“In April 2022 I immersed myself in the Swedish Experience for a week. Not a full agenda with appointments, but completely empty! Focus on working on a long-cherished wish: a program for people returning to work after cancer.
We got started right away during dinner on the day of arrival. The lines are set for the coming days. This meant that both Esther and I knew what to expect from each other and at what time. The trip has given me insight that through focus and space you can achieve a lot in a short time.
The empty agenda allowed me to fully focus on what I wanted to do. And by not being at home, I was not tempted by the delusions of everyday life. My husband and children could do without me for a while :) It gave me so much air and space that I actually managed to work on the program.
The midweek was unforgettable. I have achieved so much in a short time. The framework of the program was ready at the end of the Swedish Experience and so much more business wise. In addition, I was completely recharged and could then enjoy Stockholm with my husband. He saw me shining at the station and knew that I was happy to see him and felt happy that he had given me the space to work on my program. I never expected it to be so 'easy'. Preparation is half the work, and Esther keeps asking questions during the sessions, so that the content is exactly what you think is good.
In October, we will start our first group "Connecting with yourself after cancer", a program that gives you insights into how you can regain control of life after the 'white coats'.”
