Therapists are typically trained to leave their personal lives outside of sessions with their clients, so that they can maintain proper treatment boundaries.
John Kim takes a completely different approach to treating people.
He practices complete authenticity and transparency with his client. John prefers the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should."
He conducts sessions while walking around lakes or in coffee shops, and he makes it a point to talk about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world.
John joins Erica to discuss his truly unique approach to therapy and why he feels his clients respond so positively to a therapist who is transparent and authentic.
