“The more we trust, the farther we are able to venture.”
Belgian-American psychotherapist whose work centers on trust, desire, and the willingness to risk connection. (Note: this profile draws on a composite of her teaching themes — full bibliography in progress.) Her central claim is that real growth happens at the edge of what we can control: we extend ourselves toward another person, or toward our own becoming, without a guarantee. Trust, in her telling, is not naïveté — it is the practiced courage to venture.
