Rob van Overbruggen PhD


Rob van Overbruggen PhD, uses his expert knowledge of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Time-line procedures and Hypnotherapy to help clients use their minds to influence their disease process.

Rob was born in 1972, in a small town in the south of The Netherlands. His early education was in the field of Software Engineering, where he learned to identify patterns and understand and incorporate common links from different viewpoints.

To satisfy his desire to understand the mind, he began studying Neuro Linguistic Programming, working with time-lines, and Hypnotherapy in 1993.

A year later, he decided to study psychological influences on the cancer process, which later on became his mission in life. In 1995 he was introduced to the basics of META-Medicine® . The patterns that emerged from these were profound, clear, understandable and reproducible, however they were far from accepted by the medical community.

Based on his 12 year study into this field he wrote the book: Healing Psyche – Patterns and Structure of Complementary Psychological Cancer Treatment (CPCT). In his book, he identified overlapping patterns from different psychological approaches to cancer therapy. From this he was able to identify the psychological patterns that influence the cancer process.

This book received great reviews from pioneering icons in the field, such as Carl Simonton MD, Christiane Northrup MD and Hendrik Treugut MD.

Rob holds a Doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and is an internationally licensed Hypnotherapist, NLP, and Timeline trainer. He is the founder and director of Mexion, a company specializing in therapy and training. He is the director of therapeutic research for Healing Psyche, and is responsible for maintaining the quality of licensed hypnotherapists in The Netherlands.You can contact Rob through healingpsyche.com or metamedicine.com
