A quick monthly update from our cabin in the mountains while we enjoy some summer R+R. We were inspired by the crisp, mountain air and solitude to do some reflection. What does it mean to be a practitioner? A researcher? And how can we use recent discussions of police brutality to check our own treatment of clients? We even came upon a hiking Dr. Cody Morris to join us. So, find your own zen place of reflection for some research-discussion goodness.
