A Therapist Can't Say That

About A Therapist Can't Say That

Therapy is full of cliches. There are things we’ve all been taught as therapists not to question, even when we get that feeling deep down in our guts that the truth might be a bit more complicated than that. Riva Stoudt wants to talk about it. Each episode dives into a cliche, truism, or best practice of therapy to look at how it really plays out in practice. Whether you agree or not, you’ll appreciate a candid look at the things therapists don’t normally talk about.

   Introducing The Kiln Podcast!

   Dr. Kae Hixson and I started a new podcast! I wanted to give you a peek into what we’re up to. Welcome to The Kiln, where postgraduate education meets brave, bold, and imperfect therapy. We’re here to shake up professional culture—to make it braver and to help therapists rediscover their excitement for this work. At The Kiln, it’s okay to be imperfect. We’re building a learning community where practicing trauma therapy with courage is just as important as doing it with competence. On this podcast, we’ll share what we’re creating at The Kiln and why it matters.

Published 4 Dec 2024 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I mean, a lot of our clients have these patterns in their families two, three, or more generations back that have not been looked at and that they are carrying. And it is incredibly powerful to transform some of that. So again, whether you attune to the construct of PTSD or not, it really doesn't matter. It's not about... Whether someone meets all the diagnostic criteria, are people suffering because of the harm that has come to them from some of their interactions or some of their relationships?
