Why Feeling Understood Matters in Therapy | Building Trust With Victoria Roman, LCSW

In Feeling understood is one of the most powerful parts of therapy—but it’s also one of the hardest things to create. In this episode of Normalize The Conversation, host Francesca Reicherter is joined by Victoria Roman, LCSW, to explore how relatability, appropriate self-disclosure, and authentic communication can strengthen trust in the therapeutic relationship. Rather than focusing on clinical jargon, this conversation looks at what makes therapy feel human, safe, and effective—from both the client and clinician perspective. In this episode, we discuss: • Why feeling understood matters as much as technique in therapy • How therapists can build trust while maintaining professional boundaries • When self-disclosure supports healing—and when it doesn’t • How reducing stigma encourages people to seek and stay in therapy This episode is for mental health professionals, clients in therapy, and anyone curious about how strong therapeutic relationships are built. The conversation is grounded, reflective, and stigma-reducing—focused on connection rather than perfection. 🎧 Subscribe for weekly conversations that normalize mental health, help-seeking, and emotional growth.
