found the training enjoyable; there was a lot of recognition and sharing with others. I liked the meditations, as well as gaining more insight into self-care and what I need. Thanks to the training, I have a slightly better sense of what I need to avoid being in "on" mode all day. I also felt more connected to myself and to others through sharing experiences and mutual understanding. I did have to get used to the online mode at the beginning, so perhaps one in-person meeting would have been nice too. Furthermore, I found the content of the training to be good, but a follow-up meeting would have been a welcome addition. It remains a challenge to apply everything in these turbulent times.

Dear Monique ,

I wanted to let you know that the course was very enjoyable for me. It made me realize that peace is important to me and that writing helps me. The insights have really helped me, and I see them as a path upwards. At the end of the evening, you indicated that we could still email you occasionally; this gave me a sense of safety, and that support is very reassuring. Just the thought that I can email you gives me a lot of peace. Thank you very much for that!
