Insights to improve your therapy practice
I’m a neurodivergent psychologist whose work has been featured in numerous grad programs’ coursework and at post-graduate training facilities. I write therapist advice that is sober, candid, and gritty. I dislike how abstract and naive therapist education is, so I wrote the concise, no-bullshit guide that I (and my different brain) needed all those years ago.
The new therapist’s survival guide.
Brimming with practical, honest advice, the information shared here reflects the combined experience of hundreds of therapists from their first 3 to 5 years of practice. If you’re a new therapist, counsellor, psychologist, social worker, or whatever you call it—this is for you.
Some people think it’s great, some don’t. You decide.
