In this candid DVD a group of new therapists reveal the challenges they faced during
their first year of seeing clients.

"This is an engaging, professionally-done video, giving practical and experience-near advice for beginning therapists-in-training. It demystifies the ordinary fears, exhilarations, and challenges as one begins to practice psychotherapy in trainee and internship settings. It is most appropriate for students in graduate programs in clinical and counseling psychology, and includes a helpful Instructor’s Manual to orient classroom discussion."
Kenneth Bradford, PhD - Adjunct Professor, Graduate School for Holistic Studies, John F. Kennedy University

"The students interviewed in this engaging video candidly voice some of the key concerns of novice clinicians and share some of the ways they have effectively addressed them. It is guaranteed to stimulate student discussion and authentic exploration of the fears, crises of confidence, and challenges associated with first clinical experiences. In short, an inspiring video that is an excellent resource for students and faculty supervisors."
J. Fraser Pierson, PhD - Professor of Psychology Southern Oregon University

"This training video is useful in so many ways. The trainees are both articulate and down-to-earth, and are able to normalize the anxiety of beginning to see clients from a variety of perspectives. Even more essential, the students model self-reflectiveness and an appropriate level of self-disclosure. Supervisors of beginning students are sure to appreciate both the content of this video, and the process of healthy and compassionate self-examination that it promotes. Unlike many training videos, I liked the length, the quality, and the educational value of this video. We will use the video with all of our beginning students."
Shelly Smith-Acuna, PhD - Director of PsyD Program, Graduate School of Professional Psychology, University of Denver

"My interns and trainees enjoyed the video and could really identify with the budding therapists. What I liked as the facilitator was that it really helped the group begin a good discussion of their biggest fears and concerns. It seemed to put them at ease to not only know that others felt every bit as nervous and scared as they do; I believe it normalized their anxiety as an appropriate phase in this developmental process of becoming a therapist. We used the role plays included in the booklet accompanying the DVD, and several of the discussion questions helped to guide our larger group discussion after the breakouts. I am sure we will continue to make good use of this video in future trainings."
