When you’re in a therapy session and something happens right in the moment,  a shift in body language, a sudden silence, a flicker of emotion,  naming it can change everything.In this episode of Inside Social Work, I’m joined by Dr Bronwyn Milkins from the Mental Work Podcast to talk about using ‘here and now’ comments to deepen connection and insight in the room. We explore why they work, when to use them, and how to navigate the risks.We discuss:What ‘here and now’ comments are and why they matterHow they can build safety and trust in therapyPractical ways to notice and name what’s happeningThe difference between curiosity and confrontationHow to handle moments when it lands badlyWhy slowing down is often the most powerful thing you can doWhether you’re new to therapy or an experienced practitioner, this conversation offers practical tools to bring more presence, attunement, and awareness into your work.Contact Dr Bronwyn Milkins @ [email protected]:Inside Social Work Podcast on SpotifyInside Social Work Podcast on AppleMental Work PodcastGot something you'd like to hear on the podcast?🎙️ Got a question or something on your mind?
