An insightful (and Jungian) talk about the role of countertransference: how it shows up, how to work with it in session, and what it might ask of you in your private life outside the office. Join me in talk with adjunct professor and private psychoanalyst, Jessica Urzua.

New therapists spend a lot of time jockeying competence, comfort, “faking it”, and authenticity until they find their own identity and voice in a practice that’s uniquely their own. Paul Silverman and I discuss the journey of the recent MFT graduate and what to expect in this foundational, developmental phase of a therapist’s career.

Mark Welte talks with HighPass founder and MFT Ben Caldwell about the L/E test. How to address it, how to prepare for it, and tips on making it as anxiety-free as possible--and pass the first time.

In this episode we don't talk about clinical matters or things related to the job, but about personal finances. The AMFT years can be financially lean, and financial advisor Steve Miles of Sutro Advisors lays out how to navigate the first few years with less stress.

And let me give overdue credit to Nancy Sorrell for her wonderful musical intro and outro! I love this piece! nan_cy_nance on IG
