Let go of beliefs that hold you back, without endless talking

IEMT helps you shift your deepest beliefs about yourself, online and in just a few sessions.

Sometimes you know rationally that something isn't true—'I'm not good enough', 'I don't deserve happiness'—yet it still feels true. That isn't a weakness. These are deeply ingrained patterns in your nervous system. At Ik Wil Verandering, Janine uses IEMT to address those patterns directly, without you having to relive or discuss everything in detail.

Changing beliefs can sometimes seem impossible, especially when you've carried them for years. They feel like facts, not thoughts. Yet that's not what they are. They formed at some point, often in a moment of pain, confusion or loss, and have been stored in your system ever since. IEMT focuses precisely on that moment when they formed. Not by talking about it endlessly, but by reducing its emotional charge. Janine guides you through this online, through her certified practice, Ik Wil Verandering.

Why don't some beliefs change on their own, even when you want them to so much?

You may have already tried positive thinking, self-reflection, or conversations with friends or a coach. Yet that inner voice—'I'm too much', 'I never get it right'—still feels unchanged. That's because beliefs aren't purely cognitive. They're connected to emotional memories deeply embedded in your nervous system. As long as that emotional charge remains, rational reasoning can only help so much. Your brain continues to recognise the old pattern as 'safe' and activates it again and again. It's not a matter of willpower; it's biology.

How does IEMT help shift limiting beliefs?

IEMT stands for Integral Eye Movement Therapy and uses guided eye movements while you focus on a persistent thought, memory or belief. These movements reduce the emotional intensity attached to the pattern, allowing the belief to lose its grip. What sets IEMT apart from other methods is that it also addresses identity patterns: not just 'what happened', but also 'who have I come to believe I am because of it'. An initial exploratory study from 2026 (Journal of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies, involving researchers from Maastricht University) compared IEMT with EMDR in 33 participants. Both methods reduced the emotional charge of negative memories significantly more than the control condition, with no significant difference between the two. This is an exploratory study with a small sample, but an encouraging first step towards establishing an evidence base for IEMT.

What can you expect when working on your beliefs in an online session with Janine?

A session at Ik Wil Verandering lasts 60 minutes and takes place entirely online via video call. There's nothing to install; you join from your own familiar surroundings. Janine is a certified IEMT practitioner and starts with an initial consultation costing €100 excluding VAT, payable via Stripe. During this consultation, you explore together which patterns or deeply ingrained ideas about yourself are central to your concerns. You then work in a focused way, session by session, to reduce the emotional charge behind those beliefs. There are no guaranteed results: IEMT is a structured method, not a medical treatment. If you are experiencing severe difficulties or a crisis, Janine will refer you to your GP or a specialist care provider.

Explore each topic in more depth

Changing beliefs is rarely about a single issue. Sometimes the root lies in an old memory, sometimes in a recurring pattern of anxiety, and sometimes in a deep sense of not being enough. Each situation calls for its own approach. Explore the pages on specific topics such as anxiety, self-image, emotional triggers or trauma. Each offers a focused explanation of how IEMT can help.
