Doing Our Own Work: A Parallel Process
As a female therapist working with adolescent girls, there are many personal experiences and challenges that inform the way I relate to and with the girls in my group. Like many therapists, I draw from my own life experiences to understand and connect with clients. Many of those experiences are joyful or transformative and many are painful or challenging. No matter the context, all of them help me to better relate with a spectrum of human problems and strengths.
