Who we are and how we show up in the room is often referred to as “clinical persona,” and directly relates to our clinical niche(s). However, it is also wrapped up in power and oppression and messages we were given, either overt or covert, about what was appropriate or acceptable.

Mental health practitioners are not trained to think like business owners and business principles have a messy relationship with capitalism. Collective care is complicated and mental health practitioners don’t often include their care in the equation – from telehealth vs. brick and mortar office to cutting overloaded caseloads, we cover a lot.

Yes, we know there were a lot of microphone troubles this episode. If you want us to not be amateur editors, please support the pod financially!

This is a brief note about events going on in the decolonizing community that took place just last week, 4 months since we recorded episode 5. We encourage you to take a quick listen, before you delve into our next Episode. 

Until next time, 

Rest easy. 

In this episode, we wrestle with a long-held concern that mental health practitioners do not really choose the profession and what would it actually mean or look like for that to occur. This was, like all our conversations, an imperfect one. We hope our out loud struggle helps other healers out there.

In this episode, we dive into co-host, Dr. Ksera Dyette's experience in graduate school. She discusses the highs, the lows, the middling and more. From not being sure what she wanted to do, to not having enough money to fill her gas tank, to discriminatory experiences in school, a lot is covered, and it is still not everything.

On this episode, meet your hosts Dr. Ksera Dyette (she/her) and Blanca Torres (she/her), two queer, intersectional, feminist clinicians at different points in our career journey's. Hear who we are, what brings us to the podcast world, and how addressing the injustices in the mental health field have long been a part of our clinician DNA.
