In Episode 9 we welcome our first guest, Trauma and Somatic Therapist, Harry Dijkshoorn who shares his fascinating life stories and lessons. Harry was born and raised in the Netherlands and began to search for the meaning of life at the age of 19. His journey took him to the far east where he eventually became the right hand man of cult leader/guru Andrew Cohen. When Harry broke free of this cult he headed on a journey towards healing, which brought him to study Trauma Therapy in Israel. From his Jewish encounters on the streets of Jerusalem to the deep insights he shares about pain, Harry's gentle voice and deep compassionate words brings much needed relief for this hard and traumatic time.
