Listen "Should Your Therapist Be in Therapy? (Spoiler: Yes.)"
Episode Synopsis
Let’s be honest—if your therapist hasn’t been to therapy, that’s a red flag the size of a weighted blanket. In this episode, Hannah talks with Erin Kelly, LCSW, who’s done actual research on why therapists need to do their own inner work (and what can go sideways if they don’t).
They get into the nitty gritty of what happens when unprocessed junk seeps into the therapy room, why “just breathing through it” isn’t enough, and how you can tell if your therapist is walking the walk—or just handing out mindfulness worksheets like candy.
This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Umm… who’s your therapist?”
