The Calling Part 2
Show Notes
Regardless of what we decide to consciously self-disclose, what parts of ourselves are sitting in the room when working with our clients? As therapists, we sit with another amazing human being, knowing that this practice and process is about them. Our professional training cautions us to discern what is appropriate to share of ourselves – so what do we do in session when our frightened 11-year-old child self has squished their way into our therapist seat? Clearly a symbiosis can exist in the work between us and our clients: we get our needs for validation met, we fulfill a desire to lift up another person in crisis and then we feel good about ourselves (ego alert!). And yes, as therapists we may even get to resolve issues in our own lives because of the process we enter into with our clients.
In Part 2 of The Calling, our Practice Imperfect team dives deeper to pursue how our relationships with our own pasts can positively impact the work for clients. When we can bravely embrace our own vulnerability and shame, we can lean more effectively into the vulnerability of another and facilitate their courage to show up and disclose their darkest secrets. We debate in this episode whether our own needs have a place in session. What if we as therapists accept the idea that part of this work is self-serving? Listen to find out how a taxi ride in Okinawa changed Ian’s life, what Monica’s name means in Latin, and how Bill went from reading architectural drawings to creating genograms.
