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!
