The clock-watching therapist
Being a psychotherapist is the best job in the world – in my humble opinion. But even the best jobs have their drawbacks, one of which is that it can often kill the enjoyment of drama (TV, films, plays, and so on), because of the way psychotherapy and psychotherapists are portrayed.
Slow and steady wins the race. Or, how psychotherapy doesn’t have to wipe you out for days after a session
Sure, therapy is often about working through some deeply painful or overwhelming stuff, but it feels like a widely held belief (dare I say, myth) that to do therapy ‘right’ it needs to hurt – really hurt. I think that’s a belief that needs to be debunked because it’s potentially toxic.

I would love to hear from you.
