“We have arranged our entire lives on external time, clock time. But we do not only live in time, time also lives within us,” says Sitskoorn. She also sees that this causes problems. “It brings us a lot that we live in objective time, such as productivity. But there are also certain disadvantages, such as the time pressure that we always experience.”
Event time
Sitskoorn says that there is also event time. “Time lasts as long as it lasts.” Especially for recovery, for example, it is important to surrender to that event time. You may think that you should only grieve for 3 days after the loss of someone, but it doesn’t work that way. It’s good to just take the time it takes.
