Empowering Couples Therapists: Overcoming Common Fears

 

In this solo episode of the heart-centered therapist podcast, host Sindee Gozansky addresses the fears therapists may encounter in couples therapy. She explores six primary fears: fear of conflict, fear of interrupting, fear of having inadequate skills, fear of not being liked by couples, fear of one partner dominating, and fear of big emotions or silence.

 

Sindee offers strategies and insights to help therapists overcome these fears and build confidence in their practice. Highlighting the significance of therapists’ work in strengthening couples’ connections and its ripple effect on families and communities, she encourages embracing these challenges as part of the journey towards becoming effective and compassionate couples therapists.
