The Expansive Therapist
de Caitlan Siegenthaler
Creative Parts, Self-Expression, and the Art of Therapy
Sobre este podcast
Therapists have been told to be a blank slate, that they AREN”T doing it for the money (that’s greedy…), that insurance reimbursement should be enough to live on (it’s NOT) and that coloring outside the lines is unethical —or some other lie designed to keep us in line. We’re broke, we’re bored and we’re burnt out.
What if we colored outside the lines of a 50 minute sessions with reimbursable “interventions” for healing? I imagine a world where therapists are NOURISHED- creatively, financially, spiritually, SOULFULLY. N O U R I S H ED. Where the expansive way to be is THE WAY to work and live.
What if, we expanded the definition of healing?
This podcast is a space to be E X P A N S I V E
Where curiosity is our guide and judgement doesn’t come along for the ride
Where we take inspiration from each other, from guests, from the world around us
Where other expanders satellite into our world
Where therapists expand themselves and their businesses
