In this episode, Derek is without a guest for the first time. Will he be able to handle the podcast all by himself? Who knows? But you have an opportunity to listen in as he answers questions from listeners and followers on his social media regarding therapy and his work as a therapist for the last nearly 11 years.
In this episode, he addresses four (4) questions:
1. I know we only have 45-50 minutes in a therapy session, and I only get to see my therapist once a week. What do they think about me between sessions?
2. When you mention Process vs. Content, it seems like you don’t care about my experiences. Surely you aren’t saying that. So what are you saying?
3. Can therapists really withhold judgment?
4. How do you get over the belief you’re fundamentally broken to the core?

I am a sex-positive AuDHD mental health counselor who specializes in griefwork and relationships, working within the AuDHD space, supporting those of diverse sexual orientations and genders, of those engaged in non-traditional relationship structures, and I offer services to individuals, couples, families, or other systems of multiple individuals.
