Episode 30: “Meta-Therapy:” How Conversation Shapes Therapeutic Response with Leah Helou, PhD, CCC-SLP
from Speech Uncensored: A Speech Language Pathology Podcast · host Leigh Ann Porter, MA, CCC-SLP
Join Dr. Leah Helou as she presents the concept of “meta-therapy” as a fourth dimension of voice therapy. There is direct therapy, indirect therapy, and counseling - “meta-therapy” is the conversation that shapes therapeutic outcomes. As Dr. Helou is a voice-specialized SLP, our conversation centers mostly on how meta-therapy can shape voice therapy outcomes. However, wouldn’t this concept be applicable in all areas of our field? Shouldn’t we be empowering patients in aphasia therapy, motor speech therapy, and cognitive-linguistic therapy to take control and ownership of the therapy process? Listen and learn how to apply the principles of meta-therapy to improve patient outcomes in therapy.
