Is it possible your expectations of your therapist are holding back your mental health? It’s common for clients, especially those recovering from trauma or with low self-esteem, to expect therapists to be perfect. However, placing them on a pedestal only reinforces unhealthy beliefs and prevents true healing. In this episode, I explain why recognizing therapists as human beings—with flaws and struggles—helps Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) build trust, set boundaries, and foster real emotional growth. Discover how honesty and vulnerability create stronger therapeutic relationships that lead to long-lasting mental health benefits.
