Audience Questions - Ask Kati Anything! podcast episode #21
1. I wonder if therapists ever get ''desensitized'' to sad stories and get less empathetic after listening to so many of them from clients? Also, does listening to so many sad stories affect your worldview and beliefs about human-being? (all the way from Hong Kong!)
2. I've heard you talk about how important it is to set a treatment plan in therapy. Can you give some examples of a treatment plan you set with clients, how you went about it, and...
3. Usually after a therapy session I feel great and much better than when I came in. But once in a while I feel shitty and frustrated after a session because I feel like it could have gone better than it did - maybe I could've been more focused or in a better mood, I could've shared a bit more, or used this important time more wisely ect.

8. How do we improve teletherapy when working on trauma and dissociation? What are some things the therapist can do to ground clients during telehealth sessions and what are some things we as clients can do to stay present? I struggle with dissociation even in office and telehealth has been a...
9. I noticed this weird pattern about myself which - to me - doesn't make sense. Since I was in 1st grade I always found myself looking for trustworthy adults outside of my family, mostly females. So I ended up feeling closer to certain teachers than to my parents. Now that I'm an adult I see that I'm...
10. Is it normal not to tell your therapist everything right away? I know the more you tell your therapist the better they can help you but once you open up will they be upset that you hid something...
11. Are nightmares after therapy normal? When I talk with my therapist about things that remind me of situations from my childhood (it happened to be abusive) for the next few days I have nightmares about these memories...
