My name is Marco Ambaum, 48 years old and I live in The
Netherlands.
I live together with my wife; 3 adolescent
children and I work in secondary education.
In December 2018 I got a burnout that left me at
home.
I got through it by trial and error. Supported by my family, friends, employer and my
psychologist.
As a teacher, I often took too much work with me. In addition to teaching, there were also many tasks, assignments and work groups that I
participated in. I also found my involvement with the children and the
pressure from parents heavy.
Having a young family asked a lot of me. Just like an old house, maintaining a social network and a large garden.
The balance in my life was quite disturbed.
Now, more than two years later, I am doing a lot better. I have gained understandings and have become a lot wiser.
These ideas, understandings and wisdom are the core of the website.
