• What is a silent trauma?

Silent trauma is nothing more than a trigger that developed imperceptibly and invisibly as a response to a dysfunctional or toxic childhood situation.

• Why did you come up with this?

I come from a dysfunctional family background, I have had many problems in my life due to my upbringing. My original idea was to be a walking coach - which I am - that idea was developed further. I've become an inner child coach and my main focus are people with uncomfortable, painful, dysfunctional relationships.

• What makes you any different from the million relationship coaches out there?

I don't regard myself a relationship coach, because relationship coaches help people save their relationships. I do not want to save any relationship where actually the partners are not (no longer) compatible, or the relationship is already dead. I fully support closure and moving on, I also provide help for this, in addition to successful dating and successful and problem-solving relationship communication.
