You don't have to yell anymore
Yesterday I had a session with my therapist. There was a lot to work through, but in the end, it all came down to one thing: connecting with my inner child, with little Tuur. That connection had become a bit diluted lately, even though I do quite a bit of inner work. Connecting with that child from my adult self, […]
From Bunker to Open Heart: My Summer of Letting Go
A Summer at Home While most people went on vacation this summer, my husband and I made a conscious decision to stay home. We just kept working. What I experienced was just as big a journey—but an inner one. A profound shift, on multiple levels at once. It started with decluttering. My inbox, my Google Drive, my paperwork, my practice space. […]
What if the key to your freedom lies not in yourself - but in your family?
What if the key to your freedom lies not in yourself - but in your family? Last week I gave supervised family constellations for constellators-in-waiting. And the following day I gave a constellation morning with questioners and representatives. Two very different groups, two very different contexts - and yet one common theme that emerges every time. Honoring [...]
A warm healing bath
What happens when you no longer leave yourself Sometimes life invites you to re-face pieces you thought you knew. Not because you have failed. But because they are ready to be felt through at a deeper layer. Over the past few months, such an old theme kept coming up [...].
Reaching out and retreating - an ancient life movement
In this blog, I will take you through my personal therapeutic process. Sometimes it seems like life challenges me to explore the same thing over and over again. During a recent Hakomi practice session with Alex, the theme came into sharp focus again: the movement between reaching out and retreating. Two parts in me.One that wants to move forward. One that wants to show itself. [...]
Symbiosis and autonomy - an inner back-and-forth movement
In this blog, I will take you through my personal therapeutic process. As a body-oriented therapist, I work with others every day around patterns, trauma and inner freedom - but I too remain on the journey. Again and again I am invited to encounter new layers within myself. What I discover, I love to share. Because I believe that [...]
An inner journey to existence
"I get to be all there!" Sometimes life takes us on a path of deep self-reflection. This week I made one such inner journey, in which I was confronted once again with an old, but increasingly deeply resonant theme: existentialism. I want to take you on my inner journey in which I turned deep within, encountered old patterns and [...]
From searching to finding
My 20-Year Journey at Aumm Twenty years ago, I was at a crossroads in my life. I had been pushing myself away for years, stuck in destructive patterns and no longer knew who I was or what I wanted. That's when Barbara (Yasha) pointed me in the direction of the Aumm Institute. An introductory workshop changed everything. This is what [...]
From disappointment to insight
A while ago, I applied to a reputable training institute as a freelance teacher. The job interview went great. I felt comfortable, we had a valuable exchange and I really felt good about it. Recently, however, I received their decision: I was not selected. They valued me as a person and found the interview [...].
Dealing with Triggers
Finding emotional balance Life is full of challenges and surprises, sometimes pleasant and sometimes not so pleasant. We all face situations that can evoke strong emotional reactions. These reactions can range from joy and excitement to sadness and anger. But sometimes there are also triggers, which overwhelm us and throw us off balance [...].
