Haptonomy

Haptonomy is an approach that is focused on the individual person on the basis of which an instinctive understanding can be obtained of the way in which a person perceives life and on which motivations his behavior is based. A disturbance of the balance between ‘what we think’ and ‘how we feel’ has a far greater impact on our lives than we normally recognize.

He followed in his father’s footsteps, the founder of Haptonomy, after finishing medical school and getting a psychology degree. The trainings- institute is situated in the east of the Netherlands in the historical village of Grave.
