Why Experienced Counsellors Forget How Much They Know

Have you ever had that experience where you attend a training course, read a book or listen to a podcast and realise you already know most of it?
That's what sparked this week's episode.
It's easy to assume that if something feels obvious to us, it must be obvious to everyone else too. But what if that's not true? What if some of the things you've stopped noticing are actually some of the most valuable things you know?
In this episode, I'm exploring why experienced counsellors often underestimate their own knowledge, how familiarity can disguise expertise, and why the insights that feel most ordinary to you may be exactly what somebody else needs to hear.
In this episode we talk about:- Why expertise rarely arrives with a fanfare
- The marketing training that made me realise how much I'd learned
- The lightbulb moments that stayed with me from TA training
- Why clients often remember things that counsellors take for granted
- How familiarity can hide the value of what you know
- A question I'd love you to spend some time thinking about
