PERSONAL NOTE
There is a story that lies in each of us. A story that wants to be told and waits to be heard. An important and truly original story that forms us through its unique experiences.
Our life story.
Experiences of struggle and intense stress while finding my way as a newcomer; living and
working in different countries with different social systems;
experiences of love and conflict, closeness and separation while being in a long distance relationship that turned into a marriage;
experiences of risk, trauma and survival in its most basic sense, while witnessing extreme
human behaviour during military service, are some of defining experiences of my own life story.
It is my deep belief that sharing our story in the genuine presence of another human being,
recognizing its significance and accepting its importance, binds our fragmented experiences
into a strong and coherent unity.
A unity that enables us to tap into our authentic strengths and resources, a unity that restores
our sense of belonging and finally a unity that allows us to relax into the complexities of our human existence.
