  • A true gem

    This is a must listen for any student of relationship psychoanalysis! The realness of the dynamics and the therapists vulnerabilities help normalize the confusing messiness of this work. The supervisor Gill really brings in different theories at different times in accessible and not heavy handed ways. They embody the term relational in their own interactions together and the genuine ways they discuss the work with patients. Simply excellent!

  • Love the pod, really gets me thinking!

    Love learning from and reflecting on these cases. They’re fictitious but so relatable to much of my own work as a therapist. Thank you for keeping the episodes coming!

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.
