This is the latest in a series of conversations, in this case with experienced therapist Susan McGrath who works particularly with the transpersonal/spiritual aspects and addictions and dependencies (mentioning the 12 Step Programme).
In this really interesting conversation we talk about a whole range of subjects including Susan’s ‘bugbears’ about the profession and her own ambivalence about it at times, but also what a great honour it is to be someone’s therapist.
Particular timestamps include:
2:02 - Susan’s turning point in life (journey becoming a therapist)
4:28 - Training to be a therapist 28 years ago
6:12 - Susan’s experience with therapy training
9:56 - Susan’s current practice, an overview
13:00 - Navigating the idea of ‘God’ and ‘Spirituality’ in therapy
17:19 - Comments around addiction (drinking, drugs, etc)
20:29 - Susan’s one ‘criticism’ about therapy
27:03 - Motivation for becoming a therapist
29:06 - If Susan stopped being a therapist tomorrow...
30:10 - What Susan & John Paul think of being therapists (how they like it)
35:13 - Working with ‘types’ of people
36:53 - Therapy “isn’t for everyone”
38:40 - Tips for someone coming into the profession (a discussion about pay levels in therapy)
46:55 - Susan’s future plans
48:19 - Final words, how to get in touch with Susan
