Using deliberate practice to improve your therapy skills and confidence (with Aaron Frost)

Bron and Dr Aaron Frost discuss the importance of deliberate practice in the development of psychologists. They highlight that psychologists can reliably improve their skills by collecting client data and working on the areas that are difficult (like client retention), instead of learning therapy after therapy. We talk about 👉 What role plays should look like 👉🏼 Why step-by-step improvement is the goal to therapist skill development 👉🏾 How to find a deliberate practice supervisor.
