Episode Description
Deborah and Tracy discuss their preparation processes for doing therapy. We like to say, "Your session begins before you arrive," because we are getting ourselves ready, both individually, and as a team, to be our most effective selves in session. We focus on meditation and movement practices that help them, individually, get ready for a day of working with clients. We also discuss joint practices for getting ready as co-therapists to do a co-therapy session. Tracy explains muscle testing as part of his preparation process both before and during a session.

ReConceive
Episodes available on demand on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
As a global community, we witness rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm skyrocketing in the wake of more than two years of unprecedented stress and need. Helpers (caregivers, therapists, teachers, and even parents) face more demands than ever, often working hours of concentrated, solo emotional labor each day. We see helpers leaving their professions in droves, suffering their own health crises and burnout. So, who and what helps the helper? The fields of neuroscience, art, fitness, and physiology bring us insights never before available. But how do we utilize the burgeoning information to move from overwhelmed and lonely to inspired, thriving, creating, and connecting? ReConceive answers these questions. ReConceive probes connectedness for everyone navigating the mental health pandemic. Deborah Cox, psychologist, and Tracy Maxfield, body psychotherapist, explore new methods for working with our clients, and ourselves, through movement, art, and love.
