There are many changes that can happen in private practice, and they can range, depending on what happens in life, from getting married and changing your name, to rebranding your Canadian private practice and even to discovering more about yourself.  Sometimes, the transition is even more significant—and there's something I'd really like to share with you.  In this episode, I talk about transitioning in a Canadian private practice. This is, both personally and professionally, indeed a significant transition, and with everything so far in my private practice and podcast, sharing tips and advice with you is important to me, especially if you are in a similar boat. Join in to hear, learn, and know how to do more!  In this episode:  Let the necessary parties know  Update your photos and copy  Join a queer and trans therapist network! Let the necessary parties know  ‘If you decide to change your name, let the licensing parties that you are a part of know, even if you are not legally changing your name, it can be beneficial to let them know your preferred name so that they know how to address you.' - Jules Smith  During your transition, it is essential that you continue to keep everything organized and aligned as best you can, since potential and current clients may be searching your name and your Canadian practice's name. Doing this first can help you start the rest of the changes with ease.  Regarding essential communication lines that you may need to change, such as an email address, my provider Hushmail was great in helping me to change my email address without any hassle and they made sure that if someone emails my past email address—those emails will be forwarded to my new email address! Update your photos and copy When you start changing other essential information about you within your business, such as your:  - Photos  - Psychology Today profile information  - Your name  - The copy on your website  - Social media platforms  Be prepared for a possible quiet drop in client outreach. Hopefully it will begin to slowly level out again.  ‘I now present as masculine, so my updated photos look very different, as well as [the fact that] my copy now says that I am a part of the queer and trans community of Halifax—it may take time for clients to recognize and trust my new identity.' - Jules Smith  Either way, before you begin to implement these changes on your website, diversify your income streams or build up an emergency savings fund to keep things financially stable until your Canadian private practice picks up again.  Join a queer and trans therapist network! ‘In Halifax, we have the Queer and Trans Therapists of Nova Scotia … And I really hope that every province has a queer and trans network. If your province doesn't, this is your sign to start one!' - Jules Smith  These networks are incredibly helpful for professional networking with other queer therapists, as well as building community and for possibly finding supervision.

Do you know some of the sweet spots to streamline your business processes? Is your Canadian private practice set up to support you, while you support your clients? Are you looking for some tips and tools that you can use to simplify your practice needs?  There are so many different platforms and apps out there that it can seem overwhelming. If you are looking for some guidance and advice from lived experience, listen and read on!  In this podcast episode, I share the different services and platforms that I personally use and recommend in my practice with you.  In this Episode: Slack  Hushmail Google Drive  Jane App  Slack  You probably already receive loads of emails each day, and it can be frustrating when admin emails get lost in between client emails, and all the rest. With Slack, you can keep any and all business-related topics, queries, requests, and ideas in one place.  Some of the great features of Slack include:  Using it as a quick easy way to chat with colleagues and staff Video calls that you could use for monthly meetings  Quick ways to tell your staff that you are unavailable, or on vacation Option to have specific group chats If you decide to get the paid plan, you then get access to the video calls feature, as well as control of when  you want communication to be deleted. Since Slack messages are not encrypted, using this option for added security can be useful.  Hushmail  If you are emailing sensitive information then you should definitely consider using Hushmail! With their opt-in or -out encryption feature, you can either select that someone receives an email with a link to open it, or not.  It's great for sending sensitive information because it's hack-proof!  ‘As a therapist, I believe that you really need to have that option of having emails encrypted. Sometimes we have to send things to insurance, sometimes we have to send things to an employer, or sometimes we have to send things to clients, and if you don't have any options for encrypting emails, that can be unethical and dangerous.' - Julia Smith  Hushmail offers affordable pricing, for only 11.99 USD a month. If you want to check it out, learn more and sign up here!  Google Drive  I've used Google Drive to write manuals for all of my assistants.  