We’re on a mission to make therapy better by learning from everyone’s mistakes—including our own.
Let’s face it, therapy goes wrong sometimes. It’s not a secret. But we don’t talk about it enough! And research suggests that clinicians’ skills don’t just improve over time through some alchemy of attending continuing education courses and racking up client hours. So we wanted to find out—what happens when therapy goes wrong, and how can we become better therapists?
We are two Los Angeles-based mental health professionals, and on the Very Bad Therapy podcast, we hear guest stories about therapy gone wrong, get expert perspectives on what could have gone better, and take a look at current research to help clients—and clinicians—get the results they want out of therapy.
