Episode Details

In this episode, I spoke with my good friend Shaelene Kite, a counselor, DBT-trained therapist, and yoga instructor based in New Jersey. We dove deep into the topic of creating a membership site as an alternative income stream for therapists.

Shaelene shared valuable insights from her experience founding the Rebel Minds Learning Collective, a DBT training membership site aimed at providing community, affordable training, and evolving the modality.

Here are three key takeaways:

1. Support & Community are Essential: Training alone isn't enough. Therapists need continuous support and community to avoid feelings of isolation and imposter syndrome. A membership site can offer consistent, accessible guidance.
2. Making Training Accessible: The high costs associated with advanced training limit accessibility to continued learning, but creating an affordable membership option offers access to high-quality DBT training and ongoing education, ensuring therapists can pursue further learning without breaking the bank.
3. Evolving Practices: It's crucial for therapeutic modalities to evolve with the times. Shaelene highlighted the importance of adapting DBT to be more inclusive, anti-racist, and responsive to the needs of neurodivergent clients.
