Special Guest: Ryan Rogers The collegiate environment for developing the next generation of competent mental health counselors is a cesspool of woke-mind ideology. Political agendas have replaced science and the profession is in big trouble, turning out social justice political activists who pursue mental health with Marxist tools.

Special Guest: Rick McCarthy LMFT Lowering the bar to entry into this profession simultaneously lowers the level of overall level of competency under the guise of "removing barriers to entry", and that is not the answer to a perceived workforce shortage or any other problem.

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S CEAP CIMHP We review the recent LPC Board meeting but the deep dive is on the real world roadblocks that our newly graduated, soon-to-be associates are facing. Most of it's not their fault (some of it is), but neither are their Supervisors to blame. We need to stop trying to affix blame for world-level problems on one group of people and figure out a better...

Special Guest: Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, DO The Covid Event ushered in at least a 20 year period of hopeful recovery which will likely be accompanied by unfathomable volumes of permanent injury, disability, and death.
