In this Deconstructing Therapy podcast episode, podcast host Alefyah Taqui has an honest conversation with EFT therapist Jay Seiff-Haron, PsyD, about letting our clients challenge our worldview, especially when it comes to power, privilege, and safety. Jay and Alefyah define safety as a reality shaped by external experiences such as history, power structures, material realities, real threats to safety, politics, laws, and violence rather than an internal feeling (as Western individualistic therapy sometimes defines it). They also explore the danger of dismissing clients’ real danger and experiences of marginalization and oppression by labeling it as anxiety, distortion, resistance or unfounded perception.
