The Wounded Healer

In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) Michelle Iversen and Brett Cushing talk about their lives and what led them to become the therapists they are today. They talk about Carl Jung's concept of "The Wounded Healer", and what it means to have a therapist who also gets their own therapy due to encountering and overcoming their own experiences with mental health and family dynamics.

Listen to learn more about Michelle and Brett's stories, how they navigate issues around countertransference in therapy, and how their journey with healing and self-awareness helps to increase their empathy and curiosity with those they work with daily.
