Als ervaringsdeskundige (2013-14) ben ik van mening dat je niet kunt genezen van een burn-out. In principe zie je niets aan die mensen tenzij jouw gedrag hen provoceert. Boosheid is dan een van de gevolgen. Helaas heb ik dat zelf ook meegemaakt bij een soort van ramptoerisme tijdens mijn burn-out. De huidige terugval van Pieter Omtzigt zag ik daarom al lang geleden...
For quite some time, I’ve been wondering whether I have forgiven certain people. Expressing such forgiving words comes easy. Usually, future deeds are absent anyway. However, our intentions are hidden deep inside our mind. The well-known expression is simple: forgive and forget. The why is still relatively simple: it’s a solution for both parties (ie, who). The how...
Yesterday’s blog on the 2023 Dutch general election did not include any explanation. Today’s blog will. The main explanation is anger of Dutch voters towards PM Mark Rutte.

Strictly speaking, the model of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1926-2004)...
A friend says that she envies me for protecting my heart so well. Indeed, it seems that I'm not hurt by the one(s) whom I love the most. Late 2010, I decided to stop my heart from bleeding by building an imaginary sarcophagus around it. Most of the year, it indeed helps me soldiering on. My friend is slowly copying my solution because she fears that the hurting will...
