Musing on Dirk De Wachter's question,

He who wondered this already as a little boy.


Where are the normal people?
                        

A psychiatrist who looks at the world through psychiatric glasses and a diagnostic perspective.



                                                     

About people with or without a psychiatric diagnosis.

Is being mentally ill just a coincidence?

sneaks into the patient's brain out of the blue through heredity?

                               

Does this say something about who you are                

                                                                                                            

                                                                                

Or about who you don't dare to be who you are?

Is this just something of the psychiatric patient?

or the human who is not normal?

or is it not so good at the role of what is normal?

Or is this something of the human being who does not

man dares to be among men.

Isn't this something for everyone?

Isn't everyone a psychiatric patient?

So also from people without a psychiatric diagnosis,

The normal person?

Who's just better at his role of what's normal?

Psychiatry teaches about all of us.

The psychiatric patient who is more vulnerable and feels everything stronger, becomes anxious.

Who cannot lie to himself and hide behind the role of what is normal.

Can't hide this in his or her being and in what it feels.

And the normal person who goes on and on and can handle his role better.

Isn't psychiatry something of the world, something of society that has too little insight into illness?

The man who loses himself, and no longer knows himself in being human,

hidden in the loneliness of being human and the sadness about it.

Or is it as doctor Yvo Van Orshoven a general practitioner puts it. 

                              

                                                                                                         

This is something of every patient?

Just like an allergy is more than an allergen.

Illness is also a way of saying something about what you don't dare say in any other way.

What one says with fear, another says with pain.

The patient with pain is then again accepted.
That is considered normal.

Like a back patient.

Fear or pain, something you feel?

this speaks from what you feel,

something that is of a different order and no longer wants to feel.

The inner struggle.

Between who you are, and the role of what normal is true

you think you have to comply.

You lose yourself in this so that you no longer know yourself in who you really are.

You don't actually live anymore, but you are lived by the norm of what is normal.

you will have to be like this.

This is the emptiness of man, who no longer dares to be man among people.

You wander around in this.

Don't know your way anymore.

on your way to who you really are.

you are frustrated and angry about this.

The emptiness of loneliness, the sadness from the fear that no longer finds its way out,

what you can no longer express.

In this the body speaks for itself and makes the difference between complaint and strength.

He who thought further and radically changed direction, gave up his general practice.

He who further experimented with his patients.

He experienced this that tension was the culprit to deny yourself in who you are.

Being behind the sadness from the loneliness of being human can find its way out again through practice.

You dare to cry again for who you are.

Find yourself in this again

That's how the was born

 Orshof methodology

This is a practice-oriented method in which you learn to experience playfully through practice as an experiment

who you really are from your roots of being as you knew yourself when you were a child

he brought those people together and took

them out of the anonymity of the patient in which it is a stranger to itself and each other.

So that you regain the reality of who you are can feel all over your body.

Just feel better in your own skin.

So that the anger from frustration in who you are and the sadness from the loneliness of being human that you could not grow into as a child because you were not allowed to know yourself because you had to hide behind the role of what is normal.

Through this exercise he can find his way out again.

You dare to cry again for who you are.

From this flow of inner energy from this emotion find yourself again.

As you knew yourself when you were still the playing child of yesteryear.

Dare to grow again from the inner life energy.

So that your self-confidence is restored.

To be able to grow into being human.

Where you get to know each other and yourself in who you really are.

This can be very confronting.

But only from your inner honesty can there be an open atmosphere among each other where you really
understand each other.

                                                                     

The exercises are like frolicking and rolling with each other.

Also yoga, meditation, relaxation.

massage and cuddling.

Hop and dance.

Climbing in trees or poles and hereby

to experience your inner self and not for the performance

Also cold shower or swimming in cold water to wake you up like that.

                                                                         

Isn't the problem of the psychiatric patient also the problem of the psychiatrist?

And isn't the patient's problem also the doctor's problem?

I am the one in this photo.

The author of this text in which I dare to question society.

Who has experienced it all firsthand.

I would rather not hide this.

I want to be honest about this.
