In this deeply insightful episode of Growing Tall Poppies, Dr Nat Green sits down with the incredible Tania Kalkidis—a seasoned Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist—who shares her powerful journey through trauma, healing, and transformation. She provides us great insight as an Expert in Psychodynamic Therapy and Training as to how therapists can best show up for their clients and themselves in the therapy room. Together, we explore the essential mindset shifts and tools needed to move beyond trauma into a space of post-traumatic growth.
Tania unpacks the hidden barriers to healing, the importance of self-worth, and how imagination can be a game-changer in breaking free from limiting beliefs. We also discuss the energetic dynamics in therapy, why therapists must learn to regulate their own nervous systems, and how projections play a crucial role in client relationships.
🔥 Key Takeaways/Highlights:
✔ Healing Starts with Belief – The first step in healing is deciding that change is possible and that you are worthy of it. If you don’t believe it’s possible, you unconsciously block your own path to healing.
✔ Reclaiming Authenticity – We weren’t born with low self-esteem. As babies, we express freely—without fear or shame. Over time, we learn to suppress emotions. Healing requires finding safe spaces to express our truth.
✔ The Power of Imagination – Everything in life starts as a thought before becoming reality. Visualizing yourself as healed, thriving, and whole is the first step to making it happen.
✔ Regulating the Nervous System – Therapists must regulate their own nervous systems to help clients do the same. Co-regulation is a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of trauma therapy.
✔ Projections & Energy Transfer – Invisible energy shifts occur in every interaction. Learning to avoid absorbing others’ emotional projections is critical for mental health professionals to prevent burnout.
✨ Tania’s Vision & Work:
Tania is now on a mission to train and coach psychologists, helping them feel more competent, confident, and less burned out in their practice. She has just launched an exciting new course designed to help therapists regulate their nervous systems and navigate the complex emotional energy in client work.
