Episode 1: Just a Throwaway Then

Episode 1 — “Just a throwaway then…”

Hey there, friends! Welcome to the very first episode of "Psycho Therapy," a podcast where we shine a light on the lesser-discussed aspects of therapy - the times when it doesn't go as planned and ends up causing harm. I'm Leah Denton, your host, navigating this journey with you.

Today's episode is incredibly close to my heart. I'm sharing my own story, a narrative that involves trust, betrayal, and the quest for healing after therapy went awry with my therapist, Scott. It's a raw and real look at the complexities of therapeutic relationships and the impact they can have on us.

In This Episode:

• My Story: Dive deep into my experience with therapy harm, exploring how the boundaries were crossed and the emotional rollercoaster that followed.

• The Bigger Picture: We're not just talking about personal experiences; we're looking at what this means for the world of psychotherapy. How do we navigate these waters? How do we find healing and support?

• Acknowledgments: A special thanks to Beau, my brother-in-law, for his invaluable support and insight into shaping this story. Also, a big shoutout to Peach Tree Sound for their exceptional work on the audio quality of this podcast.
