Episode 140 | The Challenges of Being A Therapist with Dr. Thai Alonso, PhD
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Thai Alonso (aka Dr. T) a licensed clinical psychologist, all about the challenges of being a therapist. Dr. T shares a little about her background and clinical work, as well as why she feels it is important to discuss the challenges of being a therapist. We cover a variety of challenges therapists face, ranging from not feeling good enough, transference and countertransference, logistical challenges, challenges of working with minors, among many more. We could not possibly have covered all of the challenges of being a therapist; however, our hope with this discussion is to normalize experiencing these challenges for other therapists, as well as add a humanness side to being therapists for clients. Further, Dr. T offers words of advice and encouragement for any therapist currently facing challenges.
