The Pillow Fort Sessions Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with LeeAnne, a clinical supervisor who shares how she found her way into this role and why she stayed. We talk about what drew her to supervision in the first place, what she’s learned along the way, and the unique challenges and joys that come with supporting other clinicians.

We also get into vicarious trauma, how it shows up in the work, what it can teach us, and how we can care for ourselves while caring for others. It’s an honest and reflective conversation about holding space, staying grounded, and showing up for the work (and each other).

In this episode, we sit down with the Pillow Fort’s very first intern, Masaaki, a graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill. He shares what inspired his journey toward this career path, what it’s been like stepping into the field, and even offers his hot take on Labubus.
