  • My connection to narrative therapy

    I have such a hard time finding kindred spirits who love narrative therapy philosophy and question the dominant practices and ideologies within the world of therapy. So, this podcast is pretty much my only connection to that world and it’s a great one. I love the guests and content. I hope to someday get serious about incorporating all of this more explicitly into my own practice.

  • Relevant and insightful

    As someone dedicated to narrative practice with ethics closely tied to a post-structuralist understanding of helping people, The Radical Therapist podcast is a foundational resource for my continued education. There are many times I’ve listened to an episode twice (Allan Wade was one of these conversations)and taken valuable notes. The guests have rich knowledge to share and I am always learning from Chris Hoff’s interviews. Whenever a new episode pops up, I’m excited to engage. Thank you to Chr... more

    Using tarot, promoting pseudoscience and quackery take away legitimacy of our field.
