Grief and loss

Basic needs

03.01.2020 Lichaamsgerichte psychotherapie, Persoonlijke groei, Persoonlijke ontwikkeling, Psychotherapy

Every person has two basic needs: the need for contact, connection and love. And the need for authenticity, for expression of who you are. What happens if these basic needs are not (completely) met? Then you start suppressing emotions and you lose contact with yourself and your liveliness. Gabor Maté explains it clearly.

Spiritual bypassing

02.01.2020 Mindfulness, Persoonlijke ontwikkeling

“If you are using meditation and/or some other form of compassion-based practice to try and calm yourself down without first properly processing, metabolizing and integrating the agitation, anxiety, fear and anger, then it’s only adding more toxicity to your world.
