Ep. 10: Becoming who we are - Authenticity and the Therapeutic Encounter

In this episode the hosts engage in a lively dialogue about authenticity, instantiated both in the everyday life and in the therapeutic encounter, and reflect on the ways in which we can live more authentically and becoming more ourselves. As therapists, it is important to nurture our own authentic presence with our clients by being open to be moved by them and responding openly and immediately. Equally important is how we live outside the therapeutic context. It is critical to discover the myriad ways in which we can be ourselves outside our therapist’s role in order to become more authentic therapists.
