In 2023, I came into contact with PCM. I wanted more insight into my own behavior and how I could improve it in combination with others. Understanding, connection, and trust were central to me. I was enthusiastic right from the start: PCM shows how you view the world, and how that can be different from someone else's perspective. That awareness has yielded me a great deal. 

I learned to recognize what is mine and what belongs to the other person. Behavior isn't always okay, but you are okay and I am okay. That realization brings freedom. I now find it easier to stay true to myself, make more conscious choices, and understand better why others react the way they do. I recognize my own patterns and those of others, without judgment. 

In healthcare, I see many people who constantly care for others but forget about themselves. They do not speak up or translate their complaints into action because they often do not really know what they want or need themselves. And so they say nothing at all – with the result that an undercurrent develops. Through PCM, I discovered how important it is to take care of myself as well. 

Since I have been actively working on this, I have noticed in our practice that the team experiences more safety and freedom. Communication is more open. By reflecting together, we learn to take better care of ourselves – and as a result, we can also take better care of others.
