Therapy Backstage
Ever wondered what really goes on in the therapy room—or why your therapist does what they do? Therapy Backstage offers short, focused episodes that pull back the curtain on the subtle (and sometimes surprising) choices therapists make to support healing, insight, and growth. Hosted by Australian psychologist Joh Knyn of Guided Healing Psychology, this podcast is for; - Clients who are new to therapy and want to feel more confident walking through the door. - Current therapy-goers curious about the process. - Early-career and provisionally registered clinicians wanting to deepen their understanding of therapeutic practice. From the use of silence to the meaning behind the question “How are you feeling?”, we explore the small moments that shape the therapeutic experience. Come backstage—you’re invited.
