HELLO
Douglas W. Holwerda
There are chapters in the story of my life; times, places, and people who have shared the experiences of living life. Each chapter with an ending, a time to move on. The people who have remained close to me throughout the journey are few. No one alive has been there from the early days, jumping lily pads with me or tracking the course my life has taken. It is OK. I have relished the solitary arch of my life as much as the heartfelt connections with those I have come to love along the way. My profession has given me a deep connection to humanity, individual versions of the painful challenges that come with living life. I have lived alone, together. Here, I have created a website that exposes some of the story of who I am. I am sharing my art, my writings and my photos, expressions of myself from different times of my life. While I advocate for living from the inside out (see the title of my book), in this website I choose to share myself from the outside, what can be seen in my art work since the 80’s, photography from my traveling experiences, and different kinds of writings I have done over the years. All to share more of myself, more of my whole, true self..


My methods
EXPERIENCE
Behavior therapy
In behavior therapy, the main focus is on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors.
Psychoanalysis
In psychoanalysis, we focus on changing problematic behaviors by understanding the unconscious meanings and motivations behind them.
Cognitive therapy
In cognitive therapy, the focus is on what people think rather than what they do.
Humanistic therapy
In humanistic therapy, the main focus is on a person's capacity to make rational choices and develop.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.
