This is the moment to take a quick look at your insurance and see if anything needs an update. Make sure to check whether Gestalt Therapy is reimbursed under alternative medicine in your policy before the new year begins if you are considering it.
For me, offering Gestalt Therapy means being part of the world, part of the environment of my clients, and this needs both responsibility and flexibility.
By being a member of the Dutch and European Gestalt associations, and the RBCZ (umbrella); I commit myself to ongoing learning, self-reflection, and maintaining the right standards and procedures.
All so that you receive the quality of care you deserve.
Quality, for me, means:
- plenty of supervision and intervision
- my own learning therapy
- workshops, seminars, reading, and chewing on Gestalt theory with colleagues in similarities and differences.
- staying attuned to how individual struggles are often part of something larger in the world, that I am also a part off and interact with.
Ultimately, all of this comes together in one simple moment: when I step into my room, sit in my chair, empty myself, and meet the person in front of me — fully, openly, exactly where they are. Being present for how they carry their life.
Especially in the wild growth of therapists and coaches (on a spectrum between aloof and over-protocollisation) it’s good to know there’s people working hard to keep a high standard, behind the curtains of this therapy that holds both ends. Depth and responsibility.
