Using strategies of "framing," assigning "super answers" and "no way" answers, combined with the significant honing down of the study materials to focus on the pertinent details only, made passing the LCSW Clinical Vignette Exam very doable! Prior to using The Therapist Development Center, I had invested at least a thousand dollars with another group, only to be overwhelmed by the huge amount of material that I needed to study, comprehend and retain in order to pass the exam. I even drove a few hundred miles and sacrificed a weekend to attend a 2-day workshop. I put out much time, effort and cost only to fail by 2 questions! Today, taking that exam, initially I felt overwhelmed again and I began to secretly panic, but I remembered Amanda's many encouraging words. She has confidence in her program and, when I lacked it for myself, I put into action all that I had been studying and practicing for the past two weeks with The Therapist Development Center. I picked up the pace, moved forward, finished the exam, and had 35 minutes left to go back and check those first several shaky answers, make a few changes, then know with confidence that I passed this exam, before I ever saw that beautiful word, "PASS," on the screen at the end of the exam. Thank you TDC! I have a few friends, who, like me, tried other programs and failed once already. I can't wait to tell them about The Therapist Development Center.
