As clinicians we are trained to work with our clients, but often do not receive explicit training in counseling, self-care, or other components of the deep, emotional work that comes along with treating communication disorders. In this episode we had the great pleasure of welcoming Dr. David Luterman, professor Emeritus from Emerson College, who has committed his career to educating speech pathologists and audiologists, teaching us how to embrace the emotional realm, create empowering client relationships, and practice self care.

For us this conversation felt profound. It’s a topic that we have revisited throughout our careers and continues to evolve and change based on where we are in our lives and our ever changing professional experiences. We hope you walk away from this conversation with as much to think about and process as we did.

This episode is offered for 1 ASHA CMH (equal to .1 ASHA CEU). If you have questions about CEUs or how this works, please see our How It Works or ASHA Professional Development pages.

Identify and define at least two features of successful counseling
