Am I a Bad Therapist?

102. Transfer Request Denied


Listen Later

Communicating with clients is already hard, but imagine how much harder it gets when your client criticizes your Mandarin language skills and requests a transfer. Cat shares this experience and reflects on the power dynamics as she struggled to find a balance between her therapeutic style and the client's needs. Through supervision and self-reflection, she learns to put aside her ego and approach the client with empathy and validation. The rupture and repair process in therapy is explored, and Cat emphasizes the importance of not taking criticism personally and understanding the client's struggles.
