One Hundred

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy

Curt and Katie reflect on 100 podcast episodes, what the experience has been like, and where we want to take the podcast next.

It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

In this episode we talk about:

• How much we appreciate listener connection and feedback
• Self-reflection on the previous 99 episodes
• A new hashtag: #teamcurtie
• Our switch from 2 episodes per week to 1 episode per week
• How podcasting has improved our speaking and thought processes
• The impact of hearing from listeners of the podcast at the conference
• How we recorded and put out the Therapist Safety episodes
• Our goal to catalyze the diverse voices in our community to stand up
• How we have made mistakes publicly in order to have healing conversations publicly
• The level of disclosure we have on the podcast
• The surprise that our moms aren’t the only people listening every week
• The way we talk about our profession in order to improve it
• How we are going to grow and change the podcast
• What are #moderntherapist conversations (and what are not)
• Guiding principles of what we’re talking about
• How we are different from other groups, other podcasts
• The origin of the podcast as a marketing plan for a conference, and then it evolved into its own thing

A Quick Note:

Our opinions are our own. We are only speaking for ourselves – except when we speak for each other, or over each other. We’re working on it.

Our guests are also only speaking for themselves and have their own opinions. We aren’t trying to take their voice, and no one speaks for us either. Mostly because they don’t want to, but hey.
