How Marriage and Family Therapists are Different From Other Psychology Health Professionals

Image
  A marriage and family therapist, also known as MFT, has a unique set of skills that sets them apart from other psychological health professionals. We often overlook or appear on the “or similar training” list in the job description after the word “LCSW, LCPC prefers”. Interestingly, MFT training is very clinical compared to other professional programs: an accredited master’s program requires a minimum of 500 personal hours of clients, half of which are a couple and family hours. This means that while MFTs work with individuals, couples, and families, they also have extensive training to work and think about the issues in the relationships. In the end, we are shaped by where we have come from and that says a lot about what we do in other relationships. It is important to understand that MFTs look at people and problems in this broader context, allowing for the emergence of strengths and comprehensive treatment to empower clients. MFT training is specialized and different from othe...

Optimize the Flow of Your Voice Therapy Patients: Flow Phonation

Image
  Do your patients “sigh” a lot? Are breath-holders a big part of your voice therapy schedule? They’re a big part of mine! Voice therapy techniques and programs focused on airflow management are evidence-based ways to facilitate optimized speech breathing while reducing muscle tension, and all that is required is tissue or your finger to see and feel the flow of air, something we all have around us. What is flow phonation? Flow Phonation, in particular, is a hierarchical therapy concept that aims to facilitate increased airflow, ease of phonation, and direct oral resonance. It was modified from Ed Stone's Stretch and Flow Phonation by removing the "stretch" component, which slowed speech in the original program for those patients who were hoarse. Flow Phonation can be used with both symphonic and aphonic patients. Ultimately, therapy aims for clear speech while focusing on airflow and the balance between airflow and voice production. What Are the Hierarchical Levels of Fl...

Choosing An Online Trauma Therapist

Image
  What makes an online trauma therapist good is their ability to adhere to ethical considerations in the same way as face-to-face therapy. These considerations include confidentiality, privacy, and knowing when it is unsafe to work with trauma patients online. Who looks for trauma therapy online? People who need trauma therapy online are diverse and have different reasons for choosing this option. Sometimes online therapy can be the first step to recovery for people suffering from agoraphobia (fear of being in places you cannot escape) that could develop after a traumatic event. Therefore, online therapy can be the first step to obtaining assistance for people who cannot leave the home, including challenges or fears of using public transportation. Also, during 2020, people were forced to stay indoors, and those who tested positive for Covid-19 had to isolate themselves. This increased the need for online therapy. Also, people who do not feel comfortable going out due to trauma, fe...
