Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leading Through the Storm – Mental Health in the Modern Workplace
Q: What is the balance between individual therapy and organizational change in your work?
Her approach starts with the individual to build trust and safety, then expands to include the boss and the board to align organizational goals, all while maintaining privacy and measurable progress within 8–12 sessions as a signal to reassess.
Leading Through the Storm – Mental Health in the Modern Workplace
Q: How do you approach helping a leader who is highly competent but lacks emotional intelligence?
She emphasizes a hard-science framing of emotional competence, using motivation, reflective questioning, and practical tools to help leaders work with their own and others' emotions, without turning therapy into fluffy coaching. The goal is to translate emotional data into actionable leadership improvements and personal well-being.
Leading Through the Storm – Mental Health in the Modern Workplace
Q: Can you explain how organizational psychology differs from clinical psychology and where your practice sits between the two?
Tatjana explains IO psychology focuses on people at work, collaboration, leadership development, and culture, while clinical psychology centers on diagnosing and treating mental health issues. In practice, she works with executives individually to support leadership and team dynamics, then integrates organizational work to benefit the whole system.
Understanding Trauma and the Path to Healing
Q: What is the difference between big T and little T trauma, and why is that distinction problematic?
The terminology can be invalidating; trauma is trauma regardless of the event's perceived magnitude. The impact on an individual depends on their experience and interpretation, so clinicians should validate all trauma experiences and treat them with appropriate evidence-based methods rather than categorizing them as big or little.
Understanding Trauma and the Path to Healing
Q: How do you explain trauma to clients who may not have a clear sense of what it is?
Trauma is not just about the event itself but about how overwhelmed the person feels and how much control they perceive they have in the moment. By using simple language and analogies, we help clients understand why memories may be fragmented and why therapy focuses on re-establishing control and structure.
