Ep 218: Questions to ask a Potential Therapist

The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}

Have you ever wondered what types of questions you should ask a new therapist to assess how well they understand behaviors through the lens of the nervous system?

No need to take notes during this episode, I created downloadable handouts you can access with just one click. Listen to the episode then head over to my website!

PLEASE NOTE. These are suggestions. Please vet your professionals thoroughly. I’m certain there are many important questions left off of this list. I’m also certain there are many excellent trainings that I did not include in the list of potential trainings. Also, even if a therapist meets all the criteria, that doesn’t mean they are the right therapist for your family. Even someone trained with me isn’t necessarily the therapist or professional that is right for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• Questions you can ask a therapist to get a feel for how well they conceptualize behaviors through the lens of the nervous system
• Red flags to pay attention to
• Trainings on a therapist’s resume that suggest they conceptualize behavior through the lens of ‘all behavior makes sense.’
