I am Janneke Broeders, previously working as a psychologist within the regular mental health care and currently in my own practice as a PRI therapist in training. Do you suffer from gloom, uncertainty or anxiety? Do you experience procrastination, perfectionism, eating problems or reluctance around work or relationships? I am happy to help you with this!
As a counselor, PRI appeals to me because this model is concrete, clear and at the same time profound. It is the most complete model I have come across within the various psychological streams and therapies. It gives the client a tool in their hands, which means there is no dependence on the therapist, but a person gains autonomy and direction in their own life. My personal connection to PRI came about after this method helped me overcome my anorexia. When I was 17 years old I developed anorexia and I was extremely fortunate to be immediately introduced to PRI, which allowed me to recover 100% using this method. Not 50% or 70%, but 100%! I am the living example that recovering really is possible. There is hope!
My desire arose to support girls with anorexia, to help them more deeply than just on a symptom level and to help them understand what this way of coping protects them from. I work in PRI Anorexia expertise team, where we help both adolescents and adults to let go of eating problems and get back to living life to the fullest.
