In this unfiltered episode, we confront a taboo topic within the therapy community: the alarming trend of seasoned therapists and LPC supervisors refusing to support new therapists or associates out of fear for their own bottom line. We peel back the layers of this selfish mindset, exposing the toxic underbelly of competition and scarcity mentality that pervades the field. Through raw anecdotes and expert analysis, we shed light on the damaging effects of this behavior, from stunting professional growth to perpetuating a culture of isolation and distrust. Join us as we challenge the status quo, demand accountability, and champion a culture of collaboration and abundance in the therapy world. It's time to shatter the illusion of scarcity and build a community where support and success go hand in hand.
