The Story Behind the Episode

How do you become a successful therapist while managing the intensity of treating Complex PTSD? It requires mastering both clinical “hard skills” and the “soft skills” of personal sustainability.

Dr. Schwartz pulls back the curtain on her evolution from a “green” clinician to a world-renowned authority and author of eight books. She shares the specific clinical insights and business strategies she used to build her reputation and a thriving private practice.
