Deliberating Practice: Deconstructing Psychotherapy for a Better Future

Deliberating Practice offers a rigorous and critical examination of contemporary psychotherapy and counseling. Hosted by experienced practitioners Richard Tatomir and Glenn Wood, the podcast applies a critical psychology lens to deconstruct foundational concepts like trauma, explore the role of the therapist, and integrate diverse perspectives including depth psychology, systems-thinking, psychedelics, and Buddhist philosophy. It challenges conventional therapeutic paradigms, advocating for a nuanced understanding of symptoms and suffering within a broader societal context, particularly late-stage capitalism. This podcast is ideal for mental health professionals, students, and intellectually curious individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of psychotherapy's theoretical underpinnings, ethical considerations, and future directions, moving beyond surface-level discussions to engage with complex, often uncomfortable truths about the field.
