As a mental health therapist, you probably have had the intuition that there is some type of shared experience between brains, in the therapy session, in a community setting, perhaps in the world.

Listen to consider the implications for mental health therapy, and your practice specifically. There is even an opportunity to contribute to the conversation if you would like to do so.
