If You Can’t Explain It, You’re Guessing: How to Strengthen Your Clinical Reasoning


Listen Later

Ever had a client ask, “Why are we doing this?” and you froze? Or maybe your supervisor challenged a recommendation, and you stumbled over your explanation? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into what clinical reasoning really is, why so many struggle with it, and how to build the confidence to explain your decisions with clarity and conviction.

We’ll unpack:

  • Why clinical reasoning feels so hard (and what it’s NOT).

  • The 3 levels of reasoning you may move through, from beginner to advanced.

  • Practical strategies you can start using right now to strengthen your clinical reasoning.

  • Why you can’t develop strong reasoning in isolation, and how mentoring helps you bridge the gap.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to move from guessing to confidently backing up your clinical decisions.
