Am I a Bad Therapist?

Join us for stories from behind the closed therapy door. You’ll hear relatable experiences from other therapists, including bloopers, highlight reels, and other ridiculous moments that you thought you were the only one experiencing.

Each episode contains 50% inspiration, 50% storytelling, and 100% real humans and their journey in the mental health field.

With burnout running rampant, the last thing you need is another podcast that adds to your to-do list, so drop the notebook. This is a space with no experts, gurus, or hierarchies- just humans sitting in similar chairs.

We’re not the gatekeepers for good and bad therapy but we are here to shine a light on the difficult decisions therapists face on a daily basis – and normalize the mysterious gray area of clinical practice that no one wants to talk about.

New and seasoned therapists, graduate students, agency employees, private practice owners, and entrepreneurs – this one is for you.

64. Pay Your Dues, Kid Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

Can therapists work in private practice right away, or is there an unwritten rule that we have to first pay our dues in community mental health? Joanna shares her goal of working in private practice right out of graduate school and how our field sometimes makes us feel like we have to "pay our dues" in community mental health first. We explore why it's important to consider all settings when thinking about internship and practicum, what the phrase "boots on the ground" really means, and the helpful reminder that therapists are needed in all settings.

62. Are You a Bad Therapist or Are You Just Triggered? Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Transference and countertransference - we learned about it in grad school and talk about it a lot as clinicians, but do we really break it down enough to understand the impact? Join us as we hear from Becca who shares her journey in understanding and using transference and countertransference in the therapy room. Transference might feel like a familiar topic, but the conversation will go differently than you think!

61. Addicted Therapist Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Many of us learned a lot about ourselves during COVID, saw how we coped with different situations, and how that could even impact our work as therapists. Join us as we hear from Taylor who realized she had unhealthy coping skills and strategies during that time. Taylor also shares how she recognized when addiction was taking over her life outside of the clinical room, how it may have been impacting her inside the clinical room and what she did about it to manage her career throughout the process.
