When Dorien from the Netherlands first shared her story for Emerging Proud, she wasn’t quite ready to ‘come out of the spiritual closet’ with her full name. She was only two years on from an extreme spiritual emergency, and there was still much to understand and integrate.

However, following internal guidance, Dorien has spent the last 9 years doing deep process work and this led her to use her lived experience to train in a modality that she now uses to support others who have had similar experiences.

Originally a social worker, Dorien is now a Level 3 trained practitioner in the therapeutic model ‘Internal Family Systems’. She specializes in holding space for people who are integrating altered states, or going through an awakening process by helping them to connect with all of who they are.

I will be chatting to Dorien about her journey from crisis to transformation very soon, and she will be sharing guidance as to what helped her along the way.
