Talks about ReAttach

Erik Sulkers has been working as a pediatrician in Zeeland since 2003. After fourteen years in a hospital setting, he opened his practice in 2017, specializing in treating children with ADHD, autism, anxiety disorders, and depression. Over the years, Sulkers has increasingly focused on the psychosocial aspects of these conditions.

Establishment of the practice

Driven by the long waiting times at psychologists, sometimes up to nine months, Sulkers looked for alternative treatment methods to support children in the interim without immediately resorting to medication. “We wanted to offer more than just medication; we wanted to implement effective therapies,” explains Sulkers.

Introduction to ReAttach

In his search for effective non-medication treatments, he discovered ReAttach, a therapy that promised quick results. The results of 400 treatments in the first year convinced him of the method’s effectiveness. His enthusiasm grew so much that Paula asked him to become a trainer.

The success of ReAttach in severe cases, like the girl with autism, has convinced me of this therapy's enormous potential to make further inroads in broad medical practice.

Application in practice

As a pediatrician, Sulkers applies ReAttach to many children, including complex cases. He recalls a particularly challenging case of a girl with severe autism who almost could not be discharged from the clinic due to self-harm. “With Paula’s help and then eight sessions of my own, this girl was eventually able to continue her development normally at home,” Sulkers shares. Children typically come for four sessions of 20 minutes each, which integrates well with regular care.

Benefits and Future Vision

Sulkers emphasizes ReAttach’s quick and compelling nature, which sets it apart from other therapies. “There is a great need for therapies that work quickly. ReAttach meets this need and often exceeds expectations so much that people sometimes can barely believe it,” he says. He hopes for a future breakthrough and believes that the therapy will expand from the ground up through the growing group of professionals applying ReAttach.
