My name is Miriam Terbon\u00dfen, 30 jaar oud, en samen met mijn partner woon ik in Groningen. Ik wil je graag mijn verhaal vertellen over waarom ik zo gepassioneerd ben over lichaamswerk en hoe deze benadering mij heeft geholpen om me weer thuis te voelen in mijn eigen lichaam.<\/span><\/p>

I grew up in Germany, near Dortmund, in an environment that was characterized by a real \"working-class atmosphere''. The emphasis was on achievement, intellect, and especially meeting the norm. I learned to behave as was expected of me, and put all my attention outside myself. I learned to care for others and to sense their needs so that I fit into the image others expected of me. Mijn eigen gevoelens en perspectieven onderdrukte ik. Hiervoor kreeg ik bevestiging en liefde, dus deed ik datgene dat hiervoor nodig was. Zo heb ik het toen overleefd in mijn omgeving. \u00c9n toen ik mijn puberteit naderde, werd ik er diep ongelukkig en letterlijk ziek van. Mijn lichaam gaf een alarmsignaal: de opgekropte emoties en ingehouden bewegingen zetten zich vast in mijn lijf en keerden zich naar binnen. Het besef hiervan drong pas later tot me door, toen ik echt leerde om in mijn lichaam te wonen en naar de signalen te luisteren.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Driven by my quest for my own identity and the question of why the world is the way it is, I chose to study Psychology. At the age of 18, I took the step out of my family system to the neighboring country, the Netherlands. From that moment on, a phase of awareness and inner development began. Although my studies at a cognitive level provided some answers to my questions, fundamental issues remained unanswered. These answers were beyond intellect, beyond theories and facts. Despite not being able to precisely articulate what I was searching for, I continued to seek.<\/p>

During and after my studies, I traveled a lot. My journeys brought me into contact with different cultures, deepened my love for nature, and broadened my perspective on the world. They introduced me to various forms of meditation and spirituality. However, I painfully experienced that no matter where I was, my own sense of home remained elusive, even on the other side of the world, no matter how long I sat on a meditation cushion.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Back in the Netherlands,\u00a0<\/span>during my graduation period, I came into contact with the training program for body-oriented therapy at the AUMM institute. Without a clear idea of what awaited me, I felt deep inside that I might find my answers here. Five intense years of training followed. What makes this program unique is the strong emphasis on personally experiencing and embodying this form of therapy. The knowledge I now impart in my practice is experiential knowledge.\u00a0<\/span>A fundamental value to which I am committed as a therapist is that I consistently reflect on myself, passing on what I personally live.<\/span>\u00a0I continue to deepen my expertise in my field, attend additional trainings, and regularly participate in supervision and intervision.\u00a0<\/span>This way, I can truly be there for you and be a clear mirror for you.<\/span><\/p>

In the training, I learned how to take my own inner child by the hand. I discovered how to create space for my own movements, allow my emotions, and bring my inner world outward. I learned to understand my boundaries and discovered what I wanted and didn't want. As an adult, I reclaimed my place. I started inhabiting my body again and found my home. My body is a haven where I can always return. Like the roots of a tree, my body gives me stability to explore life.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Because the body-oriented approach has been so profoundly helpful in my quest for self-discovery, I feel a strong desire to pass on my experience.\u00a0It is my mission to guide others in learning to listen to their bodies in relation to their personal challenges.\u00a0<\/span>I wish for everyone to rediscover the ability to trust what the body communicates, to come home again and find peace there.\u00a0<\/span>From this foundation, we can lead a rich, fulfilling, connected, and loving life. With my work, I aim to contribute to this goal.<\/span><\/p>

With my experience, passion, and knowledge in both psychology and body-oriented therapeutic work, I create a safe space for your journey. Attuned and with careful consideration, I align with your needs and personal situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It is a deep belief of mine that you already carry all the wisdom within you that you need to take the next step. I journey with you, sometimes nudging you forward, or holding up a loving mirror. So that you can reconnect with your own knowing, your own truth. Your home.<\/p>
