In the Sex & Relationships section of the January issue of Marie Claire, I was interviewed for the article 'Verder na ontrouw, kan dat überhaupt?' (Moving on after infidelity -- is that even possible?).

For the sexuality-themed issue of the trade journal of the Dutch Professional Association of Hypnotherapists, I wrote the article 'Let's Talk About Sex,' about the pain of rejection felt by a partner who wants sex. Many people find talking about sex uncomfortable.

Can love be steered?

The relationship between The Bachelorette's Gaby Blaaser and her dream man Joey didn't last long. On the plane back to the Netherlands, she was certain: 'this was a holiday romance.' Boer zoekt vrouw, The Bachelorette, or Gordon gaat Trouwen. Shows with the goal of finding "the one." But can love even be steered through a TV show, or does love always go its own way? Mirthe van der Drift and I discuss this during the broadcast of NPO Radio 1 Fris!

On Radio NPO1 Fris!, I was interviewed by Mirthe van der Drift following a listener's question from the segment 'Ik durf het bijna niet te vragen.' Many people say that once their partner cheats, the relationship is really over. Is that true, or can you move forward as a couple anyway?