It's a great tool because they are essentially “living” documents that can be edited by the owner as well as whoever you decide to share it with, meaning that the information can always be updated and shared.  ‘One tip is every year I would copy that doc and save it on your computer … So that you have a document that isn't online in case something were to happen with Google Drive, that you have that document on your computer so it's not only living on the internet.' - Julia Smith  Jane App ‘This is the number one thing and the first thing that you should invest in. It is private practice in a box!' - Julia Smith  Jane App can do your:  Billing  Invoicing  Bookings  Charting  Group private practice feature - for an extra 15 CAD (plus tax) a month  Their in-platform video service is included in their monthly subscription price, which is 79 CAD (plus tax). Their features are also customizable, like their online-booking platform, so you can change things to complement your Canadian practice!  If you are ready to try it, use my code FEARLESS to that you can receive your first month for free when you sign up!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources Mentioned and Useful Links:  Ep 111: Marlee Rubel: Building an Online Private Practice in Toronto Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Article: How to Set Up a Canadian Private Practice Website   Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

How do you keep your online data private? Are you willing to spend a couple of extra dollars a month to secure your – and your clients! – information safely? Do you know which Canadian platforms you can use to get started?  In our increasingly digital world where we store our data online and risk hackers and data leaks, digital security cannot be undervalued or overlooked. Our clients trust us with not only their healing but also their information, so be proactive in becoming digitally safe!  In this podcast episode, I discuss the essentials of digital protection and a bunch of great, Canadian services that you can use today.  In This Episode: PIPEDA PHIA Encryption  VPN  PIPEDA PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information of for-profit and commercial activities across Canada. Luckily for Canadian therapists, most of the big electronic medical record systems used in the mental wellness industry have incorporated PIPEDA into their platforms.  ‘I highly recommend looking into Jane App because it is a Canadian-based EMR, so you know they're doing everything right in regards to Canadian privacy laws.' – Julia Smith  Learn more about PIPDEA by clicking on this link.  PHIAPHIA stands for the Personal Health Information Act, and are provincial laws that govern the collection, use, disclosure, retention, disposal, and destruction of your personal health information.  For example, in Nova Scotia, your data needs to be stored only on Canadian servers. To make sure all your bases are covered, get a Canadian EMR to be safe (even if your province doesn't require it now they may in the future!). ENCRYPTION Even though your EMR takes care of the majority of securing your data, your emails may not be so safe. Aim to make use of an email service that uses encryption to maintain your online privacy and safety.  Encryption prevents unauthorized users on the network from intercepting and capturing your login credentials, and any email messages you send or receive, as they leave your email provider's server and travel from server to server around the Internet.  ‘I always recommend with emails [to not send] too much confidential information. Rather, talk on the phone with somebody about it than send all that information. Or, courier that information instead of sending it through email.' – Julia Smith  To learn more about email encryption, click on this link.  Try Hushmail! Follow this link to receive a discounted price to use Hushmail and keep all your email data completely safe, secure, and legally stored on Canadian servers.  VPN A “virtual private network” creates an encrypted tunnel for your data, protects your online identity by hiding your IP address, and allows you to use public Wi-Fi hotspots safely.  Nord VPN is what I use to keep my work activity private online, I love how affordable and easy it is! Follow this link to get a great deal on their services through my offerings.  Some quick tips:  Turn your VPN off when you are doing online counselling because it can slow down the connection.  Delete voicemails off your phone system once you have seen and listened to them. Work with Grasshopper for a secure and easy-to-navigate phone system!   With platforms like Slack, set the system to delete old messages at least every 35 days.   Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources Mentioned and Useful Links:  Ep 35: How Do I Prepare for Private Practice While Still in Grad School?: Live Consultation With Barb Barker Article: How to Set Up a Canadian Private Practice Website  Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Listen to my podcast episode with Ali Taylor to learn more about privacy laws  Listen to my podcast episode about hiring a Canadian virtual assistant and safe virtual communication  Learn more about Hushmail on their website  Follow this link to get discounts on Hushmail and Nord VPN  Rate and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Spotify.

