How did your parents mirror you in childhood and what is it you had to repress to receive their love? Recognizing when our childhood movie takes over, we can mobilize the adult part inside us and come back to what is natural and healthy.
Looking in the mirror of the past; recognizing the false identifications from childhood
“From childhood we are taught that be a good man. Nobody teaches us to be a true person.” Osho
As children we develop a series of false identities or masks in response to the expectations and projections of those we depend on for survival. Over time these roles become autonomous and start to run our lives. We move between these roles with little or no awareness when we get triggered by external events in our woundedness.
Wounding happens when we are not seen and loved unconditionally as children. The wounded child inside us is a powerful and convincing identification which can keep us stuck in defense mode and, when triggered, we start to act out the same childhood movie from our past.
WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?
In Primal Mirror we learn to bring in awareness so we can recognize when we are triggered and can step out of the unhealthy identifications from childhood. We start to listen and accept ourselves instead of remaining stuck by criticizing ourselves or blaming others. We begin to heal our wounded inner child by giving it the love and reassurance it needs – from our own adult resources.
You can attend this course when you are newly exploring the concept of the inner child or when you are familiar with your inner child, to reconnect again with this immensely resourceful part inside us.
Reclaiming and healing our inner child allows us to regain the spontaneous joy and wonder of life. It is the essential journey of life to become a child again – healed, whole and awake.
“Watching the mind, being aware of the mind — without choosing any side, choicelessly being aware — that is the secret.” Osho

“Parents, because of their own investment – business, politics, religion, philosophy – are less interested in the potential of the child. They are more interested in how to mold the child so that he fits in their world, becomes respectable in their world, is not an outcast, is not a misfit. All this arises out of good intentions, but the result is not good. It is almost slaughtering the child, destroying, killing him. Most of his potential will always remain only potential. He will never be even aware what treasures he has brought with his life. He will die and those treasures will remain unopened.” Osho.

Complaint and disciplinary law
I am registered as a CAT (Collective Alternative Therapists) therapist under Wkkgz-right of complaint and disciplinary law in the dispute resolution body GAT (Disputes Alternative Therapists). GAT is a national recognized and fully independent Wkkgz disputes Committee in the Netherlands, however for complaints from abroad there is until further notice no complaint procedure.
New European privacy law
The General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) applies as of 25 May 2018. This is a new European privacy law. As a result, privacy is the same in all countries of the EU. Now the member states still have their own national laws.
The General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) thus replaces the old Personal Data Protection Act (Wbp), which prescribes that healthcare providers properly secure medical records. For example, they must ensure that only authorized persons have access to a patient’s file.
The AVG lists a number of mandatory measures that a therapist has to meet because they record data in client-files.
YOUR PRIVACY
To support a good treatment, it is necessary that I, as your therapist, make notes and keep them in a encrypted digital file. This is also a statutory duty imposed by the Medical Treatment Contracts Act (WGBO).
Storage period
These details in the client file, as required by the law on the treatment agreement (WGBO), are retained for 15 years.
Patients’ rights
The rights of patients with their medical records are secured partly in the WGBO, and partly in the Wbp. Patients have the right to view their medical records and to request correction, addition or destruction of their files.
What exactly is saved
Your file contains notes about your personal details, health status and short notes of the date and course of the treatments performed. For courses this consists of the questionnaire and any additional questions.
In the file, data are also included, if necessary, that are necessary for your treatment and that I have requested, after your explicit consent, from a care provider, e.g. from your (other) therapist or general practitioner.
Who sees what
As your attending therapist, I have sole access to the data in your file. I have a legal duty of confidentiality (professional secrecy).
When a course is organized abroad, and translation is necessary, the organizer and translator have access to the data and they work under a signed mutual duty of confidentiality.
The data from your file can also be used for the following purposes:
1. To inform other health care providers, for example if the therapy has been completed or with a referral to another therapist. This only happens with your explicit permission.
2. For the anonymized use during peer review.
3. A limited part of the data from your file can be used for the financial administration, so that I can draw up an invoice.
4. The invoice is, if necessary, consulted with my tax advisor for making the annual tax return and any tax inspection.
If I want to use your data for another reason, I will first inform you and ask your permission explicitly.
