320 - Practicing Therapy in a World on Fire
Why therapists must do their own work: leadership, integrity, and the future of therapy with Sarah Buino and Lane Essex. We made it! To the middle of 2026. I realize that's a bit of a good-news/bad-news scenario given the current political climate. Still, the fact that we're all here is something worthy of celebration. Or, at the very least, reflection.
Where do we, as therapists, want to grow next? How do we get there?
I literally cannot fathom any other solution for how we evolve the profession, get better at running businesses, or treat each other and our clients than by working on ourselves.
So let's talk about:
The future of therapy and therapist leadership
Why self-work is foundational to ethical practice
Group practice ownership and accountability
The challenges of building a consulting business
Integrity as a professional competency
Community, belonging, and the role of thought leadership in uncertain times
Cheers to more growth in the second half.