It's easy to minimize what we do as therapists and look at all the years of schooling, experience, and skills as something anyone can do, but there is so much value in what you offer to the world (and what you can offer to yourself if you just give yourself permission to create and live the life you want). In this episode, I talk with Marquita Johnson, therapist, dating coach, motivational speaker, business speaker, author, and amazing single mom, about her experiences building a business, caring for and conserving energy as an entrepreneur, and giving permission to herself to create and seize life-changing opportunities. We talk about: how Marquita brought dreams to reality by giving herself permission to break the mold and take the leap to follow passions and ideas how boundaries and roadblocks are things that you often set for yourself because of impostor syndrome, but you can tear them down how the question, "can I do it?" is often a sign for Marquita that she probably should how doing something first (or new) can be a catalyst for change and people to follow how each therapist has uniqueness and value in the way they do therapy (and that's their secret sauce and superpower) Marquita's passion for working with millennials balancing mommyhood as a single parent with entrepreneurship More about Marquita: Marquita Johnson is a graduate of Mercer University with a Master of Science in Community Counseling and Master of Divinity. Marquita received her undergraduate degree from Georgia State University in Psychology & Sociology. She is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, nationally certified counselor, board certified tele-mental health counselor, and certified professional counselor supervisor.

Do I Even Have Anything Meaningful To Say? Putting yourself out there can be horrifying, however, it leads to opportunities and growth. How often do we ask ourselves, why me?

Rage and Client Self-Harm An interview with Angela Caldwell, LMFT on cutting and non-suicidal self-injury. Curt and Katie talk with Angela about the causes of self-harm, the mistakes therapists make in addressing self-harm as well as how to identify reasons behind this harmful coping mechanism and how to identify when suicidality is a risk. We also look at how rage within nice families can lead to self-injury. It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. Interview with Angela Caldwell, LMFT Angela Caldwell is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Family Coach. She is the Founder and Director of the Self-Injury Institute, where her practice focuses on the treatment of self-injury from a family systems perspective, as well as the Caldwell Family Institute, where she offers out-of-the-box coaching for families that are looking for something other than therapy to help them reach their growth potential. Angela is currently on the adjunct faculty for the MFT graduate program at California State University Northridge, where she teaches family systems theories and couples therapy. She has been teaching graduate students for over a decade at four different universities, and previously taught assessment for a large majority of her teaching career. She was selected by Antioch University to design a curriculum for a new Counselor Assessment class, and has offered consultation on assessments for the last eight years. Angela has served in MFT leadership for much of her career, including holding executive offices in CAMFT and AAMFT. She has worked side by side with Ben Caldwell and other leaders on various advocacy efforts in California, most notably on the passage of SB 1172, which banned reparative therapy for minors in 2012. In this episode we talk about: Angela’s perspective on family systems and champions of families and dinner tables The mistakes in treatment planning and way of being related to self-injury What not to do when clients disclose self-harm The intrusive nature of liability-focused treatment planning and interventions in the room The need to render cutting irrelevant The role of the family treatment for addressing self-injury Non-suicidal self-injury versus suicidal self-injury (the difference is intent) “It’s important for therapists to be able to talk about suicide – to use the word suicide with the same emphasis that we use the word hamburger.” Angela Caldwell, LMFT It’s important to be direct in asking about intent “I’m cautious to link self-injury with suicide in such a short, abrupt way.” Angela Caldwell, LMFT Rage in families who are too nice leading to self-injury The profiles in non-suicidal self-injury: peer-based and rage-based Social media self-injury and mental illness competitions How rage is often misunderstood – looking at how rage and anger are very different Rage is animalistic and limbic Self-injury is rage (when anger is not useful) when you do not want to be a burden Rage comes with tactile stimulus seeking, seeking destruction Discovery is mortifying The problem with group treatment for cutting The contagion factor – Barent Walsh Co-rumination – looking at adolescent female relationships Family Therapy as the most effective treatment for non- Rewrite the family constitution around anger and anger expression Family assertiveness training, teaching families how to disagree and hurt each other’s feelings Angela’s strategy to provoke fights within the families that she sees and conducts repair Our Generous Sponsors: Hushmail Hushmail and Hush Secure Forms take the guesswork out of secure communications by providing encrypted email, web forms, and e-signatures all in one package.

