Expectations on emerging therapists
Hello and welcome back thriving gang!
We hope you’re enjoying the episodes so far !
This episode we chat through the huge and often unrealistic expectations put on early career therapists by tertiary institutions, employers and clients.
We chat about:
- The student to expert slingshot effect
- Does tertiary education set us up for failure? (i.e. limited placements and then expectation to be expert)
- expectations from employers
- Expectations from clients both perceived and real
- Our own experiences of this
We can’t wait for you guys to listen to this episode, it’s really going to unpack and explore the often invisible pressures we feel.
If you loved this ep and have been loving the pod we would so appreciate a rating, review or share with a therapist friend to help support the show and get in more ears for those who need it!
