I have been listening to the podcast for several months to older episodes along with new releases in preparation for my... master’s degree in school counseling. I received a huge compliment today in class that my analysis and response to a fictional client sounded like that of an experienced counselor. I owe most of that honor to the podcast hosts, Rory and Ken, who have engrained a great deal of understanding of counseling theories and practices in my mind. I also would like to thank the members of the Facebook group of the same name as the podcast for posting questions of ethics and resources that are often answered in the podcast as well as in the comments.read more
