The intensity in SLP spaces right now isn’t a sign of collapse. It’s the friction of a profession that has grown faster than the structures built to support it. In this episode, we slow the noise down to examine what’s actually underneath the debates, through data, psychology, and the real set of options the field keeps circling.
We explore:
- The preparation gap: What the 2020 Ad Hoc report acknowledges about the limits of our current training model.
- Displaced aggression: Why frustration so often turns inward when systems feel unreachable.
- The doctorate conversation: How the push for an SLPD reflects a hunger for depth, not just status.
- The domino effect: What changes like abolishing the CCC, unionizing, or rethinking undergraduate training would actually set in motion.
