Therapeutic Presence

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2432070/fan_mail/new] Kelly Kilgallon (LCSW) and Jon Butz (LCPC) dive deep into “Therapeutic Presence: Therapists’ experience of presence in the psychotherapy encounter,” an article by Shari M. Gellar & Leslie S. Greenberg. What does it mean for a therapist to be TRULY PRESENT during a session? Should they “bracket” their personal lives and inner worlds during a session? Juggling one’s own subjective experience with the incredibly demanding clinical work of psychotherapy can be quite the tightrope to walk..so walk it with us. - music by blanket forts -

OPPOSITE TO EMOTION ACTION

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2432070/fan_mail/new] What if we told you that 96 % of your emotional impulses are counter to your values...would you be surprised? Better yet, what if we challenged you to act "in opposite" to your impulses? Maybe this sounds crazy, but studies show that it could change your life. (Let's just be a little loose with the definition of "opposite" 😉) - music by blanket forts -

THE INNER CRITIC

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2432070/fan_mail/new] Criticism can be hard to hear...but what about the criticism coming from inside our own brains? We all have our own unique form of "inner critic." And while a hateful internal monologue can be a tough beast to tame, perhaps the first step is understanding why it exists. Maybe it wants to help us more than we think. - music by blanket forts -
