Roxeanne Hazes had such a fear of performance that she regularly hoped that performances would not take place. In conversation with NU.nl, the singer tells us at the moment Holland Sings Hazes was canceled and most of all she felt relief, she knew it was time for therapy. Because of the conversations with her psychologist, she is now comfortable in her own skin.
The concert series was stopped halfway through the beginning of this year due to the corona measures. “All my fellow artists reacted terribly sad and fed up. I did too, but I was also relieved. I was so reluctant to go on that stage every time and not having to do it now was especially nice. That moment was really a eye-opener: I have such a great job, how could I have started to feel so bad? “
In an interview with LINDA.Meiden Winterboek, where Hazes poses on the cover with only two fried eggs for her breasts and talks to Bilal Wahib, the singer tells that she is in therapy. Her openness about a subject that is subject to a taboo is striking. “Of course that is also due to Bilal, it clicked immediately, he is such a chill, nice guy. But I am also very open by nature and want to get rid of taboos. I think: if you have reach, you have to do something. positively participate. I try.
MOT of yourself
Through the therapy the singer comes to all kinds of insights. “It is a kind of MOT of your own: where do these feelings come from? It was an enormous threshold that I had to cross to take that step, because going into therapy was quite a thing in my head. Who is on it? “My story is waiting? Why would anyone want to listen to me for hours? But once you open up to it, it does so much for you. I recommend it to everyone.”
“Now I see the pleasure in my work returning. Through the therapy I learn to talk to myself: you have such a nice job, enjoy it. Next year I will be in the profession for fifteen years, I am really looking forward to it now. to celebrate that with everyone. I think it’s really special again what I’m allowed to do. “

Talk about feelings with André
The contact with her brother André, with whom she did not speak for years, also helps her to get to know parts of herself better. “We look very alike and can talk about anything. You might not expect that, because it wasn’t there for so long, but it just felt right again. He makes me think even more about what I experienced as a child, what I my own son wants to give in. I think our generation can really make a difference: we really talk about things, about feelings. “
“We have the rule in house: you can always cry, you can always be angry, but we do talk about it. So if Fender does not have his moment, we let him too, and then have a chat with each other about what is going on. is really going on. With that you already offer your child completely different perspectives: your feelings are okay. Now that I feel good about myself, I want to give that to everyone. “