“Wear a Mask” as a Therapy Directive Curt and Katie chat about COVID, science, and critical thinking in an anti-intellectual, post-truth era. We look at what therapists’ responsibilities are to the greater good, whether we should tell our clients to wear masks, and how to help clients navigate very challenging decisions that must balance mental versus physical health as well as individual versus societal needs. It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. In this episode we talk about: Should we tell our clients to wear masks? How do we help our clients navigate the complex decisions related to risk Client autonomy, transparency of goals, decreasing therapist bias How science and the greater good come into the equation Is there a duty to warn? Or duty to protect? Imminence, privacy issues Should we try to change behavior around wearing masks in public? How we address risky behavior with clients The impact of the presenting problem on deciding what we do Our responsibility to society, to our communities versus our clients Psychoeducation and alternate facts The process of making decisions around health and safety Sorting through and gaining agreement on what is truth Therapists needing to be informed and be able to sort through expert information The importance of critical thinking and the scientific method Anti-science, anti-intellectualism, and cognitive dissonance How to meet your client where they are while also not colluding with unhealthy beliefs Helping our clients to navigate the current challenges to balance physical vs mental health needs, individual vs societal needs The responsibility to bring up healthy decisions for our clients through psychoeducation The complexity of decision-making during these times Our Generous Sponsors: Hushmail Hushmail and Hush Secure Forms take the guesswork out of secure communications by providing encrypted email, web forms, and e-signatures all in one package.

Stephanie was a senior Bank Examiner for the Federal Reserve and has promoted security awareness for CERT and others. Today she sits down to talk about what we can and cannot do to protect ourselves and keep our personal information safe. We also geek out about AI for a moment!  ***Check out the MindPod event in LA on March 18th!*** Stephanie's Art   ///Here are Stephanie's tips for your security "1.) To make sure your computer's firewall is on: On a Mac, open System Preferences, open the Security & Privacy preferences, and click the Firewall tab. Bonus: Click on Firewall Options and check Enable Stealth Mode to make your Mac less discoverable. (It will stop responding to some common network reconnaissance techniques.) On a Windows PC, open Control Panel and then Windows Firewall to see the firewall status. If you want to get fancy and try some alternative firewalls for Windows, there are many options, such as ZoneAlarm Free Firewall or Comodo Firewall. You only really need one firewall, so choose the one you prefer.  2.) Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi networks, whether or not they require a password for access. A VPN encrypts the traffic you are sending over the network, so anyone snooping on traffic won’t be able to decipher yours. I use Witopia, which has good support and is fairly easy to set up, but there are many options. How to use a VPN: Log on to a public Wi-Fi network. Once you are connected, BEFORE doing anything else or visiting any other sites, log in to your VPN service. Then launch your web browser and you can surf more securely.  3.) Consider a password manager. You can use one that stores passwords on your computer, for example Keychain Access or KeePass, or one that stores passwords online like LastPass. It’s a personal choice. Pluses: You don’t need to type your passwords each time you want to use them. Copying-and-pasting passwords protects you from key loggers (malicious software programs that capture your keystrokes in an attempt to capture your passwords). Caveats: Use a strong master password, and don’t forget it or you could lose access to your passwords permanently (especially with some password managers that store passwords on your computer). Also, be aware that online password managers can be and have been compromised, so be prepared to change your master password promptly if you receive notification of a compromise.  4.) You can reduce the amount of data stored about your web searches by logging out of your Google account before searching, as well as frequently clearing your browser cookies/history/cache or using Private Browsing or Incognito Mode. If you want to search the web with no trace, consider using DuckDuckGo, which does not track or store search queries at all. For example, to clear your browser data in Chrome: From the Chrome menu, choose Clear Browsing Data and check off as many boxes as you like. Be aware that this will leave you logged out of websites such as Facebook, and you’ll have to log back in later.  