Hij schreef graag, dus toen hij met een pen in zijn hand voor haar stond, zag Carla geen gevaar. Tot hij plotseling zei dat zij de duivel was — en haar met diezelfde (geslepen) pen in haar borst stak. Carla de Bruyn Jansen werkte destijds op een gesloten GGZ-afdeling. Wat haar is bijgebleven, is niet alleen de schrik en een lidteken, maar vooral de vraag: hoe ga je als professional effectief met agressief gedrag om? En liefst op een humane manier, maar zonder je zelf te kort te doen? Carla is een boeiende en stevige persoonlijkheid. Op haar website kun je dit over haar lezen: Het hoort er niet bij. Agressie in de zorg. Gewoon níet. Dit elke hulpverlener (en organisatie) tot in de vezels duidelijk maken: Dát is mijn missie. Als dochter van een ambulanceverpleegkundige en een politiechef ben ik wel wat hectiek gewend. In Drenthe opgegroeid tussen de piepers en de piepers. Een negen tot vijf mentaliteit heb ik niet met de paplepel meegekregen. Veiligheid wel. Mijn vader die in burger een (nog) grotere man aanspreekt op onbehoorlijk gedrag, die toch op zijn vrije avond met de auto achter mijn moeder in ambulance aanrijdt omdat het een steekincident betreft. Mijn moeder die op mijn basisschool de leerlingen in groep 8 EHBO-les geeft, want 'Daar kan je niet vroeg genoeg mee beginnen'. Op de basisschool laat ik al niet met me sollen. Die jongen die op kisten naar school komt en mij voor de lol tegen de schenen schopt? Die krijgt een trap terug. En als ik op de middelbare school word gepest omdat ik weiger merkkleding te dragen om erbij te horen, loop ik rustig een heel jaar in legerkleding rond. Tot grote hilariteit van mijn familie en vrienden, maar voor mij serieuze taal. Inmiddels heb ik geleerd niet terug te schoppen, maar vind ik een respectvolle sociale omgang nog steeds belangrijk, net als authenticiteit. Het 'had ik maar' overkomt mij niet zo heel erg snel. Tpot zover Carla. In mijn nieuwste podcastaflevering spreek ik Carla over: omgaan met onvoorspelbare agressie (vanuit psychose of trauma), hoe je grenzen aangeeft zonder escalatie, waarom sociale veiligheid in teams zelden vanzelf ontstaat. Ook als je niet in de zorg werkt, is dit een gesprek dat raakt. Want elke coach, begeleider of teamleider kan te maken krijgen met spanning, grenzen en de vraag: hoe blijf ik gezond en heel in dit soort situaties?Meer over Carla lees je hier: https://www.catova.nl/

Medical necessity—a term that seems straightforward—often becomes a complex hurdle in the world of healthcare, especially in mental health. Joe Feldman, founder of Cover My Mental Health, sheds light on the disconnect between clinical care and legal frameworks, and shares how his nonprofit empowers patients and clinicians to navigate these challenges effectively. What is Medical Necessity? Contrary to what many assume, "medical necessity" is not a clinical term; it's a legal one. As Feldman explains, most healthcare professionals are trained in safe, effective care aligned with ethical standards, not in decoding the legal intricacies of medical necessity. This disconnect often leads to insurance denials, leaving patients stranded without the care they need. Feldman highlights a key concern: insurance companies often deny claims for higher levels of care, such as intensive outpatient programs or residential treatment, by deeming them “not medically necessary.” This decision-making process frequently prioritizes cost-cutting over patient well-being.

Starting and running a private practice is a journey filled with challenges, growth opportunities, and the potential for both professional and personal fulfillment. Gordon Brewer, a seasoned mental health professional and founder of The Practice of Therapy, reflects on his journey into private practice, sharing insights that are both inspiring and practical for current and aspiring private practitioners. The Journey to Autonomy Gordon began his private practice journey in 2006 after gaining extensive experience working in nonprofit agencies. While he credits his nonprofit work for providing invaluable clinical training, he found himself drawn to private practice for its autonomy and financial potential. Transitioning to full-time private practice in 2010 marked a pivotal moment in his career, one that required him to embrace the challenges and opportunities of running his own business. Mindset Matters: Developing a Business Perspective A recurring theme in Gordon's advice is the importance of adopting a business mindset. To thrive in private practice, clinicians must view their work not just as a therapeutic endeavor but as a business venture. This includes understanding: Return on Investment (ROI): Assessing where to invest time and money to maximize success. Profitability: Ensuring income exceeds expenses to sustain and grow the practice. Systems and Processes: Establishing efficient workflows to optimize operations. “Clarity around your ‘why' is essential,” Gordon emphasizes. For many, the “why” includes achieving autonomy, earning more, and escaping the bureaucracy of agency work.

Reflecting on her own journey, she explains how hiring a business coach early on was instrumental to her success, giving her the clarity and direction to create her own coaching program, where she now teaches therapists the systems and marketing strategies that fueled her rapid growth.

Stacy K. Nakell is a licensed clinical social worker, certified group psychotherapist, certified clinical trauma practitioner, and author. She has spent the past fifteen years in private practice in Austin, TX, providing individual and group psychotherapy to clients struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs).  In this episode of the Practice of Therapy Podcast, Stacy advocates for recognizing body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) as distinct from OCD due to their unique characteristics. Frustrated with the sole focus on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) by the Trichotillomania Learning Center, she turned to psychodynamic therapy to explore the root causes of her own behaviors, leading her to write "Treatment for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors." Her book promotes an integrative psychodynamic approach that combines body awareness and cognitive and behavioral elements and emphasizes the therapeutic relationship. Through a case study, Stacy illustrates how therapy can help patients process trauma and develop self-compassion. She suggests BFRBs often arise in individuals with physiological sensitivity and nervous system dysregulation, worsened by family stress and internalized emotions. Stacy calls for a trauma-informed approach to uncover and address underlying emotions for more effective and lasting treatment.
