Description

We have 3 listener questions. In the first question Keith wants to know how therapists determine whether a session is good or bad.
Then Ellen (11:35 ) tries to make sense of her reaction after her therapist names something in her past as abuse.
Finally, Jane (17:42 ) was frozen at the end of her last therapy session and wonders if it’s worth going back.

Feedback is at 10:52 .

If you have questions or feedback please send a message (voicemail or email) on our website: https://www.callthepsychiatrists.com
