On this episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You, Trent brings to an end a mini-journey into better understanding what “client-led therapy” is.

Trent continues his conversation with forensic psychologist, Ryan Teuma, and together they chat about:

Whether ‘intuition’ and ‘gut-instinct’ are relevant to client-led therapy,
What values are beneficial in a client-led, therapeutic relationship,
The role of transference and counter transference, including when working therapeutically within the queer culture,
The common themes Ryan observes when seeing his queer clients, as well as
Ryan’s recommendations for us if we’re trying to find a therapist.
