About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain. Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your personal experiences with this topic? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen firsthand how CBT can significantly improve the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic pain. It's a rewarding, yet challenging field. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends related to this Graduate Certificate course? GUEST: Certainly.
