HOW TO BE A GOOD LISTENER || Therapist's best active listening *SECRETS*

Great advice here, I use these methods in crisis hotline work!

I was wondering if you can talk about what some of the classes are like for CMHC. My friend just started his Master’s in social work and in his first two weeks had over 19 reading assignments. Please reassure me it’s physically possible to get through this, I start in the Spring. 😅

Thank you for this Allyssa! I am currently about to apply to a Counseling program and your questions are opening up avenues for me to reflect on my personal experiences with these things so that I can write a great personal statement!

Have you thought of making a “mock therapy session” type of video to help show how some of these techniques and just therapy in general looks? I know sometimes it can be helpful to see more concrete examples of what some of these concepts look like and sometimes classes don’t bluntly show what it looks like in the real world!

I wish i found this video a long time ago. But i can watch this one over and over. Lol
