This week’s episode is all about Interpersonal Violence also known as IPV. My guest, Kelly Lynch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, shares statistics on IPV, the emotional and physical impacts related to IPV, understanding our therapeutic role as a therapist when working with someone who has experienced IPV and she shares why psychoeducation on IPV is really important, for the therapist as well as the client.

I want to tell you about a group I created on Facebook, it’s called the Talk therapist lounge and it’s a place where talk therapists can find podcast guest opportunities! That’s right! If you are a licensed talk therapist and you are looking to grow your reach and visibility, this group may be a place for you to start.

I’m working to bring in podcast hosts who are looking to interview licensed clinicians that can share their expertise and knowledge with their audiences. 

Why should you be a podcast guest? Well people are crawling all over the internet, listening to podcasts and watching videos on mental health issues. My mission is to help spread the word about mental health treatment and help lower the stigma around mental health and to do that we need to get you guys out there sharing your knowledge and wisdom and how you help people live their best lives. And it will help you grow your brand and visibility and possibly help you gain new clients!

I also share how to create a podcast guest one sheet and tips and ideas for getting yourself booked on shows. So will you come join us? Look for the talk therapist lounge on facebook! Hope to see you there!
