Authenticity in the Room

Bold and passionate, Vanessa Cardin is as real as you can get. She is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Co-Founder of Cozy, Director of Sponsorship for OC-CAMFT, and the Training Facilitator at Bloom Foundation. In all of these roles, showing up as your authentic self is necessary. On this podcast, she discusses the topic of how to navigate our own authenticity in the therapy space. What does it look like to be authentic with your clients? What is the difference between self disclosure and being authentic? As therapists, we are often encouraged to not self disclose, but this at times may hinder us from creating a genuine relationship with our clients. Some clients may want to feel like they are talking to someone "real" rather than just a "professional" because true human connection is what heals us.
