When Therapists Miss Key Information

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

All therapists miss essential information-- things like self-harm, abuse, and disordered eating. These can have major consequences. In this episode, we discuss what gets missed in the therapy room, why it happens, and what we can do about it. From clients showing up drunk in session to disclosures that slip past us, we explore the kinds of clinical information that can go unnoticed, even by experienced therapists. We also talk about the impact of these misses on clients, the shame therapists can carry, and the learning that’s possible when we slow down and stay curious. -- Check out Leading Edge's upcoming free events, in-person events and over 150 webinars to choose from at LeadingEdgeSeminars.org, and find the training that actually works for you."
