“May I record this conversation?”
A question you would rather explore together before rather than during the conversation. A recording request can have various reasons: wanting to listen back to something, not wanting to miss anything, or needing guidance.
That is precisely why clear alignment can bring peace. For example, take a moment to reflect together on:
• the purpose of the recording;
• what you both need to feel comfortable;
• the agreements regarding use and storage.
There is no universal answer for every situation. However, an open conversation can help to carefully give space to professional boundaries and the working relationship.

A loved one wants to accompany you to the intake. What now?
A recognizable situation for which there is no universal answer. That is precisely why it helps to make room for alignment before the conversation.
What does the client need? What feels appropriate? And what expectations do you want to clarify with everyone beforehand?
By considering who is at the table and what role each person plays, you give client control and professional clarity a place from the very beginning.

【☆】Raffle!【☆】
In October we are allowed to Mens Publishing! We are raffling off the card set The Wise Body Sensorimotor Psychotherapy exercises for awareness, regulation, and growth among our followers on Facebook.
Our body carries a treasure trove of wisdom within. It harbors knowledge about our past traumatic experiences, our relationships with others, our resources, and our potential for growth. This knowledge is often not directly accessible but manifests itself in bodily sensations, postures, and movements. The exercises in this card set are intended to clarify the innate and unique knowledge present within our body and how we can deepen our embodied connection with ourselves, with others, and with the world.
As a care provider, you can use these cards to support clients. The cards help deepen self-insight and improve the quality of life.
You can win this card set on October 19th if you;
*leaves a thumbs up under this post;
*let us know in a comment why you could make good use of this card set;
are a follower of the NFG Facebook page.
【☆】Good luck!【☆】

Quality is more than a quality mark. It is also in what happens between two sessions.
For NFG care providers, quality assurance means, among other things, demonstrating participation in continuing education, training, and peer supervision or professional supervision every two years. In addition, there is an inspection every five years to monitor quality.
In this way, quality does not become an abstract concept, but a practice of continuous learning, reflection, and assessment.
Share this with a colleague or client who wants to know what quality assurance means.
