Wait... can you say that?!

For a field that prides itself on helping people talk about things that nobody else talks about, there are a lot of things we don’t talk about. And by "we," I mean therapists. Things that don’t fit with the image of the “good therapist” that lives in our heads—or in the heads of other therapists.

On A Therapist Can’t Say That, we get real about what it’s really like to do this job.

We’re going to unpack the cliches you’ve assumed every other therapist believes, and speak out loud the thoughts you’ve thought no other therapist has had. We’re going to let it get messy, complicated, and uncomfortable. And we’re going to say it’s okay for therapists to disagree—even in public—without immediately accusing each other of being unethical.
