Despite its many benefits, psychotherapy can understandably be an intimidating and scary proposition for many.  In this special "fireside chat" edition of Thoughts on Record, host Dr. Pete Kelly, C.Psych  walks you through:   

  • common reasons why people don’t, won't (or can’t) engage in therapy and some food for thought around how to think through these challenges
  • some of the top reasons to consider engaging in therapy
  • observations around what allows someone the best chance to benefit from therapy
  • what to look for in a therapist
  • what to expect when you start therapy
  • what to expect during therapy
  • some additional thoughts on the opportunity that therapy presents

While crafted for those listeners who have been thinking about therapy, but who are scared, on the fence or maybe just a little curious and want to learn more, we're also hopeful this podcast might give junior and established clinicians alike some new ideas for thinking about how to talk about therapy with new or prospective clients.
