    A great podcast! I think this podcast beautifully captures the complexity of therapeutic work in an accessible and engaging way, with warmth, depth and humour. As a relational psychotherapist, I learn something from every episode — it invites me to think more deeply about my work and myself. Thanks Gill Rachel and Andy- I’m excited for the new season!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 4: Therapy Terminable And Interminable
Q: What is your final question to Gill about recognizing dependence?
How would I know if I was fostering a dependence that was not beneficial to the patient, and how to distinguish helping them access their own agency from over-administration of their life?
Episode 4: Therapy Terminable And Interminable
Q: What would indicate that continuing to work together is ethical or unethical in this case?
It depends on whether the work remains beneficial and whether the therapist can maintain appropriate boundaries without creating dependence; consider collecting more data and observing emerging dynamics.
Episode 4: Therapy Terminable And Interminable
Q: Hey Rachael, how do you know when a therapy is ready to end?
When a patient says so, and there should be a conversation about whether continuing adds benefit or creates dependence.
Episode 2: The Impenetrable Couple - Therapist As Third Wheel
Q: What were the teaching points, Gill?
We should look for subtle signs of enactment indicated by something unusual that we notice in a supervisee. It's also important to have alternative hypotheses about why a patient may be unable to find themselves outside of a relationship.
Episode 2: The Impenetrable Couple - Therapist As Third Wheel
Q: What was your dilemma going into the session?
I don't feel good about Anil coming into session, and I also don't feel good about telling him to leave.
