19: We all know what assuming does

Yeah, assuming is typically NOT something we recommend. However, there is a way to do it, and do it well. When we assume positive intent or even neutral intent, it has a magical impact on relationship building. It fosters seeing humans as desiring good outcomes, and therefore facilitates making better outcomes a reality.

18: The necessity of unlearning

We are big fans of both higher education and continuing education. But we have also been around long enough to know that not everything taught, is worthy of retaining or practicing. Unpacking knowledge and running an inventory of what is valuable and should be packed up and carried into one's career is a worthwhile, intentional process.

Increasing awareness, practicing mindfulness as part of self-care and client care, and practicing empathy are all elements featured in this episode with special attention given to the classic "empty chair technique".

15: A new perspective on "out of left field"

Unexpected, surprising, strange, and unconventional are all words used to describe a comment that comes from left field. Tianna and Tara propose how these sometimes random comments can be incredible building blocks for fostering trust and enhancing safety in relationships - both in and out of the therapy room.
