Fuck The Rules Podcast
Season 2 Episode 5

Erika Hansen, The Rebel Therapist and owner of Hobein Counseling Services, joins me this episode to talk about what grad school likely didn't teach people - and certainly didn't teach us - about being a therapist in the real world outside of a clinic setting. We also chat about her experience as a SASS (Screening, Assessment and Support Services) crisis therapist, getting supervision, community mental health and law enforcement/mobile crisis, as well as her work now in private practice.

Season 2 Episode 1

And I'm back for Season 2!

Child No. 1 (aka Seneca) asked to interview me, and I agreed. We talk about the difference between being seen in an ER setting and in private practice. I talk about working with patients or client that may have suicidal ideation. We discuss what it's like to have therapists that were not the best for us and what you can do about it if you're not grooving with your therapist. How I went into seeing First Responders, Law Enforcement and hospital staff in addition to those in the LGBTQ+ community. And finally, how the fuck I ended up with seven kids when I had planned on being childless when I was younger.

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of mental health evaluations in an ER setting, suicide/suicidal ideation, and negative therapy experiences.
