3 Hidden Signs Your Therapist Is Taking Sides
About this episode
Ever felt ganged up on in therapy? We explore how bias “leaks,” how to ask for fairness, and three tools you can also use when giving relationship advice to a friend - so you support without picking sides. Learn to hold space (not control outcomes) and keep growth honest - even when it’s messy.
What you’ll learn:
How “leaking bias” erodes trust - and how to name it constructively.
The difference between helping and imposing (holding space vs. fixing).
3 neutrality tools you can use with friends.
Why therapy is messy (and human), not math and how to keep growth on track.
