Hans de Back, Sound Therapist
Hans de Back ‘The Wounded Healer’ doesn’t think of himself as
a doctor, a healer or a therapist. He has Tibetan singing bowls that do
the introductions for him. His interest in sound massage started in
1974 during his psychotherapy study, which he never finished as other
interests took over.
‘Over the years I’ve observed that when you guide someone to their
emotional centre, it’s much easier to gain contact than by playing
doctor and digging up their past,’ he explains, confessing that it is
not easy to do manual massage with the physical problems he has. ‘That
is how the singing bowl became my calling. No words are necessary and no
need to undress; I only touch people with sound. I don’t need to speak
as my singing bowls do that for me’.
