After an unexpected three-month hiatus, Jess and Ryan are back! In this episode, they talk about something that doesn’t get discussed very often: what it’s like for clients when their therapist has to take time off. Whether the reason is big or small, shared openly or left unsaid, a therapist’s absence can bring up a lot of feelings.Jess and Ryan explore the kinds of reactions clients may have — confusion, frustration, worry, even feelings of abandonment — and how these responses often connect to transference and earlier relationship experiences. Tune in for a meaningful conversation on how these moments can become meaningful opportunities for repair when they’re worked through together 💕🎙️Hosted by: Dr Ryan Bittinger (they/them) and Dr Jess Erb (she/her)Cover art by: Una Grace Norona (she/her)Produced and edited by: Denise Danda (she/her)Follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtherapistisnotokay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
