Seize the Hour Seize the Hour

Here's a quick talk with your host Ryan Howes, and producer Justin Blank, talking about what is Seize the Hour podcast.

Who am I? Why am I doing this? What is this podcast, and what is it not? Point to ponder: "What did I notice about myself this week?" Give me any of your questions or comments at my Facebook or website. 

The relationship between you and your therapist is the most important factor in your treatment (want to see the research?). Without a functional relationship, you could be missing out on quite a lot. How do you feel in therapy, and about the therapist? It's worth taking a look. Questions or comments? Contact me through my Facebook or website. The quote of the week: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou  

What can you do in therapy? Quite a lot, from working through tough memories to practicing confrontation to exploring hidden parts of your personality. It can feel strange, but the sky is practically the limit. What kind of person do you want to be? How can therapy help you get there? Send any questions or comments to my Facebook page or website. The quote of the week: "In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?" - Carl Rogers, Ph.D.

How do you feel about coming to therapy? Excited? Ashamed? "Crazy?" There's no shame at seeking help for a problem or wanting to make a good life better, but not everyone has caught on to that idea yet. Feel proud you're doing something good for yourself! Send any questions or comments to me on Facebook or my website.
