About this episode

Audience questions for Ask Kati Anything!

  1. How does a therapist feel when a patient gets mad at them in session? Nothing threatening or personal, but things like copping an attitude, getting sarcastic...
  2. What are the things that can cause us to have attachment issues (other than abuse/neglect from our primary caregiver)? Can toxic friendships and having been bullied as a child and teenager cause us...

  8. Is it normal that after sessions with my therapist I spend a lot of time running through conversations in my head? It usually starts with things I may say or bring up, but I find myself answering for my therapist too...
  9. How do you deal with „second hand“ trauma (if that even is a thing)? about two months ago I witnessed cops having to tell my friend and her mom that their brother/son committed suicide...
  10.  I’m wondering why I was never informed of my diagnoses even once after years of therapy! I wasn’t aware of my diagnoses until I downloaded an app where I can view my health records and I was shocked to find Gender Dysphoria on there...
