Klaas was raised in a liberated Reformed way. “People think, oh that must have been a very strict upbringing. That’s not the case, I don’t really have a trauma, I had more of a very boring upbringing. Pretty boring and sober, but happy. But I learned that I do everything wrong in my life, that I am a sinful person. I have a predisposition for shame, but I feel that it has strengthened it, so that I have become even more ashamed. When I said goodbye to it, I also noticed I felt like a weight was lifted off me, but I still had a lot of shame.”
Comedian Klaas Prins tackles his shame by making a performance about it.
