Hi everybody and welcome to the show I have a great conversation to share with you today

I wanted to bring on a therapist in private practice, someone who's dealing with people on a daily basis, dealing with trauma,

to talk a little bit more about how you can deal with trauma, stress,

to talk a little bit about different types of therapy. For those that are in

my personal mastery course and familiar with the empty chair process that I teach there and

if you've come to an event you've probably done that with me as well we're

definitely doing it in the inner child workshop this weekend we talk a little bit

about Gestalt therapy which is where that approach originates from so it will

give you a little bit more information on that

process as well. Let me tell you about who's joining me today. His name is

Michael Gay and he's a therapist in private practice like I said in Boulder he has his

MA and clinical mental health counseling with a focus in trans personal

psychology he's worked in the field of counseling for the last 14 years as a guide

therapist and trainer.

He was a wilderness therapy guide for six years leading and

facilitating deep transformational work with teens, adults, and

families in the mountains and high deserts.

And as someone who spent a lot of time in nature,

myself, in the past month, I can tell you,

wow, nature in the wilderness is great therapy.

He's also worked extensively in the field of addiction

and recovery.
