We discussed feminist counseling in my theories class tonight.
Students: “What does the personal is political mean?”
Me: “Well… if someone can run a presidential campaign on making your identities illegal, your identities have been politicized…”
Class: *collectively* 🤯 #CounselorEd #AcademicSky

It’s not “differently abled,” it’s not “special needs,” it’s not “handicapped,” or anything else, it’s disabled. Disabled is not a bad or dirty word. Disabled is accurate and there’s nothing wrong with being disabled.

Hearing that my Black girl-centered research is “just advocacy” and not “rigorous scholarship” is so disappointing.
I don’t believe that; and, that’s what the “premiere” journals in my field (#CounselorEd) are saying in all of my manuscript reviews.
It’s hard not to feel defeated. #AcademicSky

Tonight in Practicum, we made “big feelings jars”.
Each 🌈 slip of paper represents one of the #emotions that Riley experienced in Inside Out.
Students wrote coping strategies to process & respond to each big feeling that they’re likely to feel as new clinicians 💜 #AcademicSky #CounselorEd

I’m actually thinking about teaching an elective course about designing a private practice for students… I wish someone had discussed it with me before now #CounselorEd
No one in grad school taught you as a #therapist how to run a #business. But here you are, trying to figure it out while staring at your phone and willing it to ring.

I’m teaching Diversity in Counseling this semester, and we’ve been talking about executive orders and what they mean for our work as therapists.
Students directly asked my take and I was honest.

For those that include a group assignment in your courses, what are some of your favorite formats?
I'm curious if anyone does anything other than the "traditional" group presentation format.
EX: I've done a "TedTalk-esque" version in the past, but looking for other ideas! #AcademicSky #CounselorEd

Therapists! We’ve been discussing termination in class & I’m curious about your thoughts.
How much notice do you give to clients if you are leaving a practice?
I know it varies for a lot of reasons. What’s your take? #TherapistSky #CounselorEd
