What does it actually take to be a good therapist… and is it what people think?
In this episode of No Permission Necessary, Jill and Molly sit down with Liz Modugno to unpack the realities of clinical work and the therapy industry, from early career challenges to running a group practice.
Liz shares her experience growing in the field, navigating imposter syndrome, and developing the skills that go far beyond what’s taught in graduate programs.
This conversation explores:
• Why empathy alone is not enough in therapy
• The difference between education and real clinical experience
• Common misconceptions about trauma
• How social media and self-diagnosis are impacting mental health
• What it’s actually like to run a therapy practice
• The challenges of balancing clinical work with business ownership
They also discuss the importance of doing your own internal work as a clinician and why real growth in this field requires more than just good intentions.
This episode offers an honest, behind-the-scenes look at the therapy profession and what it really takes to do it well.