5.) Don’t plug untrusted USB drives (flash drives) or other untrusted devices into your computer. They can introduce malicious software directly to your system. (We didn't discuss this, but I think it's important to mention here.) 6.) Consider hard drive encryption if losing your laptop would be catastrophic from a data-leak perspective. Caveat: If you forget the password to decrypt your hard drive, you will lose access to your data. Some programs allow you to create sub-drives on your hard drive and then encrypt just those sub-drives. Caveat: Same as for whole-drive encryption: Don’t forget the decryption password or you could permanently lose access to your data!  7.) If you’re taking your smartphone into a high-risk situation (as defined by you), you can remove as many email accounts and apps as you want from your phone. It’s easy to reinstall them later.  8.) Think of email as a postcard that you send to someone. Other people along the sending path may be able to read it. One possible solution for privacy is Canada-based Hushmail, which allows end-to-end encryption of email messages. Caveat: Both sender and recipient need to have Hushmail accounts with strong passwords and check the “encrypted” box before sending messages with the service. Be aware that Hushmail can decrypt emails on their end and will do so if they get a request that’s enforceable under local laws, so use it for privacy, not illegal activity. 9.) Rather than sending plain-text texts, you can use end-to-end encryption for messaging. Two possible solutions are the Signal app and Off-the-Record Messaging. Remember to periodically delete local messages from your phone/device; otherwise, losing your device could expose all of your messages. 10.) If you’re on Windows, an antivirus program may be useful, but you certainly don’t need to have 20 antivirus programs running at once. Some options include Windows Defender, AVG and Avast, but there are many others.  Further Reading: There are lots of guides online to securing your computer. One interesting guide is at https://spideroak.com/infosec and gives you some different perspectives on ways to secure your online accounts."

Dropping Off The Grid: A Growing Movement In AmericaNow is your chance to flee society. Drop off the grid. Pull a Thoreau. Be you a survivalist, an environmentalist or a cheapskate-ist, you can join the growing movement of Americans embracing off-grid living."There's a desire to step out of the rat race, and in America, that goes very deep in the national psyche," says Nick Rosen, author of "Off the Grid: Inside the Movement for More Space, Less Government, and True Independence in Modern America" and editor of www.off-grid.net. "You know, the pioneering spirit and sturdy self-reliance -- these things which define the American character."For some off-griders, it's a matter of having little or no impact on the environment -- literally living off the power grid. This lifestyle has been championed by celebrities Daryl Hannah and Ed Begley Jr. Then there are those who no longer want to be a blip on the societal radar."Off-grid living is a spectrum that unites greens and survivalists," says Rosen, referring to those who choose to escape city life because they either don't trust the government or don't want it meddling in their affairs.Whether you’re a Civil libertarian or just want to be private, you can relax and worry less about the intrusive State with its Big Brother databases, at least in the UK. Civil servants running the new systems are so incompetent (e.g. the Ministry of Defence stolen laptop) that the biggest fear is them losing your data. But private industry is another matter. From Facebook to Microsoft, They are watching You. Now the US Senate is considering a “do not track” command that could be issued by individual internet users.The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee held a hearing Wednesday to debate what – if any – privacy protections Internet users should be given. Most of the senators on hand agreed that consumers know little about who or what is tracking their browsing behavior.The UK government is burning $500m a year to build a national ID database that will duplicate the passport system and only cover those of us law abiding enough to register under our real names. Corporate databases will create their own parallel versions, or license government data for their own security checks.But you can take a few steps to protect your privacy. Follow these simple tips, and Big Brother will be no bother:1. How to Get an Anonymous CellphoneGo to a town you have never visited before, to an area with no CCTV cameras and pay a homeless person to buy a pay-as-you-go mobile phone for you. That way no shop will have your image on its CCTV. You will also have an anonymous mobile.In order to keep your anonymity, top it up in a shop with no CCTV outside. Or dispense with the phone altogether and return to the humble payphone, now the preserve of tourists and the super-poor.Even if you stick to your traceable phone, leave it switched off whenever possible to avoid having your movements tracked. Many phones are still traceable, so you need to take the battery out to be certain. If you have a Bluetooth phone, keep the service switched off because this is now being tested for advertising and other marketing activities.2. Hide Your EmailIf you use one of the free, web-based services like Gmail, your communications are being stored to build up a picture of your interests. Instead, you can use a service called Hushmail to send encrypted emails. Or work out a private code with friends you want to communicate with.You do not need an email address