Clients often share information that hits us right in the feels: Things that are sad, traumatic, angering, devastating, and everything in between. Bron and Matthew explore how to go about actually processing the emotional impact of therapy sessions. They chat about ?? Ways to lessen the risk of vicarious trauma ?? Managing the challenge of not being able to talk about client sessions with loved ones due to our ethical obligations ?? Our strategies for processing sessions.
