Welcome! Start Right Here.
HELLO CAREER CRAFTERS!
You are on the precipice – RIGHT NOW! I mean really – here you are – investing in yourself 🔥 and your career! You mean business.
I am Dr. MJ Rose, and I have known significant frustration with my profession - specifically from a sense that we (clinicians) do not have the right to be human! We SHOULD care thoughtfully for clients, but that does not mean ignoring our own needs or worse bracketing our values - a term I have heard used many times by professional organization administrators. How can a professional that values holistic wellness ask clinicians to set aside who they are when in the room with clients?
I fear that as a counselor educator, I have conveyed that message to too many students and young professionals. One day I had enough, and I committed to finding a different way to help clinicians practice ethically, but practice as who they are - without apology. This course represents years of consideration as to how to be a whole person in the room with clients without imposing our values onto them.
At The Counselor Edge, LLC we believe in PASSION! We get into this profession because we want to help, right? RIGHT? So, we dove in to our passions headfirst and practiced engaging our passions while working as educators, clinicians, and supervisors.
To do this I had to remind myself of my passion - what sparks my desire to care for others. Then I had to assess my values and whether they matched my passions. That reflection and the activities I engaged to re-design my career were life-changing - and definitely career changing. I actually left my role as the director of a clinical mental health counseling program so I could teach passion - not just profession.
I hope that through the process of this course, you find your passion. I hope that passion reignites a flame in you to be fully who you are so and helps you re-design a professional brand that forever keeps you healthy and joyful!
