What To Say When You Do Not Know What To Say In Session

There are moments in therapy where you genuinely don’t know what to say. The client is looking at you. The silence stretches. And your mind starts scanning for the right question, the right intervention, something to fill the space. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s easy to assume it means you’re doing something wrong. In this episode, I’m walking you through what’s actually happening in those moments, why they feel so destabilizing, and how to stay present without rushing to perform or fix. We talk about: Why not knowing what to say triggers self-doubt What’s happening clinically in those moments How to respond without forcing an intervention And how real confidence in therapy actually builds over time This isn’t about having the perfect response. It’s about learning to trust yourself when you don’t. If you want more structure for building confidence in session and in your practice, start here: https://www.craftyourpractice.com/start
