You are not the only one who feels different. Know that you are not alone.
From ‘what belongs’ to ‘what belongs to you’
I have specialized in coaching if you want to follow a different path (sometimes out of necessity) and find your own unique place in society. That you learn to understand yourself and are therefore able to make better choices.
A term for when you deviate from ‘the normal’ is neurodiversity. This includes, for example: autism, giftedness, high sensitivity, ADHD, OCD (compulsive disorder) and dyslexia. Your brain works differently and information processing is different.
Since your brain works differently, this has major consequences for how you approach life, what you like and what your needs are. You may feel misunderstood, experience a deep sense of loneliness and the feeling of missing connection.
Coaching specialization for:
- if you are sensitive to stimuli
- if you are socially introverted
- if there are possible characteristics of autism
But maybe you feel good or better about:
- fewer stimuli, such as loud music or a lot of talking
- smaller social settings, so you prefer to be one-on-one rather than in large groups
- doing things in a fixed way and knowing where you stand
In today’s society there are many incentives and something different is asked of you:
- there are many stimuli, such as sound, music and talk everywhere and a lot of collaboration is required at school/study and at work
- social extroverts are often the norm
- processing a continuous flow of information and news
- being flexible and fast (for example in making choices and in the pace of work and study)
This means that the world around you is often not designed for you and that means that you often have to adapt in order to still be able to function.
This adjustment often costs you a lot of energy, exhausts you and can alienate you from yourself. The first can result in burnout complaints and the second in depression and anxiety, because you are not close to yourself and alienated from yourself.
Do you recognize yourself in this? Then I offer a special coaching program
We go from ‘what belongs’ to ‘what belongs to you’?
In a number of sessions I will discuss related themes with you in more depth and that will ensure that you increasingly get to a place where you feel good.
I have traveled this road myself in my life and from my experience I support you. For example, you will learn:
- recognize when enough is enough for you (for example, after a day out with others, it is okay to go home and do your own thing instead of going out for dinner together again)
- a very essential one: you learn to understand and accept yourself and therefore appreciate yourself more and more. This also leads to better choices, where you take good care of yourself
- what steps you need to take to find your unique place
The themes that are discussed depend on what is going on in your life and can be, for example:
- what nourishes you and what drains you?
- how do you ensure fulfilling relationships?
- who are you in a love relationship, what do you need in this and what are mutual expectations?
- how do you limit yourself? And do you limit yourself sufficiently?
- Do you still have unresolved traumas that hinder you in the present and make you unfree?
- what is your passion?
- which work suits you?
- are you (still) stuck in patterns?
- do you feel like a victim or are you taking control of your life?
- do you live in a good place?
