  • Summary

  • Beyond "Being a Therapist is Hard Work": Curt and Katie respond to listener feedback Curt and Katie received feedback on a recent episode, Don’t Let Tik Tok Fool You: Being a therapist is hard work, an interview with Anita Avedian and Sandra Kushnir. We talk through the feedback that the perspective was too one-sided (primarily from the employer angle) and that it was too much in support of the status quo. We share our perspectives as well as how big of a challenge we’re facing as a profession to become sustainable. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about the challenges of making the therapy profession more sustainable We received a lot of feedback about our episode with Anita Avedian and Sandra Kushnir. We decided it was worth addressing the feedback directly and continue the conversation. Why is there a tension between experienced and new mental health professionals? · The “necessary” tension between those who support what is and those who advocate for what should be · Supervisors or managers who reinforce what has been seen to be unsustainable in the field · New clinicians coming in and advocating for things to be better and more sustainable · The challenge with innovating when the system has burned someone out What are the primary challenges in the therapy profession in 2024? · Burnout · Lower pay (that is not keeping up with inflation) · A workload that seems unsustainable, especially to newer clinicians What can therapists do to improve their profession? · Read Saving Psychotherapy by Dr. Ben Caldwell · Look for opportunities to reimagine the field, by looking at other sectors (or disruptors in the field like technology) · Support advocacy efforts through unions, professional associations, or lobbying legislators Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/
