Is your therapist truly neutral… or are they quietly avoiding you with clinical vocabulary?
In this episode, we explore the thin, slippery line between therapeutic neutrality and good old-fashioned emotional avoidance. We break down when neutrality helps, when it harms, and how to tell if your therapist is being steady — or just hiding behind technique.
If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “Are they being intentional… or are they dissociating?” this one’s for you.
