Why Some Clients Stay Stuck | Trauma, Culture & Meaning
In this episode of Science of the Soul, I sit down with fellow counsellor and podcast host Brodie Read from The Best Approach Podcast for a deep, reflective conversation on transcultural therapy, trauma, and the therapeutic journey. With his thoughtful and curious lens as a mental health professional, Brodie invites me to unpack how culture, identity, and meaning-making influence the way we understand and process pain. Together, we explore the complexities of working with grief, trauma, and “stuckness” in clients, as well as the philosophical underpinnings that guide my practice—such as Heidegger’s concept of “thrownness” and the mind-body divide in healing. We also dive into what it means to support clients who have lost hope, and why sometimes, simply being present is the most radical act of care. Whether you're a therapist, social worker, psychologist, or someone on a healing path, this conversation offers rich insights into culturally informed practice, the emotional weight of trauma, and the everyday courage it takes to sit with suffering. Tune in for a grounded and soulful dialogue on what it really means to walk beside someone in their darkest moments—and how culture, compassion, and curiosity can light the way forward.
