How to Manage Overwhelm in Sessions with Clients


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed in sessions is something every therapist experiences. When clients bring complex issues, it’s easy to feel scattered and unsure where to start.

In this episode, we explore why overwhelm happens—unpacking the root causes like emotional resonance, unclear goals, boundary blurring, and how trauma impacts mirror neurons. Understanding these patterns is the first step to reclaiming clarity, confidence, and effectiveness in your work.
