When the world feels divided, the therapy room feels it too. In this episode, Sabrina and Julia explore how real-world issues affect both clients and therapists, shaping emotions, conversations, and the overall therapeutic dynamic. From political tension to global stressors, they unpack how these influences show up, how to navigate differing perspectives, and why genuine connection matters more than ever. This is an honest, grounded look at what it means to do therapy in a divided world - and how both sides of the relationship feel the impact.
If you’ve ever wondered how therapists manage the weight of the world while holding space for others; or how your own reactions to current events belong in the therapeutic process, this episode is for you.
