Description

Therapists often experience feelings of responsibility and grief when a former client is involved in a tragic event. Join us this week as returning guest Leah shares a story about a former client who was involved in a fatal car accident. Leah emphasizes the importance of creating supportive connections and finding spaces to process these difficult emotions. She also highlights the need for more open conversations about therapist grief and the unique ethical considerations that therapists face in these situations.

Join us each week for stories from behind the closed therapy door. You’ll hear relatable experiences from other therapists, including bloopers, highlight reels, and other ridiculous moments that you thought you were the only one experiencing. Each episode contains 50% inspiration, 50% storytelling, and 100% real humans and their journey in the mental health field. With burnout running rampant, the last thing you need is another podcast that adds to your to-do list, so drop the notebook. This is a space with no experts, gurus, or hierarchies- just humans sitting in similar chairs. We’re not the gatekeepers for good and bad therapy but we are here to shine a light on the difficult decisions therapists face on a daily basis - and normalize the mysterious gray area of clinical practice that no one wants to talk about. New and seasoned therapists, graduate students, agency employees, private practice owners, and entrepreneurs - this one is for you.
