(Real) life Stories
​
THIS IS US
The series "This is us" helps to explain that problems in child- or adulthood can be diagnosed, but they do not arise 'just like that'. Collaboratively we will work together on finding the root causes for these issues. We focus hereby on attachment, parenting style, present relationship(s) and temperament. If you understand where the problems come from, you are able to address them, with support from the people surround you. If you experience no support, we will support you to mobilize people.
​
We recommend to scroll down and watch the (real life) story of actor Kate and the character Kevin. You will find extra reading material in my blogs and feel free to contact the clinic if you have any questions!
​
If you're not familiar with THIS IS US you can watch the trailer (+/-3 min) This video is not appropriate for children. Age rating 14+ (expert review common sense media) .
note: if you are curious why we didn't use Randall (Kate and Kevin's brother) his story. Kate and Kevin struggled to face their own life. Randall dared to live, even after his panic attack. He knew where to look to find his answers, his wife supported him, and their children followed.
