Is my Therapist My Friend? I The Therapeutic Relationship

Описание: Is my therapist my friend? This is one of the most common questions I get about the therapeutic relationship.

Short answer: No.

But if it isn't a friendship, what is it supposed to look like?

Like every relationship, it needs to be build with trust and openness. During today's episode of Therapy, Explained on YouTube, I talk about how to do this and what to work towards. Make sure to head over to @toctherapy on Instagram to get your cheat sheet on today's episode!

As always, I'm cheering for you.
