In what ways can you relate to the information shared? The portion about "survival phase" resonanted with me. I think a lot of new therapists come from working with a very different population so you can feel unprepared for how many new therapy targets you now have. I had to remind myself that i couldn't have everything ready for every new thing I will encounter, and needed to become OK with it being a process that would always be changing and
In what ways do you think you can support a new teacher. I think it's important to be explicit about what you are talking about. I've found that every school and district uses different acronyms for the same thing, and when you start somewhere new you feel almost silly asking "what is that?" because you feel you should already know. Chances are, you do know, you just were trained to call it something else.
Where do your strengths lie? I have been very methodical in building supports and materials that progress through the hierarchies of varied treatment approaches and I think this will help a new therapist feel more prepared and ready to try a new approach.
