On this week's episode, we welcome Erica Zaldivar, LMFT to join me in discussing when therapists cause harm. I posted a few weeks back in my Instagram stories asking you to share bad experiences with therapists and it received a ton of feedback. It was shocking to say the least. Erica and I wanted to do an episode on this topic to help others identify what is appropriate and what is not appropriate in a therapy setting and to provide validation and support to those who have unfortunately had these experiences. We hope you feel empowered by this episode.
On this episode, you will hear:
- Identifying red flags in therapy
- The importance of validation in therapy
- Understanding self-disclosure in therapy
- Navigating personal experiences as therapists
- The role of social media in therapy
- Navigating boundaries in therapy
- Recognizing harmful therapist behaviors
- The importance of communication in therapy
- Finding the right therapist
- Empowerment in therapy choices
