Do you know that?

You've already tried a lot: pills, diet, trigger lists, relaxation. Some things help for a while. Then it comes back.

And maybe you sometimes quietly wonder what you're still doing wrong.

It's not about what you're doing wrong. It's about what interacts. Your migraines are rarely caused by a single trigger.

Your body, your thoughts, your feelings, your daily life, and what's important to you all have an effect simultaneously. And behind it all lies... your life storyOld burdens, sometimes even early traumas, can keep your nervous system on high alert to this day.

This evening we will look at this interplay.

What awaits you this evening

The five dimensions of your migraine

  • Body and nervous system
  • Thoughts and inner patterns
  • Feelings and relationships
  • Energy and living environment
  • Consciousness and meaning

You will learn how they interact and which one is currently speaking the loudest to you.

Body and nervous systemHow much tension are you carrying without realizing it?

Tap on a dimension.

You

An exercise for your vagus nerve

You can feel for yourself how your nervous system can calm down. Quite simply, from your seat.

An insight into my work

With one or two participants who are interested, I will demonstrate my working methods live. Participation is voluntary and gentle. Watching is just as valuable.

Time for your questions

Finally, I'll tell you about the retreat on La Palma for those who want to delve deeper, and how you can arrange a free introductory call with me. You can then decide at your leisure whether any of it is right for you.

Who will accompany you through the evening

My name is Emmy Verlaak. I suffered from migraines for twelve years myself. Things changed when I understood that my entire life had shaped my nervous system, especially my early years. And when I learned to calm my nervous system in a way that was sensitive to trauma. Only then did things truly change.

For over 30 years I have been supporting people in seminars and coaching sessions. I am a licensed psychotherapist and work using a body-oriented and trauma-sensitive approach.

What participants say

„"I found this feeling of not having to do anything, but simply being allowed to be, incredibly comforting."“

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the evening cost anything?

No, it's free.

Do I need to turn on the camera?

I'm happy when I can see you. Not to observe you, but because something develops between us when we see each other. It's not a requirement. (If you're sensitive to light: reduce the brightness.)

Do I have to participate in the live preview?

No. Only those who want to participate should sign up. Watching is perfectly sufficient.

What if I have a migraine attack on the day of my appointment?

Then just come to the other appointment. Send me a quick message and I'll send you the link.

I have severe migraines and have already tried many things. Is this evening something for me?

Yes. You won't get another tip, but rather a different perspective on the whole thing. What you take away from it is up to you.

Does this replace medical treatment?

No. I will support you as a coach, drawing on my background in psychotherapy and trauma-informed care. Your medical needs will continue alongside this. The two complement each other.

What technical requirements do I have?

Computer, tablet or mobile phone with internet access. Zoom also works without a personal account.
