Viktor Frankl overleefde van 1942-1945 meerdere contratiekampen. De oorspronkelijke titel van zijn beroemde boek ‘De zin van het leven’ raakt mij: Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager (1946). Niet overleven schrijft hij, maar beleven… Zoals hij hieronder zegt in vertederend Engels: Despair is Suffering minus Meaning. De zingeving die hij vond in wanhopige omstandigheden, maakte hem een beter mens en hulpverlener. Ik bewonder dat zeer.
Citaat, Viktor Frankl (1946): Wanneer we niet meer in staat zijn een situatie te veranderen, worden we uitgedaagd onszelf te veranderen.

I am Matti Groot, psychologist, integrative counselor and coach. My company is called Art of Change and is based in Amsterdam. You can also contact me for online psychological coaching via Zoom, in English, German and Dutch. My coaching is based on my experience as a coach, counselor and psychologist, but also on what I have learned as a scientific researcher, manager and business analyst in international business. People come to me for support in achieving their life goals, happiness, inner peace, friendships, love and a successful career, but also in overcoming existential dilemmas, insomnia, sadness, panic attacks, hopelessness, restlessness and fear. I learn many valuable things from each coachee that I can use in the following sessions, also with other coachees. Going on a journey together, compassionate and empathetic, that's how I experience it. In addition, I enjoy working as a freelance trainer at De Nederlandse Academie, an excellent training for professional coaches, integrative counselors and therapists.
