Therapy is full of cliches. There are things we’ve all been taught as therapists not to question, even when we get that feeling deep down in our guts that the truth might be a bit more complicated than that. Riva Stoudt wants to talk about it. Each episode dives into a cliche, truism, or best practice of therapy to look at how it really plays out in practice. Whether you agree or not, you’ll appreciate a candid look at the things therapists don’t normally talk about.
Riva Stoudt hosts A Therapist Can't Say That, a health show with 46 episodes published.
Dr. Kae Hixson and I started a new podcast! I wanted to give you a peek into what we’re up to. Welcome to The Kiln, where postgraduate education meets brave, bold, and imperfect therapy. We’re here to shake up profession
Over the course of three seasons, we have talked plenty about trauma. And yet, somehow, I have never explicitly described or discussed the modality I use with clients, Mentalization-Based Narrative Exposure Therapy (MBNE
As I’ve been trying to wrap up this season of the podcast, I’ve been reflecting, in particular on my conversations about psychiatric diagnosis with Dr. Awais Aftab and Dr. Miri Forbes. I keep coming back to this question
Everyone who has a foot in the world of psychiatric diagnosis seems to agree that our diagnostic system could, at the very least, use some updating, if not burning it down and starting over. So how do we approach develop
In my last episode, Dr. Awais Aftab and I explored the controversial nature of Borderline Personality Disorder as a diagnosis. One of the reasons I wanted to discuss BPD is that it opens the door for digging into psychia
Suppose you polled therapists and asked them what the most controversial diagnosis is in the current version of the DSM. Many of us would likely say Borderline Personality Disorder, and it would certainly be in almost ev
Imagine yourself saying, “I am angry at my client.” If you immediately need to add a whole bunch of context and caveats to make that statement feel okay, you’re not alone. Admitting that we get angry with clients is unco
Be honest. When you think about overt conflict with a client, is your first thought that it’s a site of exciting progress, full of potential for movement? No, of course not. I don’t either. If you’re like me, and I’m gue
How can we stop treating our clients like our parents? As therapists, we often share the experience of having been a parentified child, and this shared background fundamentally shapes the way we practice therapy, creatin
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: as a group, therapists tend to have some pretty similar formative childhood experiences. Our shared experiences as parentified children not only draw us to this field, but acco
As humans, we tend to like answers a lot more than we like questions. When we believe we have found answers, re-examining what we think of as truth is inherently destabilizing. In a relatively young field like neuroscien
If you’re a therapist in 2024, odds are you have given a client a neuroscientific explanation for a symptom they’re experiencing or an intervention you’re using. You’ve probably done it sometime in the last week. So have
Since the last episode’s conversation with hannah baer about the Jewishness of therapy, I’ve been thinking a lot about lineage. When I first decided to do an episode on the topic, I was primarily motivated by wanting a d
Raise your hand if this sounds familiar: In a group of leftie social justice therapists, someone says that therapy is a profession founded by white men. Everyone else in the room nods along and acknowledges the white mal
Co-conspirator and friend of the podcast, Dr. K Hixson, returns to share some exciting news about a true labor of love. We’ve joined up to create The Kiln, a comprehensive supervision and training program for pre-license
To wrap up season two of A Therapist Can’t Say That, I’m continuing my reflections on my ten years as a therapist. I’ll be back in April with interviews on some juicy topics, but for now, here are lessons six through ten
Every therapist remembers their first client. Many look back and cringe at what a bad job they think they did. But for me, I look back and remember the magic I felt in the room with my very first client. Which isn’t to s
In the last episode with Dr. K Hixson, I said that our field is defined by the wish fulfillment fantasy of the parentified child. The parentified child wants nothing more than to get it right, manage the relationship, an
Immediacy may seem like a stale topic, but I truly believe that it has the capacity to be the primary tool of magic in the therapeutic relationship. Immediacy is risky. Immediacy is counter-cultural. Immediacy is a disru
Inspired by my conversation in the last episode with Dr. Andrea Celenza, today I want to talk about tolerating paradoxes and about love in the context of therapy. In our conversation and in her book, Sexual Boundary Viol
