Why Trying to Fix Yourself Keeps You Stuck | The Right Therapist

Gestalt therapist, writer, and faculty member Dr Rhys Price-Robertson joins The Right Therapist to explore how awareness, embodiment, and Zen-inspired non-doing can transform the therapeutic encounter. Rhys reflects on the paradoxical theory of change—that we change not by striving to be different, but by becoming more fully who we already are.This rich conversation traverses the meeting point between psychotherapy and spirituality, the tension between will and grace, and the counter-cultural invitation to stop improving and start being. Laura and Rhys also explore how therapy grounded in presence and inclusivity creates space for authentic contact, spontaneity, and aliveness.Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of Gestalt therapy, mindfulness in psychotherapy, and the liberating power of awareness.
