OM DENNE EPISODE
In his second visit to the show, Buddhist psychologist JOE DENICHOLAS tal about the relatively low-rate of success for therapy and the reasons he believes are the cause: from the standpoint of the therapy itself, the client and the the therapist. We talk about how therapists can create a safe environment for clients, the core beliefs clients bring into therapy and the need for therapist/client connection and a helathy seperation. We also get into the idea of mortality and the power this reality can bring to one's existence both within and outside of the therapy evironment.
