"The most important thing of any storytelling is you can't be the hero of your own stories. Nobody wants me to stand on stage for 30 minutes and talk about what a great person I am. So if anything heroic happens in my stories, generally I'm telling about someone else doing it or I'm watching someone else do the heroic act."

About a month ago a friend and fellow therapist asked me to give a presentation to his chapter of GAMFT. At first I didn't know what to present on, then it dawned on me. Since day 1 I've been trying to follow in the footsteps of Milton Erickson. While my journey has been roundabout to say the least, what it's left me with is one question "how do you become a better therapist?" As I collected my thoughts I realized I had answered that question. I entitled the presentation So you want to be a Supershrink?: the search for informed simplicity. Suprsingly the answers to becoming better had nothing to do with what model you use or what theory you expose. So how do you do it? Listen and find out.

"For me humility is super important. Humility, I think a lot of people think, means humbling yourself and bringing yourself down, But it's also about bringing yourself up. it's about right sizing where you fit."

"It's a matter of utilizing, not analyzing, what the client is bringing to you, what exists in the total weave of the therapy situation, learning how to join into that moment rather than trying to instruct in some cognitive about how to get out of that situation."

"[Attachment] it's a protection systems that's built into our bodies, so when that's in distress, like with a couple, and you don't know if that person has your back, you don't know if you're safe with that person, or that person becomes a threat, then we go into survival mode. Literally our body goes into a fight-flight freeze response because we don't know if we're safe, we don't have that other person to keep us safe, to help us watch for danger, and to protect us when there's danger there."

"It can't be imposed on someone. It's for everyone who's interested in a better life."
Connirae Andreas is the last of the mavericks. There was a time in the world of psychotherapy when the field was advanced by people unafraid to ask bold questions and make even bolder moves. Much of modern day hypnosis and NLP was born during this time. In the thick of it all sat Connirae Andreas adding her unique blend to the process of change and personal evolution. She brings that maverick spirit into her newest work- the Wholeness Process. Connirae is not just dedicated to helping people solve problems, she's hoping to evolve the soul. And she's developed the approaches to do it.
In this episode we talk about:
- How her newest work was birthed out of her own emotional and physical health crises.
- How she brought NLP modeling skills to eastern philosophy
- How you can use the power of awareness for your own healing the evolution
Feel free to pick up a copy of the book, check out her online trainings or live trainings.

"I hear so many political pundits and talking heads now and when they talk about reconciliation or why there's is disproportionate levels of income and crime rates and all of these things now and they'll point to things such as 'well it's because of single motherhood' or 'lack of fathers in african america or minority communities'... okay that's fine, but that didn't just happen overnight. There's a reasons. I never hear anyone talk about reason and there's a reason."
"Some people may think I'm only doing this, Jordan, for minorities, but that's not true. I believe we're all trapped by this trauma."
James Hawkins: soldier, healer, pastor, prophet. James and I first got connected when I found out about his work with racial reconciliation in christian communities. As someone with my own troubled relationship with the church and a deep investment in racial healing I was enthralled. Since then I've had the opportunity to attend one of his trainings. Wow. His approach is direct and kind, confronting and compassionate. If you're looking for a diversity trainer he should be on your short list. And on your short list he should be at the top.
In this episode we talk about:
- The parallels between racial reconciliation and marital affairs.
- Why he's specializes in working with christians and reconciliation.
- The need for prophetic lament.
- Why christians can't ignore racial divisions and be congruent with the message of the bible.

If you really want to be a superior therapist then you got to keep getting trained. And you can, and it it will show up... I really care about not just being a good therapist, but an amazing therapist.
Anabelle Bugatti first popped onto my radar through her interview with George Faller. They spent an hour dissecting the nuances of working through client anger in ways which validate and transform rather than dismiss and invalidate. It was a phenomenal interview. As I watched that and her other interviews, two things become very clear, very quickly. First, she is dedicated to becoming one of the best. Second, she's brave enough to ask the questions we all think, but rather not ask. Both are qualities I admire. In our far ranging talk we discussed:
- How attachment theory is about more than just bonding
- How she began her YouTube channel
- Her best advice for students
