PRACTICE | INTER-CLIENT RITUAL

in my experience the most effective way to prepare for a session in just a few minutes is to embody the highest potential for a client’s growth.

This is an incredibly powerful somatic technique and I challenge you to try it once a day for a week before a session and notice the results.

 
 

ARTICLE | SELF-CARE FOR THERAPISTS

Prioritizing self-care can help therapists maintain their own mental and emotional health, leading to better outcomes for both themselves and their clients.HERE IS AN ARTICLE THAT COVERS MANY USEFUL TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
