Mastering Therapy is back for Season 5.
And this season we’re going quite a few places.
We open with Professor Paul Gilbert, founder of Compassion Focused Therapy, getting very practical. We talk through how to work with clients that really dislike the very concept of compassion despite in therapy recognising they might really need it
I’m talking to Dr Ron, The Accessible Psychologist, about community psychology, diversity, working in UK prisons and why he thinks being anti-diagnosis can sometimes be a position of privilege.
There’s Dr Kelly Savery on working with survivors of sexual abuse, including the conversations about sex and intimacy that therapists can be reluctant to have.
And we’re going beyond the clinical work too.
Josephine Hughes joins me to talk about niching and finding the work you really want to do. Blake Roberts from Therapy with Blake talks about social media, visibility and why therapists find putting themselves online so uncomfortable. I also speak to Jo from Pear about building a therapy matching service, fundraising and moving into the business world.
And, twelve months after our first conversation, ChatGPT is back. This time we get further into AI and therapy, safety, ethics and what we should be telling clients who are already using AI between sessions.
There are also conversations on ACT, narcissism and plenty more.
Have a listen to the trailer for a few clips from what’s coming.
Season 5 starts Thursday 17th September, with a new episode every Thursday through to December.
