“This Side of the Couch” is for counselors who are sitting on “this side of the couch,” but it is also for the person who is sitting on “this side of the couch” with a counselor across from them. But even more so, it is for anyone who has curled up with a pillow and blanket on the couch and talked with a great friend. Join Audra as she talks with friends and colleagues about life, mental health, Christianity, relationships, and we might sneak in a little laughter too!

    The One About Freedom and Abuse (Ep. 12)

    The One About Freedom and Abuse (Ep. 12)

    Join Audra Dahl, LPC-S and Bob Hamp, LMFT as they discuss FREEDOM and abuse. This isn’t the freedom that is freedom from something but rather freedom to be something!  Audra has been searching for a while for a really great description of abuse.  This episode does just that and it explains how abuse works covertly so many times in relationship.  

    Bob Hamp is the founder of the Think Differently Counseling Consulting and Connecting Center. He has been in private practice and worked in the church for a combined 32 years of practice. Besides his years of private practice and organizational consulting, he spent ten years developing a group discipleship strategy called Freedom Ministry that helped thousands of people find freedom from a broad range of struggles. He has published three books built around the idea that changing thought process is the true meaning of Biblical repentance and therefore, the key component of real change.

    He and his wife, Polly, developed Think Differently Academy, an online teaching and training site, for those who want to go further in their freedom journey, and help others do the same.  His video series, Foundations of Freedom, is used worldwide to shift the way people see anew the Gospel, themselves and the pathway to change. He currently offers training and consulting to counselors, ministries, and laypeople. He and his team offer training in facilitating freedom, spiritual leadership, teaching and training strategies and ministry development.

Well worth your time

Laid back, relatable, and meaningful conversations… I’ve laughed and cried and had my cup filled up just a little bit more.
