In Episode 10 of The Art of Therapy, Dr. Warwick Phipps and Marizaan Koen explore how emotional closeness and distance influence every therapeutic encounter.They unpack how therapists can observe connection—not just feel it—through subtle cues like eye contact, posture, and openness. The discussion shows how these observations reveal much about a client’s internal world and how emotional distance connects to their presenting problems.Designed for working therapists and psychologists, this episode offers a concise, restorative reflection on the art of observation—bringing clarity and presence to your practice without the exhaustion of heavy theory.
