Ep 08 - What We Wish Therapists Knew About Scaling Up: Our Vision, Values, and Common Misconceptions
Curious about what really drives Scaling Up? In this episode of Scaling Up Your Impact, founder Kelly Smyth-Dent offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the heart and mission of Scaling Up. Whether you’re a longtime participant or just discovering us, you’ll learn what sets Scaling Up apart—and why accessibility, real-world practicality, and therapist support are at the core of everything we do.
Kelly addresses the most common misconceptions about Scaling Up, clarifying that we’re more than just EMDR Intensives, that our trainings are for clinicians across all settings (not just private practice), and that you don’t have to be an expert to benefit from our programs. Plus, hear how we’re committed to anti-oppression, cultural responsiveness, and creating inclusive, supportive learning spaces for all therapists.
Tune in to discover:
- The story and values behind Scaling Up’s approach to trauma training
- How we’re making EMDR and trauma care accessible and practical for all clinicians
