Here’s the video version: https://youtu.be/wcU7ch-MFW0
This is a Q&A video and podcast series based on a question from a therapist in Glasgow, Scotland.
I hope this email finds you well.
I'm not sure whether this will get to you, but wanted to reach out as I have been feeling in a bit of a crisis with my practice as psychotherapist. And have been reading your book 'First Kiss'
To put it bluntly - there is too much choice! I am constantly distracted and preoccupied by the great myriad of trainings, books, models, etc. And find myself paralysed at times on what to actually do with people. I want to help and be the best I can.
I have been excited and intrigued by your writings, and the writing of Dr. Scott Miller as well, and I appreciate that there are factors more important than the therapeutic school/model, but it still leaves me anxious about what do I actually subscribe to in a session, as I can't just do anything/everything, I still need to present a coherent narrative to my clients, and link that to the work we do together. Even integrative or transdiagnostic models (like PBT or Multimodal Therapy) feel overwhelming.
And when I look at Deliberate Practice, it seems great, but doesn't answer my overall questions.
I wonder, should i just pick a good, well-fitting for me, model, and then work at practicing the best version of that i can? Or whether I am missing something entirely?
So I wanted to write in case there was anything you could point me in the direction of reading or doing that could help.
Warmest regards
Peter

Frontiers Radio podcast is back!
Here’s the video version:
This is a Q&A video based on a question from a therapist in Montreal: "When Do You Get Time to Read?"
I just wanted to say once again that I really appreciate your newsletter. I look forward to reading it every week. This week, I especially liked the comment on the importance of giving more attention to the conversational nature of psychotherapy in our training. I also liked the quote at the end, "It takes two to know one", which made me appreciate the importance of supervision and co-development groups to understand our clients better.
I wanted to ask you a more personal question. When do you take time to read? I am asking this because there are so many interesting articles and books that are on my reading list but somehow I barely manage to make the time to read. I have a 2 year-old boy so that makes it a bit trickier too, but you and other therapists have children too.
Thank you for your work, it's inspiring.
Admittedly, if you look at the timestamp below, my response stretches a little further than the original question.

"Every impactful person brings to you themselves and not needing to proof ‘how impactful I am’, ‘how smart I am’, and ‘how needed I am.’" ~ Sr Joan Chittister.
If the therapy room is a vessel, it needs a scaffold in order for you to create a healing environment so as to help the person who is in distress.
But how do you structure a therapeutic session so that it is impactful for your client and not get caught up with trying to be “impactful…smart…needed”?I want to help you solve this particular issue: How to develop a sense of structure in how you conduct therapy sessions.

Dissonance can be a powerful ingredient for learning. How do we challenge our intuition in order to listen to our client's unspokens in order to foster a deeper connection with them?

As psychotherapists, it's easy to get lost in our heads. Our pet theories end up dominating and preventing us from being in touch with the person in front of us.
In this Therapy Tip of the Week, I'd talk about how psychotherapists can employ principles of embodied cognition—the idea of embodiment as a way of thinking—to help you deepen your empathic understanding of your clients, especially in stuck situations.

Appreciating the seasonality of your inner and outer life provides you a navigational guide as to where you need to nurture your nature.

In this series on Therapy Tip of the Week, we'll provide psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists one practical tip in each episode.
My idea of giving you this is not so much as to prescribe to you what you should be doing, but to describe possibilities, to give you ideas that can inspire you to create your own ideas in the practice of psychotherapy. My hopes of doing this is that it may widen the palette of possibilities to allow you to see a wide array of different things that you could do that is not restricted by particular theoretical models, but tapping into various schools of therapy that can help you in a synergistic and integrative way. By exploring these various tips of the week, I hope that you get to think about how to construct first principles that will guide you in your work as well.In this episode, I talk about one idea relating to William Glasser's 5 Basic Needs:
1. Survival
2. Love and Belonging
3. Autonomy
4. Freedom
5. Fun

This is a keynote address given by Daryl Chow, Ph.D. for a virtual conference hosted by the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
Cumulative evidence in psychotherapy suggests that we not only do not improve with experience, our typical professional development efforts by attending workshops, and engaging in clinical supervision do not lead to better performance. The aim of this keynote is to address the current cutting edge development of deliberate practice in psychotherapy, and its implications on how we can leverage to improve our outcomes.

I believe one of the most critical things you can do is to create a personalised learning system (PLS).
Though the payoff is not immediate, but like growing a seed, the benefit is tremendous, especially if you value personal and professional development.

In the 1950s, A fairly unusual be-spectacled and slender Lieutenant Gilbert Daniels was tasked to solve one of the biggest problems in the US Air Force: Plane crashes.
What he unravelled in the process holds a unique lesson for psychotherapists, and why we have been failing to implement and scale "evidence-based" practices as we try to fit the "average person" instead of the individual.

We pay tribute to K. Anders Ericsson in today's episode.
He is known by many to be "the expert on expertise." His work, along with his colleagues had a profound impact on a wide array of professional domains such as sports, music, chess, and more recently in the field of psychotherapy. His four decades worth of research also informed the hugely popular book by Malcolm Gladwell, Outlier. (Though the "10,000hr" rule thing got misrepresented by others).
~~~
In this episode, you'd hear- the impact he had on me personally.
- the foreword that he wrote for our book, Better Results (co-authored with Scott Miller and Mark Hubble, APA, 2020), and
- a short poem I wrote in Oct 23, 2010 that was dedicated to him.
Better Results book was also dedicated to Dr. Ericsson.

I found myself telling this story to me kids some nights ago. I believe it's worth retelling here, especially in the current anxious climate surrounding the coronavirus.
After the story, I say a few words about why we need to express our heartfelt thanks to people behind the scenes in our healthcare.
Plus, why we must support our local communities and businesses when this comes to pass.
And finally, news about our Deep Learner workshop, plus giveaway of the audiobook version of my book. Promo code is given near the end of this episode.Thank you for listening. Thank you for your continued care of your clients in therapy through this global pandemic. Take precious care.

"I spent half of my life lost in an education system that pushed for results and performance... and failed.. Even when I Began to perform well in undergrad and so on, I wasn't learning; I was performing."
In today's episode, we draw a distinction between "performing" and "learning," and what we can do to become deep learners.

No manufacturing company in the US and UK was initially willing to license his vacuum cleaner.
James Dyson was laughed at for designing a transparent vacuum cleaner that showed all the filth it sucked up.
Today, Dyson the company returns over $500 million in annual profits and employs nearly seven thousand people worldwide. Had the founder given up on the “bagless” vacuum cleaner idea, Dyson would be just another name.
Turns out, therapists have one critical thing to learn from James Dyson's innovation: Making progress visible.
