Bron is joined by Matthew Jackson (Psychologist) to unpack psychologist myths and facts, quickfire style. Bron presents the myths (which Matthew has not heard before!) and Matthew weighs in, from whether therapists secretly judge clients to whether you can only take clients as far as you’ve gone yourself.<\/p>\n

They chat about:
\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd Judging clients and having favourite clients

\ud83d\udc49 Feeling lost in sessions and whether the therapeutic relationship is enough
\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udfff Do you need to be smarter than your clients to do good therapy?<\/p>\n

Guest: Matthew Jackson, Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor<\/p>\n
