Addictive Disorders and Alcoholism

Biography

Anouk Prop is a psychologist and registered Yoga Alliance (500RYT) yoga teacher and trauma therapist, originally from the Netherlands. With additional postgraduate education in trauma healing, she’s an expert in addressing the roots of addiction, which are often nurtured by psychological stress, unresolved trauma and deep lack of self-love. She combines psychology, trauma healing and yoga through their very compatible aspects and stresses on the non-medical methods in healing and offers a holistic approach as such. Anouk has a broad range of experience in the field, in clinical and rehabilitation settings in several countries, varying from working with children and adults with a history of abuse, addiction, anxiety disorders, depression, but also car-accidents and other traumatic events like war or natural disasters. She encounters people with deeply rooted tension, trauma or blockages on a level which goes beyond cognition and shows that addictive behavior can be replaced by more healthy habits to overcome obstacles in life. Her mindful approach is focused on empowerment and guiding people towards their own unique essence by gently inviting them to look in the beautiful, though sometimes confronting mirror life provides, taken by her hand of compassion, positivity and enthusiasm.
