Veerkracht wordt vaak verward met kracht.
Deze aflevering verkent wat overblijft wanneer kracht verdwenen is — en hoe menselijk blijven zelf een vorm van volhouden wordt.

Resilience is often mistaken for strength.
This episode explores what remains when strength is gone — and how staying human becomes an act of endurance.

In this first English episode, I explore how exclusion begins long before the word “discrimination” appears. It emerges quietly — in subtle signals, small hesitations, and social patterns that shape who is heard and who gradually disappears. These mechanisms operate not only in healthcare, but across education, workplaces, and society.

Drawing on research from social psychology, cognitive science, and behavioural medicine, I discuss how implicit bias, group identity, hierarchy, and micro-interactions influence belonging and human wellbeing. I also reflect on personal experiences and on what it takes to move from silence to awareness, and from awareness to meaningful change.

This episode builds on the themes of my book Cutting into the Silence, and marks a new phase in which I explore these dynamics independently and in my own voice.

Deze aflevering gaat over de stille mechanismen van uitsluiting: kleine, subtiele patronen die bepalen wie gehoord wordt en wie verdwijnt — in de zorg en in onze samenleving. We bespreken de wetenschappelijke onderbouw, de menselijke impact en wat er nodig is om vooruitgang te maken.
