Learning from other counselors is a key component of internalizing the way of healing our profession has established. This makes us unique compared to LMFT's, LCSW's, and psychologists. This identity is based in a wellness model (anti-medical model), an emphasis on development and prevention, client empowerment, and advocacy. We should protect the process that advances our professional identity, rather than diluting our training. We do collaborate with other professionals, but our training should be based in who we are.
