  Episode 41: When Therapy Stalls

  Jun 28, 202647 min

  The therapeutic journey often has a lot of twists and turns, rather than a straight line trajectory. This is due to many factors…different personality types, motivation for change, toleration of discomfort, etc. In fact, therapy can stall out as well, which does not necessarily mean a problem exists, but rather that an opportunity for reassessment is present. Matt and Sarah explore what causes therapeutic stalls, what information to glean from these experiences, and the choices that present themselves as a result, along the path of growth and healing. theaffinityconsultants.com Cover art by Scott Thome Music composed by Justin Breame
