Since 2021, I've been running a free virtual grief support group for foreigners living in the Netherlands. I'm now running a fourth iteration of the group and inviting new members to join.

I started this group because of my own grief journey. I noticed a lack of services for non-Dutch speaking people in the Netherlands during the covid pandemic. Grief abroad is difficult, lonely, and comes with unique challenges. If you know someone in need of support, please feel free to share the group with them:

For more info, contact me directly at info@rainspsychology.com or IG: RAINS Psychology (I am new at IG, so please be patient for a response).

Warmly,
Christina

Excited to participate in another Now I See A Person virtual conference!

There are many reasons why myself, Dr Jessica Taylor, and countless other professionals have raised concerns regarding showing Adolescence in schools as a blanket approach. But one of my main issues has to be how inherently contradictory this approach would be.

A key theme in adolescence is that teachers & educators disengage from meaningful learning by simply showing videos instead of actively teaching.

By asking schools to show this very video as a national resource with ZERO wraparound support, the government risks mirroring and reinforcing the exact critique in the drama. This not only contradicts the message of the drama itself, but further undermines the professionalism of educators, reduces complex safeguarding issues to a passive experience, and may deepen mistrust among students.

While the intentions may be well meaning, this proposal raises a number of serious concerns, particularly regarding safeguarding, educational ethics, and trauma-informed practice.
Together, myself & Jessica Taylor have written an open letter outlining these concerns and calling on the government to reconsider this approach.

We are now gathering signatures from members of the public as well as professionals across education, psychology, youth work, safeguarding, and the VAWG sector.
If you would like to add your name as a signatory, you can access the full open letter in the comment section below.

A day in the life of an international remote psychologist. This is how I do Narrative Exposure Therapy online.

Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a short term treatment for clients with multiple and complex trauma. The aim is to help the client establish a coherent life narrative in which to contextualize traumatic experiences. NET helps improve symptoms of depression and PTSD.

I'm honored to be joining panelists online this Sunday, December 1 for the Now I See A Person Institute's Normalizing Ourselves for the Other virtual conference. I will be discussing my experiences with the Dutch mental health system during the COVID-19 pandemic and my journey to adopting an anti-pathology approach to client care.

The virtual conference is Dec. 1 from 10am-1pm PST (19.00-22.00 CET). If you'd like to attend, please register at the link: https://nowiseeaperson.com/conference-registration/

Please note there is a suggested donation and CEU credits are available for professionals.

The Now I See A Person Institute (NISAPI) is excited to host our fourth virtual conference, featuring a panel of clinicians, former and current learners, and recovery consultants. Their work challenges traditional mental health narratives and demonstrates how dialogical connections—along with embracing the broader context—can foster healing, normalize roles, and create genuine, caring relationships that promote collaborative, generative change.

Hope to see you there!
