Site with lots of articles for therapists

nannabeenannabeeMember
I found this site called "Psychotherapy Networker" with lots of continuing education webinars and articles for therapists. I am kind-of obsessed with how therapists actually do their jobs, and this site is a treasure-trove of information.

There is a magazine with articles that you can read for free. Each issue focuses on a single topic, and I found them really intriguing. I just spent over an hour reading the entire Trauma Issue.

One of the articles in this issue (The Trauma Myth, triggers for CSA) was helpful to me as it helped me see that I wasn't a horrible person for not fighting back or saying no as a child. However, there is a paragraph towards the end of the article that seems to imply somewhat that the abuse was the child's fault. I believe that the sentence is badly written and isn't actually trying to say that the abuse was the child's fault, but please don't read the article if that sentence might trigger you.

Nannabee,

I think a lot of Ts become Ts because they are curious how Ts work and how therapy, themselves, and others work, too.

I try to avoid reading a lot of articles on therapy, it makes me less willing to 'go with the flow' and I start demanding process flows, or trying to stuff my T and my experience with her in a box. I know a LOT of people DO NOT feel this way when they read articles so I'm not condemning I'm just talking about me Smiler I did take a peak at the article you posted.

I liked the article you posted a lot, thank you for sharing!

Thanks, Cat. That article especially talked about something I haven't really heard before, and it actually helped me understand some of my shame.

I totally get how reading lots of articles on therapy can affect your own therapy negatively. For me at least, it is a delicate balancing act between satisfying my curiosity and reading too much and comparing my T to all the other T's I read about and worrying about my T's competency. (I'm getting better at believing that he knows what he is doing, but sometimes I still worry.)

((((CTL))))- You aren't causing trouble at all and there is no need to apologize. That paragraph gave me bad feelings as well, but I had forgotten about it when I posted before. I do still feel like the article can be helpful, but this way no one is going into it blind.

D-Fly- my social anxiety makes it hard for me to post sometimes, but it is nice to be remembered, and your friendliness makes me smile. I'll have to check out that book that BG posted about- I'm always looking for more stuff to read Embarrassed

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
