Shrinking Heads - Episode 16 - Untangling Client Stereotypes in the Therapy Jungle.
About this episode
This week, we’re venturing into the therapy jungle to take a hard look at ourselves—not our clients. Even the most experienced therapists carry assumptions and stereotypes about the people who come throughout doors: the “one with the pumpkin spice latte”, the “resistant” client, the "perfectly self-aware” client. In this episode, we’ll explore where these mental shortcuts come from, how they can shape our work, and why challenging them is essential for authentic, effective therapy. Along the way, we’ll share insights, stories, and maybe even a few laughs at the traps we’ve all fallen into in the therapy jungle.
