BTN is changing (again)
Often when I am interviewed about what I believe in as a psychologist, I come back to the same answer. To help my community.
I first found my way into mental health and that’s where I wanted to help my community. Fast forward to 2021, I want to help my community in a different way.
I am not the therapist, nor healer anymore.
I am the coach. The connector.
I am the torch bearer, I don’t know where we are going. But I can keep a light above us. So that we keep going. One step at a time.
Isn’t that what a therapist does?
Yes, I guess it is. However I am not offering my support in the same way, in the same intimate setting of a therapy room, over a number of sessions.
Completing a course in coaching has reminded me that we all have the possibility to be more. I believe in positive psychology and a strengths based approach.
So what does this new way of working look like in practice?
At BTN we are testing out some ideas.
We are encouraging collective learning, in the form of group peer supervision. In 2021, these sessions were successful. You wanted them back so we have done just that. Book here.
We believe in the power of voices. Therefore we are inviting you to tell us your story on the Brownology podcast. Why? Because you are the best storyteller of your passion. Email us at hello@browntherapistnetwork.com if you are interested.
We are also changing the way we connect with individuals and organisations that want to hire you. We want to make our BTN directory FREE so that everyone can see you. And we want to help you get hired for non-clinical work (if that’s what you are interested in). We often get organisations asking for training or some input into a magazine article. We want to share those opportunities with you. In the background we will be continuing to be making connections with organisations to show off your super talents.
So if this sounds like something you would be up for, email us hello@browntherapistnetwork.com to register your interest.
For those that currently are paying for the practice growth membership, we will cancel your subscription in October 2022.
Please let us know if you want to be added on to the FREE directory.
Knowledge seekers - our aim is to make all the content in membership areas free by the end of the year (bonus!).
I can’t wait to see what we create. together.
