Koen Thomeer
Welcome to my page. I am a general practitioner in Antwerp and the founder of the Context Thinking project.
My interest lies in how context and thinking styles influence our psychological vulnerability.
Personal note
My motivation for this project stems from my experience in general practice and my work with people with diverse thinking styles. I noticed how often misunderstandings and psychological vulnerability originate in the way people process context. With Context Thinking, I want to make these insights accessible, both to the medical world and to a broader audience.
