Episode 2, Season 4: EBP Confessionals - We Messed Up and We Recovered From It
Guest: Drs. Ermold, Holloway & Lefkowitz
Clinicians new to EBPs and protocol-driven treatments understandably worry about what to do when something goes wrong. “What if I explain things wrong?” “What if my client gets worse?” Hiccups are the rule rather than the exception, especially when we’re new to a particular model or technique.
Carin, Jenna, and Kevin have had their EBP fears come to fruition and are ready to “confess” their past struggles. Even more importantly, the team discusses how they recovered from their hiccups and what they learned from them.
Note: We discuss potentially upsetting content, including suicide and violence toward children, in this episode. Please use discretion when listening.
