Guest Bio: After obtaining two graduate degrees in clinical psychology – a Master’s degree from Central Michigan University, and a Doctorate of Psychology from the Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology – I became licensed as a clinical psychologist in the Commonwealth of Virginia. For many years I was also an Assistant Adjunct Professor for the College of William and Mary and Old Dominion University, teaching classes of doctoral students in the Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology. I have specialized in adult psychotherapy and personal growth counseling, as well as doing years of intensive personality and intellectual testing. In-depth psychodynamic training helped me understand people’s problems from a developmental perspective, leading to my livelong fascination with the striking differences between adults in their levels of psychological maturity. www.lindsaygibsonpsyd.com In this Episode: Discussion of Lindsay's latest book, "Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People" Managing time between writing, promoting books, and seeing clients Lindsay's career journey and writing process Advice for aspiring therapists, psychologists, and authors Insights and advice for therapists and individuals looking to develop their careers Importance of recognizing potential to offer solutions to others' problems Advice for therapists to pay attention