of your own. One hacker I spoke to sends emails from cybercafes via The Observer website, using the service which allows anyone to send any article to a friend. He embeds his message into the covering note which goes with the article.Others with their own computer use the free XeroBank browser (in preference to Explorer or Firefox), which includes several privacy-enhancing add-ons and sends all data through a network ‘cloud’ which hides most of the data you normally give away as you use a computer, but at the cost of reduced speed.3. Protect Your Computer FilesThere is sophisticated software that deletes all traces of your activities from your computer. Assuming you don’t have access to this, it is still worth remembering the data about you contained inside each file. Many digital photos, for example, contain within them the serial number of the camera that took them. Word documents contain the name of the author as well as traces of previous drafts.4. Stay Off Spam Mailing ListsEach time you submit your email address to register for a new website, create a special address, either on a free webmail service or on your own email server so you have control over it. Then, if the company later sells your email address or loses it through poor security, you will know exactly who to blame. And you will be able to close the account or block all email to that particular address. Again, Hushmail is useful for this. You can set it up to create these aliases for you.5. Stop Supermarkets Snooping on Your ShoppingSwap your supermarket loyalty card with a friend or acquaintance every few months, after having cashed in any points you have accumulated (treat Oyster and other local transport cards the same way). You lose no benefits and it prevents tracking of specific purchasing patterns (or journeys) tied to your name and address. Use cash more often – save your credit card for emergencies.6. Mess Up Utility Companies’ Marketing PlansLive off-grid, unplugged from the system with solar panels and rainwater harvesting. There are thousands of people living without mains power, water or sewerage, all over the UK and the US, in isolated cottages, behind hedgerows in caravans or in groups of yurts in country fields. And this is not just a movement for tree huggers and climate campers. Many live on boats in towns and cities, and if you live in a flat or house, you can still unplug.Get a laptop with wireless capability. There are plenty of hot spots where you can check your email or browse for free.Thunderbird Mail transfer agent is available free from the same folks that brought you Firefox. The Enigmail plug-in allows encrypted email and file transfer with up to a 4096 bit key. I’ve tested it with Windows, Mac and UNIX for interoperability. Combined with a Gmail account that be configured for TLS (Similar to HTTPS) connections, it makes for a fairly secure package and it’s all free. It won’t stop NSA from reading your mail but will for most everyone else.How does one just disappear off the face of the earth? Is it as simple as moving away to another country? First you have to understand who you are running from. If you are running from an abusive partner, know that they have limited resources and might have a problem if you move out of state or out of the country. If you are running from the FBI for example, understand that these people have unlimited resources and will do everything in your power to hunt you down even if you move to another country.Before going underground, you have to do a few things in order to throw your opposition away from your trail. You have to destroy the "old" you and build a new you. Destroy all photographs you can get possession of. Some of your friends or relatives might be hesitant to give you their photographs but let them understand that the people chasing you might go after them, too, because of their connection to you. They will threaten your loved ones with physical or other forms of abuse if they refuse to hand over photographs. If it is not possible; destroy all the most recent pictures of yourself and leave the old ones. Of course you don't want your face plastered all over the state but if it is an artist's rendition or just an old photo, chances are high that people won't recognize you.Destroy or throw away all your credit cards and ATM cards. Government authorities can pinpoint your location within seconds if you use your magnetic cards. Before going underground, be sure to withdraw all your money from the bank and max out all your credit cards with the things you'll need or you can resell for cash. Do not bring your car with you. That will be the first thing that the opposition will look for. Leave your car in place where car thieves will be and let them strip your car clean to remove any trace of it. If you need transportation, there are a lot of places where you can simply give money and get a new car without any identification required. Just make sure you aren't buying a stolen car or the car itself doesn't violate any safety rules. The last thing you want as you are making your escape is to be pulled over for a simple safety violation.if (WIDGETBOX) WIDGETBOX.renderWidget('66f56d16-759e-496f-bc83-6083e68c5e3d');Get the Surveillance and Security Video Library widget and many other great free widgets at Widgetbox!
