20. A clinical training crisis w/ Dr. Ahmad
The longer you practice as a therapist does not correlate with improved outcomes. Time is not enough.
To improve, you need to work at it. This is true in sports, music and yes, as a clinician working in mental health.
In part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Ahmad, he touches on common struggles he experienced early in his clinical rotations and how clinical training needs to evolve towards deliberate practice.
