Is my Therapist My Friend? I The Therapeutic Relationship
Is my therapist my friend? This is one of the most common questions I get about the therapeutic relationship. Short answer: No. But if it isn't a friendship, what is it supposed to look like? Like every relationship, it needs to be build with trust and openness. During today's episode of Therapy, Explained on YouTube, I talk about how to do this and what to work towards.
