    Into Deep Water: The Art of Clinical Waiting with David Prucha

    Should therapists always trust their instincts?  Seasoned clinician David Prucha argues that some of our strongest therapeutic impulses—offering reassurance, reducing discomfort, or countering negative self-talk—can unintentionally prevent the deeper conversations that can lead to meaningful change. Prucha joins Psychotherapy.net’s host, Travis Heath, to explore how intuition and compassion can actually get in the way of client growth, and why waiting may be one of a therapist’s greatest skills.  This must-listen episode will give you fresh ideas about the nature of good therapy.

    The Loneliness of Being the Listener: The Conversations We Don't Have About Suicide

    Content Note: This episode contains discussion of suicide, grief, loneliness, and despair. Please listen with care, which may mean pausing, returning later, or skipping this episode altogether. Therapists spend countless hours talking about suicide professionally. But what about our own relationship with despair, loneliness, and the sometimes waning will to live? In this solo episode of Therapist Confidential, Travis Heath reflects on grief, the loss of two colleagues to suicide, and the unique challenges therapists face when confronting their own human suffering. Rather than searching for explanations, he explores what it means to stay curious about human pain—and what happens when we create space for the conversations we often avoid. A thoughtful, deeply human episode about loneliness, human experiences, and the importance of staying in the conversation.

    Well-Intended Isn't Enough: Healing, Joy and the Cost of Resilience
