Trauma is a very, very moving, very interesting phenomenon. We all have microtraumas—for example, when someone says to us, "You're stupid." And we have macrotraumas—such as a physical blow, a traumatic event, being yelled at, being abandoned, or whatever. [...]

Transformation – a word that is rarely used. Today, we tend to talk about "change" instead. Or perhaps "transformation" – which is already perceived as something profound. But transformation means something else as well. Something very far-reaching. [...]

In many families, issues such as repression and taboos have a very strong influence. Often, it is not even permissible to think or feel what is not supposed to be there. (Taboo) [...]

Systemic entanglement is an interesting fact. We humans tend to take on the issues of our ancestors and pass them on—consciously or unconsciously. If these are talents, i.e., abilities that are attached to our genetic material, then we are happy. [...]
