Introducing The Kiln: Revolutionizing The Therapy Training Landscape
Co-conspirator and friend of the podcast, Dr. K Hixson, returns to share some exciting news about a true labor of love.
We’ve joined up to create The Kiln, a comprehensive supervision and training program for pre-licensed therapists in Oregon. The Kiln will also offer continuing education to practicing clinicians.
This venture was born out of our mutual frustrations and concerns with the direction, trends, and tendencies in the current state of our field, and our deep dedication and commitment to our work.
Today, we’re going to get into why we are bringing an apprenticeship lens to postgraduate supervision, pushing back on current paradigms in trauma treatment, and how you can join our trainings or become part of our very first cohort.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
Why many grad schools and supervision programs fail to train great therapists
The two fundamental philosophies that define our approach with The Kiln
Why we teach exposure-based trauma therapies and push back on anti-exposure bias
Why therapists need to be able and willing to confront themselves
Trauma processing modalities that we are excited about working with and teaching
