I came across this pocketbook with a pink-reddish cover and thought: ‘What an intruiging booktitle! I absolutely want to read this!’ It is in English and sadly not available in Dutch. The subtitle is: ‘One Woman’s Journey to Body Positivity’. So yes, it is an memoir from a young woman who is now in her […]

Haptonomy – haptotherapy
The last blog for now in the stress-common-thread. I say emphatically for now, because stress plays such a major role in your not well-being in today’s contemporary society, that it is bound to keep popping up in future blogs in one form or another.
