And I I think it's worth pointing out mostly because as therapists, it's really important to take the lived experience into consideration when we're putting our counseling hat on. podcast-host

Right. podcast-host

And and I think I'm reflecting on myself as a younger therapist. podcast-host

It's so easy to be like, well, just don't do that or do your homework or just go go take this and do it without consideration of what that family system feels like for the parent. podcast-host

Well, we've been talking a lot about this the skills and the counseling dynamic.

I wonder if you could tell us a little bit more about the process of setting the goals themselves, right?

Obviously a lot of that comes from your intake and going through those different category areas.

But once you've done that with a client.

What does that process look like in terms of collaborating together to come up with goals that are going to be meaningful for them and impactful for them?

You just touched on a question I was gonna ask, which is around group cohesion. podcast-host

In my I'm like thinking back to my outpatient days more than fifteen years ago at this point and thinking about the challenge of podcast-host

creating groups that are a good that are a good fit where there is good I use I already use the word cohesion but there's a good vibe in the group right everybody's getting something out of it what strategies do you use to facilitate cohesion is it is it selection or you know uh intentional people choosing people intentionally for a group how do you go about navigating that podcast-host

Do you also tend to select groups based on sort of we talked a little bit earlier, you were talking about the different environments that people are in?

So do you have different groupings based on like students who might be in their early 20s but are still attending school versus people who are attending their high school versus students who are in their twenties and are attending college or working at a job site?

Uh, do you try and pick like like environments?

That makes a lot of sense.

I wonder if you can tell us a little bit about how the skills that you target for in conjunction with your clients might look a little different depending on those different groups.

And so thinking about the difference between those clients who might be, you know, still attending, they might be in their early twenties or late teens, they're still as attending their public school.

uh versus those who are attending, you know, uh going getting ready to go off to college or working at a job.

I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit more and give us an example of how, you know, we might work on skills like self-advocacy or perspective taking and how that might look different across the different groups that you're running.
