Our host, Laurie Poole, LPC discusses common myths and misconceptions about going to therapy and being a therapist with co-host, Cory Montfort, LPC-S on this inaugural episode of Therapist Unplugged. Each episode will feature the unplugged views of guests and fellow therapists as we navigate hot topics, therapy trends and the world around us.
We’ve got a big lineup of hot topics and all kinds of things for future episodes, but this will be a fun opportunity for listeners to get to know us a little bit. So in talking about therapy and therapists, we believe it’s a huge myth that therapists lead these perfect lives, that we have all the answers, that we sit in our chair from this place of leading a perfect life, maybe judging our clients? Nothing could be farther from the truth.
"Even now, at this stage of my life, I've gone back to therapy. I've had incredible aha moments, about patterns in my own life. Things like feeling as though I can't show distress. You know, here I am sitting in a room every single day with people who can be highly distressed, and I'm comfortable with it. It doesn't make me anxious or any of that. I can sit very comfortably with people in distress and be fully present with them. But it's hard for me to reveal my own distress."
