I discuss the experience of going to therapy as a counsellor myself, and a traumatic run-in with an overzealous one. I then answer a listener's question about developing a crush on her therapist and explain transference and dreamwork to help contextualize and normalize her feelings. I discuss ethics that protect patients and therapists from romantic entanglements and leave her with actionable tools to process said feelings within the session itself. Trent joins me for the last segment where we mull over satirical gift ideas for dads, sad frozen pizzas and our quirky sense of humour.
