Therapy in unsettling times

Abstract

This paper reflects the complexity of working therapeutically in times of social, political and economical crisis. It is not only a story about me; it is a story about how therapists use their selves, as well as the importance of self-reflexivity, relational reflexivity and transparency in our work. I present ideas about how therapists can navigate complex therapeutic encounters within a systemic framework. In this way, I hope the readers will make their own reflections alongside my own.
