Customer Reviews
Informative for a new comer
I am thinking about going to school to become an SLP and thought I’d start learning more about the field so I searched for speech theory podcasts and found this one. I listens to the first episode and I’m glad it did. I enjoyed it very much. I have been working on my self growth for years and find the tips for being empathetic and keeping space for my emotions and letting others expertas theirs helpful, I have to build my bubble. I too enjoy ready YA books, walking for self care as well as getting massages which are more for my neck and back strain than relaxing but that is still self care. I look forward to listening to more episodes. Thanks for doing this podcast.
Tuning into more 🫶🏼
I just graduated Graduate school literally 2 weeks ago. The fear of starting my CF and being on my own has overwhelmed me with self doubt, anxiety, and overthinking tendencies. Coming across this podcast came in the PERFECT timing. I truly needed this. THANK YOU!
Informative and encouraging!
Highly enjoy this podcast! Love the practical examples of actual clients with practical advice. Also great information about taking care of ourselves as therapists, which is so often forgotten. Definitely recommend for all SLPs!
