" The most direct experience of living is through our body. Being present happens when our senses are activated, and our actions relate directly and intimately to the world around us. There is a lot that can prevent us from being fully present as we go through life. (p.123)

– Douglas Holwerda,
Living From Inside Out book

Psychotherapist

He offers therapy for people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger, cultural adjustment, midlife, as well as existential questions of meaning and purpose. Douglas has seen how therapy is a process which brings about a relief from suffering through self-discovery and acceptance.

Speaker

I am an experienced presenter on topics related to my work in Psychology. I have guided intimate discussions and presented ideas to groups big and small, in person and on-line over the past several years.

Author

Besides being a psychotherapist and a public speaker Douglas also writes in several digital and paper platforms.

Artist

I am an untrained, unskilled and unpracticed artist. I like to play with paint, and oil pastels and colored pencils and paper, mostly. I like to start with a blank page and a blank mind and then to follow where the artistic experience takes me.

Living From the Inside Out — Part One: Begin Within

Living From the Inside Out, Part One – “Begin Within” invites readers on a reflective journey inward to listen, observe, and understand what our inner world reveals about who we truly are. Through exploring the interplay of emotions, the body, and thought, the book guides readers toward deeper self-awareness and authentic connection with the self.

In a world that often pulls our attention outward, this book serves as a reminder to return home to ourselves to the place where understanding, healing, and growth truly begin. Written in a grounded and accessible way, Living From the Inside Out offers insights that help you recognize how your inner life shapes the way you live, feel, and relate to the world.
