Bill Doherty on the Ethical Lives of Clients
In today's episode I spoke with Dr. William Doherty about the role of a therapist when clients bring us difficult situations, decisions, and ethical dilemmas they are facing in their lives. As therapists we are in a unique position to help people these very personal issues, but we have to be skilled at how we do that.

He is a professor at the University of Minnesota, creator of Discernment Counseling, and author of several books on therapy and relationships including his new book, The Ethical Lives of Clients: Transcending Self-Interest in Psychotherapy.

Somatic Experiencing and Couples with Abi Blakeslee
In our society, it is modeled froma very young age to suppress our emotional experience. This is traumatic for children in particular and for humans in general. Somatic experiencing is a type of therapy which helps people to become more embodied and move into acceptance of the emotions they are experiencing.
Dr. Abi Blakeslee, SEP, CMT, MFT, Ph.D., integrates Somatic Experiencing with clinical research, the psychobiological principles of attachment, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic bodywork in her practice and teaching. She has conducted original research on the role of implicit memory in Somatic Experiencing with a committee that included Dr. Daniel Siegel.

Customer Reviews
EFT interviews
Really enjoy the emotionally focused therapy interviews!
Good content if you can give over the verbal pauses
Helpful information and content, but the interviewee (eg: Kim Ploussard) has so many verbal pauses, including “you know,” rhetorical “right,” and “hmmm/umm,” it’s hard to listen.
It’s like she’s formulating the responses for the first time during this interview. I recommend that she listen to her own interview to improve her communication style.
Suggestion
Thx for this, great content! But I would love it more if you can change the music on both ends, coz it's really not friendly to the physical health of ears, and personally unbearable. Listener located in China, keep on your good work!
