CTA Podcast
Critical Therapy Antidote was established in 2020 as a response to the rapid, uncontested and systemic encroachment of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) on the psychotherapy field. The purpose of its establishment was to provide a platform where those concerned about this ideological takeover can challenge these ideas in articles, share resources and find a network of likeminded professionals and laypersons. In March 2023, the CTA Podcast was launched by clinical psychologist, Jaco van Zyl, and marriage and family therapist, Christine Sefein-Wolk. The CTA Podcast aims to critically analyse the tenets of CSJ, to provide diverse alternatives to this ideology, and to reestablish the healing ethos of psychotherapy. Welcome to the CTA Podcast. We hope it will both stimulate and challenge you.

Cynical Therapies Book: Birgit Ewald - Therapeutic Presence vs CSJ.
Birgit Ewald is a UK-based counsellor, clinical supervisor, and lecturer in counselling. She has a longstanding interest in psycho-spiritual development, the interface between psychology and spirituality and the nature of relationships. She is currently researching the therapist's experience of therapeutic presence, in particular the transpersonal/spiritual dimension of presence.
Birgit is the author of the chapter, Therapeutic Presence and th Inadequacy of Critical Social Justice, which we discuss and elaborate on in this episode. We explore the basic requirements necessary for a therapeutic relationship from humanistic/transpersonal perspectives. We also discuss the I-Thou vs the I-it relationship of Martin Buber, and how it plays out in therapy. This forms the basis for contrasting and critiquing Critical Social Justice as inadequate for the establishment of a healing therapeutic relationship.
