Episode Synopsis

Is there anything you believed about therapy when you started that you think differently about now? Why should you be careful not to overprepare for sessions and rather just focus on your client? How can showing humanness, not just neutrality, support client healing? In this episode of Therapist Behind the Change, I reflect on how my beliefs about therapy have evolved. I used to think healing had a clear timeline, but now I know it's not linear—it ebbs and flows as clients navigate their own unique journeys. I also used to overprepare for sessions, but I learned that the best sessions happen when I let the client lead and meet them where they are. I once believed I had to be completely neutral, but now I see that showing my humanness—while maintaining boundaries—can be incredibly healing. Clients don't need perfection; they need connection, and by sharing authentic moments, I can help them feel validated and not alone in their struggles. Ultimately, therapy is about presence, empathy, and authentic connection, not just techniques or plans. Thanks for listening, I'd love to connect with you over on Facebook.
