            • The Fight to Save Psychotherapy

              It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when therapists must develop a personal brand to market their practices.

              To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

              Interview with Benjamin E. Caldwell, Psy.D. Dr. Benjamin Caldwell is the author of five books, including Basics of California Law for LMFTs, LPCCs, and LCSWs, which is now on its fourth edition, and Saving Psychotherapy, which has been the focus of several invited conference presentations. He serves as adjunct faculty for California State University Northridge and The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. In his role as Chair of the Legislative and Advocacy Committee for the California Division of AAMFT, he has been directly involved in California's first-in-the-nation ban on reparative therapy for minors, and he drove the change in title from "intern" to "associate" for prelicensed MFTs and PCCs. For his advocacy work, he was awarded the AAMFT Division Contribution Award in 2013. He is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (#42723) and maintains a private practice in Los Angeles, specializing in working with couples. In this episode we talk about:

              • Why psychotherapy needs to be saved, looking at the huge financial barriers to entering the profession and the diminishing amount of money spent on treatment.
              • The advocacy needed to address training requirements, outdated laws and ethical codes, etc.
              • The importance of being clear in communicating what we do, how we’re different from each other, and why we do what we do
              • Why people don’t like or trust therapists
              • How Evidence Based Practices are impacting the field
              • Why we’ve not become more effective as a profession
              • The need to improve therapists, not treatment protocols
              • The “way of being” of a therapist is more important than the clinical interventions used
              • Deliberate Practice
              • How to improve workplaces to take better care of therapists
              • How to advocate at each stage of your career

                • Compassion Fatigue

                  It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when therapists must develop a personal brand to market their practices.

                  To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

                  Interview with Jennifer Blough, LPC

                  Jennifer Blough is a licensed professional counselor, certified compassion fatigue therapist, certified pet loss grief recovery specialist, and the owner of Deepwater Counseling in southeast Michigan. In addition to counseling individuals and couples, she presents compassion fatigue workshops to animal welfare and veterinary organizations. She is the author of the book To Save a Starfish: A Compassion Fatigue Workbook for the Animal Welfare Warrior, and the host of The Compassion Fatigue Podcast.

                  In this episode we talk about:

                  • The symptoms of compassion fatigue and how to recognize it
                  • Jen’s story and how she became a therapist for animal welfare professionals
                  • The buffers for “the normal cost of caring”
                  • Self-care and support
                  • Compassion satisfaction (getting joy from your work)
                  • Focusing her practice on animal welfare professionals and pet loss, without closing herself off to others who she can help
                  • The unique challenges of animal welfare professionals and how to support these people with the constant grief and loss associated with caring for animals
                  • Considerations for therapists working with animal welfare professionals
                  • The vegan lifestyle and how it intersects with the clinical work
                  • Suggestions for self-care and coping with compassion fatigue
                  • Animal rights activism
                  • How to empower yourself rather than traumatize yourself in doing the research and work to support your passion and mission
                  • How anger, depression, guilt, and isolation can increase the impact of compassion fatigue
                  • Resources mentioned:
