More from The Therapy Show
Steffi Cooke joins us to discuss symbiosis: what it is; how it develops; how it impacts the therapist; and how the therapist can manage it.
In this session, we discuss those elements of our workthat might characterise a Master Psychotherapist: experience, competence, potency, attunement and others.
We discuss how the client’s psychological process is revealed by how they communicate thoughts andf eelings through the ways they speak and present physically.
In that moment in therapy when the client says, ‘Aha!’, what is going on? Does it inevitably indicate change? Can we facilitate it? We will discuss these points although we don’t guarantee any lightbulb moments.
Empathy, kindness, compassion. What exactly is compassion and is its presence an essential part of the therapy process? How does it impact the client, the relationship and the therapist her or himself?
