Reflections on Content Creation and the Therapy Profession

35 minutes

Curt and Katie chat about our principles and philosophies as they relate to the work we do, including podcast creation. We also reflect on the feedback we’ve received on episodes with large listenership as well as other typical responses we get to the work we do. Considering content creation as part of your business? This isn’t a how-to, but it certainly can give you things to consider before you dive in.

In this podcast episode we talk about how we put together the podcast

We’ve received a lot of feedback recently about our episodes and we wanted to talk about how we make decisions on what we talk about, who we interview, whether we call folks out on the podcast, and how we edit the episodes.

Our Philosophy and Principles for creating content for the Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide

How to navigate the career as is (tools and strategies to survive in this field)

The importance of advocacy in moving forward with our field

How to strategically time advocacy for best effect

How we take in feedback and respond

Responding to Feedback from our Audience on our “What’s New in the DSM-5-TR?” Episode

The concern about the Autism diagnosis changes

Whether we should have called out Dr. Michael B. First and the impressions of what was said

Grappling with the tension between protecting our audience and getting our guests on record and/or advocating for change in the larger systems

How people can impact what becomes DSM 6 (and the efforts we are advocating for)

The feedback we received and how we sort through it and improve

The limits of our capacity

Our plans for additional interviews to address the changes

A Broader View of the Feedback We Receive on the Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Podcast

The depth of the conversation and our ability to deepen conversations with additional episodes

Audience members anchoring on the title or episode artwork and not looking at the whole episode when pieces of the content resonate in a different way

Our Plan Going Forward with the Podcast

Advocacy, information, and focus on the profession

Not as much of a focus on business building, money mindset, and side hustles

Real conversations about the realities of working in this profession

Working to leave the profession better than we find it
