In Episode 17 of The Art of Therapy, Dr. Warwick Phipps and Marizaan Koen explore flexibility — the often-overlooked skill that links control, adaptation, and mental wellbeing.
They unpack why being effective in one environment doesn’t guarantee effectiveness in another, and how rigid “preferred ways of relating” can quietly contribute to distress, conflict, and stuck therapeutic processes. Through practical examples, they show how flexibility is not about being agreeable, but about responding appropriately to context.
For therapists and psychologists, this episode offers a clear, accessible lens for observing adaptability in clients — and in ourselves — without judgment.
Created for working clinicians who want concise, meaningful learning that deepens insight without adding to burnout.
