A child’s feeling always communicates a need. Shame arises when our needs are not met in early interactions and we are not met with them. We ourselves internally turn our backs on our needs if we learn to think that they are not important. Shame maintains a false self-image: various beliefs and perceptions of one’s […]
I’ve been following the discussion around the weightloss drug Ozempic. One side condemns the use of the drug and accuses overweight people of a lack of self-discipline and willpower, and the other side justifies the use of the drug by saying that it was the last possibility and an opportunity to lose weight when all […]
You often hear that people wish for balanced well-being in their lives. I personally believe that there is no perfect balance. Life is constantly changing different phases that include different events. Life is then balancing between these different stages and events.

Nutrition and eating speak volumes. In my work, a large part of the questions concern eating and weight management. A typical story is this: with the hustle and bustle of life, the pounds have piled on and every year it has become more and more difficult to shed them. My body doesn’t feel like my […]
