    Episode Two - Alex Bishop (Registered Counsellor & Psychotherapist)

    In today's episode my guest is Alex Bishop. Alex is a registered counselor, an entrepreneur, and a community mental health worker in downtown Vancouver, BC. We discuss what lead Alex on his path of spiritual growth and mental health. We talk about the complexities of the human mind and how much there is to discover about ourselves that we don't already know. Consequently, we discussed various types of anxiety in relationships as well as working with our subconscious to improve and heal ourselves. Alex explains the main approach he uses which is called Internal Family Systems (IFS) which is a way of looking at the mind as multiple parts of a system that all play a role in keeping us "safe". Alex's favorite hobby is working with his online IFS group. The two main things he does for self-care and personal growth are exercise and "Inner work" (the process of looking inward and figuring out how to better yourself through discovery, understanding, processing, and working through the stuff that comes up). One thing he thinks anyone can apply to improve themselves is self-compassion. His one book recommendation is We by Robert Johnson.
