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.
