Newcomers to psychotherapy wishing to understand what talking therapies (such as Gestalt) involve may be interested in the ABC RN’s radio piece In the Therapy Room. It’s about 30 minutes long with two sections. The first section presents a dramatisation of what it might be like as a client in the therapy room and the second section discusses parts of the psychotherapeutic process and other thoughts.

While Susie Orbach works with a modern psychoanalytic approach, the discussion points are representative of other talking therapies too.
