Listen "The Importance of Using Plain Speak as a Therapist"
Episode Synopsis
I got the itch to tackle “academese” today and advocate for more plain speak in our professional interactions. I share reasons why I’m advocating moving away from overly academic language in this episode and also offer some tools to help you shift your language to be more accessible to folks.
