Speaker: DEVANG VAIDYA
Title: DO THERAPISTS’ EXPERIENCES AS CLIENTS INFLUENCE THEIR PRACTICE?
In this symposium we will discuss how our own experiences in therapy as clients may have influenced our decision to become therapists.
Further, our way of practising therapy can be a reflection of what worked – and did not work – in our own therapy. Our expectations of therapy, whether they were met or not, can shape our ethos and style of working with clients. Indeed our entire stance towards therapy can be determined in response to our own therapist’s value system. We don’t often reflect on how much our therapists may have taught us about practising therapy. We are likely to be taking up theoretical, philosophical, methodological, and ethical elements that are resonant – favourably or unfavourably – with our own experiences as clients.
Devang Vaidya is a person-centred existential psychotherapist based in London.
