Has a Client Ever Hurt Your Feelings?

from Edge of the Couch Hosted by Jordan Pickell and Alison McCleary

You guessed it-- we saw something online this week that got us thinking. This time, it was a reel where a therapist claimed that clients cannot hurt her feelings. But... of course they can...? We're human, after all. But knowing when to process our emotional response directly with clients and when to let it lie and process it elsewhere is worth deeper reflection.
