In this episode of The Unmasked Therapist, Kaitlyn and Kim explore what it really means for therapists to show up authentically in the therapy room. They break down the long-held “blank slate” myth, discuss the difference between authenticity and oversharing, and talk through real clinical moments where being genuine strengthened the therapeutic relationship.

From countertransference awareness to value differences with clients, they share practical insights on how to remain human, ethical, and attuned without making the session about you. Whether you're a new therapist or a seasoned clinician, this conversation offers grounding guidance for navigating your inner world while holding space for your clients.

We release new episodes every Monday morning.
