I think there are many skilled professionals that come from all walks of life. But just like not all doctors are made equal, not all therapists are made equal. And I don't mean so much really even the person. I mean, I think that it's important to really address some of what we know to be true in science. And this is what I want to do here today, when we talk about how to differentiate between what might be harmful and what might be healing.
Ever felt stuck with a therapist who just doesn't seem to help? In this episode of the 'Emotional Health Matters Podcast', Kim Sargent, clinical director at Canadian Family Health Counselling and founder of Neural Network Therapy®, dives into the tricky terrain of therapy that heals versus therapy that harms. Kim sheds light on the critical factors to consider when choosing a therapist and how to trust your gut instincts in the process.
She emphasizes the power of a 'doing approach'—an active, skill-building method—as opposed to traditional talk therapy that might reinforce negative patterns. Kim's insights are backed by her deep understanding of neuroscience and her practical, holistic approach to mental health. She shares her own experiences and offers actionable advice on boosting mood, reducing anxiety, managing anger, and breaking bad habits. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their emotional well-being through more effective therapeutic practices.
Tune in for a candid discussion that challenges conventional therapy norms and provides fresh perspectives on mental health.
