  • #FEMICIDE in Kenya

    We have a disregard for women's lives in this country. Too many women are violently abused and brutally murdered and nothing gets done. Women are living in fear of men. And we are still trivializing these issues!


    Are we ready for a serious conversation about the worth of human life? Are we ready to admit that it is not because of "what she was wearing, where she was, why she was at the club, she is a slay queen, she was outside at night"? Are we ready to admit that there is no justification for these ruthless killings? Are we ready to admit that we have a gender-based violence problem in Kenya?


    Host:

    Jennifer Kyalo, Counseling Psychologist, Author, Podcaster.

    #Safespacearena #therapistperspective #psychologistperspective


    (Femicide in Kenya, stop killing women, gender based violence in Kenya, abuse of women).

    ⁠It is quite easy for most people to see their therapist as "the expert", the person with all the answers to life's big questions.

    Nothing can be further from the truth.

    Your therapist is a flawed, imperfect human being who goes through challenges just as you do.

    Knowing this fact, and the rest explored in this episode, before you show up to therapy will help you manage your expectations, and also realize that therapy is a collaborative effort between you and your therapist.

    So, here is everything you need to know about your therapist before you start therapy.

    • 00:00 Intro
    • 01:49 I am not perfect
    • 05:00 Your therapist does not know everything
    • 06:49 No bag of tricks
    • 09:51 We genuinely care
    • 11:35 Your therapist is not your friend nor your enemy
    • 14:44 We don't have to chat on the streets
    • 17:26 Working with you makes me a better therapist.
