Short excerpt from a talk by Hallie Bulkin emphasizing that therapists are lifelong learners and that understanding one's therapeutic actions and explaining them to families builds confidence and buy-in, which accelerates therapy and calms participants' nervous systems.
Listen, at the end of the day, we do like, I don't know everything. You're never going to know everything. We are all lifelong learners, right? But to even get a glimpse of confidence as a therapist, we have got to understand what we're doing and have the ability to explain it to somebody else because then we get their buy in. They help support the therapy. Therapy moves faster. Families. Everyone's nervous system is in check. Everyone can take a deep breath. Breath, breath. Listen, there goes. There goes my list for my appliance. Everyone can take a deep breath and we all feel, we all feel good, right? We feel like we're moving in the right direction.
