Today we are diving into what compassionate accountability looks like from a therapist's perspective, a client's perspective, and a supervisor's perspective. We are joined with Kathryn Jargo, LPCC to discuss how to navigate tough conversations and holding people accountable. When we hold people accountable in a compassionate way, it should motivate, inspire, and make them to feel cared for: so how do we do this?
