Summary

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking through your questions and confessions that you're too scared to ask and tell your therapist! They cover topics like asking your therapist what your diagnosis is, processing the fear of judgment in therapy, and what is "too personal" of a question to ask your therapist (such as, do they have a toxic MIL, too?). Em and Jen discuss looking up your therapist online and share the motivations for doing so, how to ask for what you need in session if your therapist is going in a direction you dislike, what it means to you to know your therapist is an imperfect person, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 3:30 to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content. Get Matched With One of Our Therapists at The Therapy Group!
