If you've listened to the recovery stories on the podcast, you've heard people talk about having been to therapy. One of the things I usually ask them is if their therapist knew about their substance use. For the most part, the therapists didn't. I don't blame the therapists for that. The therapist likely was doing what we all do, trying to stay on the topic the person presented, trying to help them with the current problem. The problem, though, was impacted by their substance use.
Therapists often navigate tough conversations, but there's one topic that might be slipping through the cracks – substance use. In this episode of 'All Things Substance', Betsy Byler dives into why discussing substance use with clients is essential for effective therapy. With her extensive background as a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor, and substance abuse counselor, Betsy shares her own experiences and practical tips to help fellow therapists tackle this often-overlooked issue.
She emphasizes how substance use can significantly impact therapy outcomes and offers strategies to integrate this conversation into regular practice. Plus, Betsy provides access to a free webinar on screening skills for substance use, packed with resources to boost your confidence and competence. Whether you're a seasoned therapist or just starting out, this episode is a goldmine of insights to enhance your therapeutic approach.
