Carolyn Perla, Ph.D is a therapist and psychoeducator who works with individuals, couples, and groups. She has been practicing for 45 years. In this episode, we explore her beginnings in theater performance and early childhood education, how her relationships inform her practice, why her mentors kept pushing her to pursue more training, whether a background in sex therapy is necessary for working with couples, why Carolyn doesn't (and has never) marketed herself, her attitude towards boundaries and self-disclosure, and much more.
