5 Reasons Therapists Don’t Assess for Substance Use & 5 Reasons They Should

Many therapists shy away from asking about substance use.  There are some very common and very valid reasons for this. Today, I want to share the top 5 most common reasons I’ve heard for avoiding talking about substance use. Then I want to share my top 5 reasons why I really believe we all should be assessing for substance use. If you resonate with any of the reasons why folks don’t assess, you are not alone! My hope is that you will end the podcast feeling encouraged to give screening a try. I’m going to be showing you some great assessment questions in our live event Braving the Course on Monday September 18th at 6pmCST.
