  Episode #79

  Season 2 | Episode 79 | Trauma, Emotional Regulation and Learning RT, with Kaivon Asgharian

  Aug 10, 20261h 8mS2

  Welcome to Episode 79 of the RT Dialogue! [ Sign up for RT Summit | Sign up for new Anxiety Intensive with Rhett and Lance ] We have been on a bit of a summer break in July, which has been really great, but also excited to ramp back up for the remainder of the year. And this was a really great episode to launch us out of summer and into the school year with. In this episode, we had the privilege of conversing with Kaivon Asgharian , who is a graduate student at George Fox University , and interns at Hale Counseling NW . Kaivon is up in the PNW and came to RT like so many do in that part of the country -- via Dr. Richard Shaw (thank you Dr. Shaw). We loved Kaivon's enthusiasm for Restoration Therapy, and all the great questions he had regarding it. There were so many beautiful insights that emerged during the interview because of Kaivon's curiosity and willingness to ask really great questions...and some hard questions. We dived into a lot of topics, and circled back to the conversation on emotional self-regulation and co-regulation, specifically in light of Kaivon's experience working with trauma and learning more about interpersonal neurobiology . We loved this conversation and learned a lot. Mentioned in the Episode Parent from Peace Journals (we talked with Rob Hayes back in Episode 46 ) Lilly's Pads ( Gil and Brenda Stuart ) Jean Baker Miller Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl Carl Jung NARM Dr. Dan Siegel C.

  Episode #78

  Season 2 | Episode 78 | Spiritual Abuse & Recovery with RT Therapist Nathan Ely

  Jul 13, 202654 minS2

  Welcome to Episode 78 of the RT Dialogue. In this episode we welcomed therapist Nathan Ely . Nathan is a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary , a Level II RT Therapist (as well as many other trainings and certifications), and he specializes in spiritual abuse and recovery -- a topic that we really wanted to address on this podcast. It's an issue that is very prevalent and one that many of us therapists come into contact with in our practices. We barely scratched the surface in our time with Nathan, but we plan to have him back on the podcast again, and he offers classes on the topic of spiritual abuse and recovery, as well as offering a class on demand . So we highly recommend you check out his work as it's a valuable resource.

  Season 2 | Episode 77 | Special Guest, RT Therapist Amanda Tipps

  Jul 2, 20261h 16mS2

  Welcome to Episode 77 of the RT Dialogue. [NOTE: The video recording malfunctioned and was unable to capture Amanda -- so this episode will be published all audio, which is probably how most of you access it.] We were so excited to welcome Amanda Tipps to our podcast and it did not disappoint. She brings a lot of energy and insight into the RT world and it was fun conversing with her. Amanda is on staff at Hill Country Bible Church's counseling center which is an amazing group of people. They hosted this last April our Texas RT Gathering where Amanda brought out some of her sourdough baked goods for us to eat. We really enjoyed this conversation and covered a wide range of topics from Amanda's work with teenagers, to navigating anxiety and depression in our lives. I (Rhett) am also really envious that she gets to practice therapy in a really cool community there in the counseling center at Hill Country Bible Church -- what an amazing group of people they have. And we are really looking forward to more Texas gatherings and seeing (hopefully all of them) at the Restoration Therapy Summit in Malibu this March.
