Before this, I had also deeply studied “non-violent communication” (see www.geweldlozecommunicatie.org). I naturally apply this approach when supporting and guiding people. I’m also a certified “Aware Parenting instructor” (see meerrustinhuis.eu), where young children and their parents are approached with an understanding of their basic needs and emotions, especially in cases of sleep, behavior, or crying problems. This experience helps me stay extra alert to the emotional background of certain issues.
