What Real Change Actually Feels Like (From the Therapist’s Chair)

In this episode of Mental Health News Radio, I sit down with therapist and somatic practitioner Cody Gauthier to explore something we almost never talk about—the moment therapy starts to work.What happens when a client begins to change, set boundaries, and show up differently in their life… and it feels uncomfortable, destabilizing, or even worse than before? We talk about the lived reality of growth from the therapist’s chair:– why change often feels like something went wrong– what happens when clients hit their goals and it’s time to let go– the attachment that forms in therapy—and how to navigate ending well– why understanding something cognitively is not the same as embodying it– how trauma lives in the body, and what it takes to actually release it– the evolving role of men in relationships, emotional expression, and therapyThis is a grounded, human conversation about healing that doesn’t skip the messy middle.Connect with Cody Gauthier:Website: Cody Gauthier Therapy (South Bay, CA)TikTok: @codygauthierBoard Member: South Bay Eating Disorder CoalitionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.
