    Therapist Horror Stories

    Therapist Horror Stories

    In honor of SPOOKY SEASON we asked our listeners and community for their horror stories. We didn't want the PARANORMAL kind, we wanted the ones that left our peers and colleagues in shock and terror for different reasons. As you will see, in this episode, the horror ranges from kinda scary to outright terrifying. 
    Elisa Dobler, LCSW-S and myself, Cristal Acosta, LPC-S, NCC, CCTP read submissions and react to therapist horror stories. We even tell some spooky stories of our own.
