#5. When Performing Impedes Learning

Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development Podcast by Daryl Chow, Ph.D.

"I spent half of my life lost in an education system that pushed for results and performance... and failed.. Even when I Began to perform well in undergrad and so on, I wasn't learning; I was performing."

In today's episode, we draw a distinction between "performing" and "learning," and what we can do to become deep learners.
