Welcome to the Therapist Confidential Podcast.
I'm your host Travis Heath and I promise to show up with all my complexity as a human being. I'll show up imperfectly. I'll show up messy and I'll show up honest.
Therapist Confidential is a raw, real, and unscripted podcast and I will push beyond the surface-level conversations. We'll dive deep into the successes, struggles, fears, and failures that reveal my guests in a way they’ve never been heard before.
Therapist Confidential is for all who are or will become therapists, people with interest in therapy work, and individuals who are genuinely interested in learning about what it means to be a therapist.

Holding the Mirror Up to Systems That Fail Us: Treating Eating Disorders with Kim Fry
“I’m not here to fix bodies or food behaviors—I’m here to hold space for what those things are holding.” In this episode, Kim Fry challenges traditional models for treating eating disorders and invites us into a more relational approach. From deconstructing societal aesthetics to unlearning what you know about “healthy” behavior, Kim helps us rethink what healing looks like in a system that so often fails the people it claims to serve.
Episode 12
Real Therapy in the Land of Zombies with Digital Play Therapy Expert, Jessica Stone
“We're gonna have a conversation about the thing, or we can do the thing, and then I can see it in real time.” In this episode, Travis Heath sits down with Digital Play Therapy Expert Jessica Stone to explore how screen-based environments—often viewed with skepticism—can become rich spaces for therapeutic connection. From Virtual Sandtrays to video games, Stone makes the case that what matters most isn’t the medium—it’s the meaning.
