All we have is now-- A psychotherapist faces mortality
About this episode
How do you show up for others when you are facing the loss of everything you have ever known and loved?
Here Leah Barrett, a Colorado-based psychotherapist, opens her heart and shares her story of managing the careful dance of witnessing her clients' pain and trauma while she faces her own unfolding medical nightmare. Leah and Craig explore this immediacy and the implications for doing the sacred work of psychotherapy.
