Being Human and Doing Psychotherapy is a podcast that portraits the human in psychotherapists and the psychotherapist present in all of us. Whatever profession we pursue, we first enter it with humanity and the fullness of the whole being. Through this podcast, I curiously explore what the “secret ingredients” of various psychotherapeutic directions are and how they integrate through the specific life and human stories of the therapists who practice and live them. I hope this conversation brings something new in your perception and knowledge on this topic.
