Ep 3.12 - Into the Hall of Mirrors: Deciding What (and When) to Pathologize

November 20, 2024 · 26 min

As I’ve been trying to wrap up this season of the podcast, I’ve been reflecting, in particular on my conversations about psychiatric diagnosis with Dr. Awais Aftab and Dr. Miri Forbes. I keep coming back to this question: How do we decide…
Ep 3.11 - Redefining Psychiatric Constructs with Dr. Miri Forbes

October 2, 2024 · 1 hr 1 min

Everyone who has a foot in the world of psychiatric diagnosis seems to agree that our diagnostic system could, at the very least, use some updating, if not burning it down and starting over. So how do we approach developing constructs of…
Ep 3.10 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Diagnosis

September 18, 2024 · 33 min

In my last episode, Dr. Awais Aftab and I explored the controversial nature of Borderline Personality Disorder as a diagnosis. One of the reasons I wanted to discuss BPD is that it opens the door for digging into psychiatric diagnosis…
Ep 3.9 - Epistemic Justice in Diagnosis: Exploring Borderline Personality Disorder with Dr. Awais Aftab

August 28, 2024 · 42 min

Suppose you polled therapists and asked them what the most controversial diagnosis is in the current version of the DSM. Many of us would likely say Borderline Personality Disorder, and it would certainly be in almost everybody's top…
Ep 3.8 - The Medicine of Intimacy: Embracing Anger in Therapy

August 7, 2024 · 22 min

Imagine yourself saying, “I am angry at my client.” If you immediately need to add a whole bunch of context and caveats to make that statement feel okay, you’re not alone. Admitting that we get angry with clients is uncomfortable. It’s…

Ep 3.7 - Getting Into It: Overt Conflict with Your Clients with Dr. K Hixson

July 17, 2024 · 55 min

Be honest. When you think about overt conflict with a client, is your first thought that it’s a site of exciting progress, full of potential for movement? No, of course not. I don’t either. If you’re like me, and I’m guessing a lot of…
Ep 3.6 - How to Stop Treating Your Clients Like Your Parents

July 3, 2024 · 30 min

How can we stop treating our clients like our parents? As therapists, we often share the experience of having been a parentified child, and this shared background fundamentally shapes the way we practice therapy, creating a unique bond…
Ep 3.5 - From Childhood Wounds to Therapeutic Wisdom with Dr. Karen Maroda

June 5, 2024 · 58 min

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: as a group, therapists tend to have some pretty similar formative childhood experiences. Our shared experiences as parentified children not only draw us to this field, but according to today’s…
Ep 3.4 - Therapy in the Shaky Landscape of Contemporary Neuroscience

May 22, 2024 · 25 min

As humans, we tend to like answers a lot more than we like questions. When we believe we have found answers, re-examining what we think of as truth is inherently destabilizing. In a relatively young field like neuroscience, paradigm…
Ep 3.3 - Unraveling Popular Ideas: Challenging Neuroscientific Narratives in Therapy with Kristen Martin

May 1, 2024 · 52 min

If you’re a therapist in 2024, odds are you have given a client a neuroscientific explanation for a symptom they’re experiencing or an intervention you’re using. You’ve probably done it sometime in the last week. So have I…
Ep 3.2 - Finding Our Place in the Lineage of Therapeutic Practice

April 17, 2024 · 26 min

Since the last episode’s conversation with hannah baer about the Jewishness of therapy, I’ve been thinking a lot about lineage. When I first decided to do an episode on the topic, I was primarily motivated by wanting a deep sense of…
Ep 3.1 - Between Mysticism and Modernity: Reclaiming the Jewishness of Therapy with hannah baer

April 3, 2024 · 1 hr 6 min

Raise your hand if this sounds familiar: In a group of leftie social justice therapists, someone says that therapy is a profession founded by white men. Everyone else in the room nods along and acknowledges the white male hegemonic roots…

About the show

Therapy is full of cliches. There are things we’ve all been taught as therapists not to question, even when we get that feeling deep down in our guts that the truth might be a bit more complicated than that. Riva Stoudt wants to talk about it. Each episode dives into a cliche, truism, or best practice of therapy to look at how it really plays out in practice. Whether you agree or not, you’ll appreciate a candid look at the things therapists don’t normally talk about.
