June 18, 2019 Basic Therapy
Welcome to the first installment of the Bad Therapy series. We need to first understand some basics of what therapy is and how it works. Clients are walking into sessions with a combination of hope and desperation - this is easily taken advantage of by a "therapist" that isn't up to snuff. We want you to be able to enter your sessions with some clarity on what YOU want out of your time/money as well as some clarity on what is SUPPOSED to be happening.

June 04, 2019 Bottom-Up & Outside-In Ways to Change Your Polyvagal State
Mercedes & I discuss how we personally use different bottom-up techniques to climb the polyvagal ladder and reach a more safe & social state - music, dance, play, breathing and more. We also discuss what it means to "allow" the process to happen in simple day to day application.

Full show notes are available on justinLMFT.com/post/episode15
I had the distinct pleasure of being able to talk in-depth with Dr Porges about the Polyvagal Theory and how it applies to various things, such as clinical disorders, the role of psychiatry, empathy vs compassion and much more.
