Episode 2: Using Trained Professionals
Today’s Session is “Using Trained Professionals!” Whether you’re looking to grow in the profession, or are in need of professional help, seeking professional guidance is always a must. We’re discussing why people do and don’t seek professional treatment, as well as ways to become more trustworthy as a professional.
A note about the episode: We mentioned natural remedies in the beginning of the episode and wanted to recognize Holistic Practitioners. Their practices bring great value to modern medicine and remind us that prevention is key.
Also, we are aware that some Master's level Counseling programs require their students to seek professional treatment before completing the program. Our intent is not to overlook these programs rather it is to discuss the benefits of ALL programs making this a requirement.
