Hey, Disturven listeners, I've been a therapist since 1996, so more than 27 years now.

I've been a professor since 1997, so 26 years. I've been a content provider, a podcaster, since 2008, so over 15 years.

And as with a... so over 15 years.

And as with any other therapists, I have had many many moments that have been very meaningful to me as a professional, as a clinician, as a human being. I've had many moments with clients and all therapists can attest to this that you'll have a day of working with

clients you'll see seven or eight clients maybe more and each individual client can have a dozen amazing moments that occur in the span of that hour-long session.

And those moments, you feel it when it happens but they just breeze right

past because we have to continue to do our jobs and we have a client coming up next and then we have to drive home and we have to eat and we don't have time to really sit and contemplate the, I don't know, the, there's no real adjective for it.

The, the only word I have is that I am in awe of these moments. I recently just

saw the eclipse for the second time and there's no words to describe you've seen

pictures undoubtedly but unless you're actually there in totality it there's just nothing that describes it and it's the same with being a therapist

and us therapists will be having eclipse- like moments just moments of pure awe and wonderment. We'll be having

those moments perhaps several times a day. And in a long career, I've been a therapist for 27 years, just imagine how many moments there are like that.

And there's nothing different about me. Every other therapist will say the same thing.

And then as a professor, similarly, just so many moments with students, teaching in class or working with them and seeing them grow and seeing them develop and seeing them develop and seeing them develop their own confidence that, that spark that occurs for a student where they say,

I think I can do this. I wanted to be able to believe that I can do this and now I feel like I can do it.

And those moments where you help a student, a supervisee, a trainee, to help a client

and they come to you afterwards and say it works I did it I I

helped somebody I finally am doing the work and they appreciated it and just feel so good. It's like a drug.

And as a content provider, as a podcaster, there's just so many moments of

interacting with the listeners,

of interacting with my co-hosts,

having discoveries for myself, expressing myself, and so many episodes
