Basic Therapy

Welcome to the first installment of the Bad Therapy series.  We need to first understand some basics of what therapy is and how it works.  Clients are walking into sessions with a combination of hope and desperation - this is easily taken advantage of by a "therapist" that isn't up to snuff.  We want you to be able to enter your sessions with some clarity on what YOU want out of your time/money as well as some clarity on what is SUPPOSED to be happening.   JOIN THE TRAUMA NERDS Forum - http://www.justinlmft.com/forum LICENSING BOARD RESOURCES: https://www.aamft.org/Directories/MFT_Licensing_Boards.aspx  THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE AS a PREDICTOR of SUCCESS: http://cleostudies.lecture.ub.ac.id/files/2015/03/Goldfried-2014-What-to-expect-from-psychotherapy.pdf https://societyforpsychotherapy.org/evidence-based-therapy-relationships/ https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2002-01390-002 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28936692 https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2016-30467-001 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/figure/10.1080/10503307.2010.518635?scroll=top&needAccess=true\ JUSTIN Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/justinlmft/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/justinlmft Website - http://www.justinlmft.com Email - [email protected] MERCEDES Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mercedeslmft/ Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/mercedeslmft Email - [email protected] Music & Sounds by Benjo Beats - https://soundcloud.com/benjobeats --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/polyvagalpodcast/message
