We were so excited to have Terry and Sharon Hargrave on the RT Dialogue. Not only are they the founders of Restoration Therapy, but we (and many of you) consider them mentors and close friends.

In this episode we explore the origins of Restoration Therapy and the significant iterations along the way.

Terry and Sharon are the authors many books and articles, covering a wide range of topics in therapy, as well as exclusively focused on Restoration Therapy.

We look forward to having them back on to get even deeper into Restoration Therapy and the work they are doing.

We are so excited to welcome Restoration Therapist Nicole Zasowski to Episode 3 of the RT Dialogue Podcast.

Many of you know Nicole as the author of beautiful books like From Lost to Found, What If It's Wonderful, and her upcoming Daring Joy Bible Study. Nicole has also co-authored Families and Forgiveness with Terry Hargrave, and Advances and Techniques in Restoration Therapy with Terry Hargrave and Miyoung Yoon Hammer.

We were excited to have you her on this episode to discuss her journey to Restoration Therapy, her Therapy Thursdays, and new techniques and interventions she is currently excited about and experimenting with in her practice.

You can find out more about Nicole and her work at her website as well as follow her on Instagram.

Michael Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor -S in private practice in Pflugerville, TX, just outside of Austin. He is the founder and director of https://wholelifepriorities.com/https://wholelifepriorities.com/ and is a Level II Restoration Therapist and RT Trainer.

Lance and Rhett cover a lot of ground in this episode and honestly wish we had more time with Michael. But it's obvious listening to Michael talk about his work that he is passionate about helping adolescents and their families.

We explore RT techniques he is using in his work as well as new insights into RT that he is exploring. We also get into the new book he is working on which is really exciting.
