The sense of meaning and context is central to how we as humans experience life. Gaining an increased capacity to experience and distinguish between feelings, desires and inner states is an invaluable skill that facilitates virtually all aspects of life. Healthy relationships and a realistic and reliable self-image enable completely different ways to face difficulties. Man expresses his essence through art, philosophy, play and literature. By using these fields, I believe that it is possible to get closer to human existence. In my mind, this addition to regular scientific psychology makes the work more empirical, not less. By looking inwards and expanding self-insight, we get more freedom to choose our direction and to live in a way we enjoy. With me, there is no ambition to make you "normal" or "like everyone else". On the contrary, I think that the unique expression is exactly what makes it possible to encounter the world in a valuable way and to feel alive.
