I really wish Shedler's views were more well known, I think it's so important

NARM needs to be slapped on every billboard across the world for a year straight, your books and videos have helped me so much and continue to help me in all of the roles I play within and without. Thank you for this presentation.

❤ I have both books and I’m part of the inner circle, however, very discreetly because it’s difficult with my timing from Europe and my own agendas, and I just had a two day workshop with Michael Mokrus …. I have to say that the NARM approach, our method is to my experience, study and research along my whole life, such an inclusive Heartful, non-pathologizing and non-judgmental approach , as it is putting accent on curiosity and looking at the humans, we are with the understanding that our story created survival states/distortion/Iidentification …. I found it very complete, and I’m sure it will still evolve, and I really liked the part of respecting what people have at heart (talking about the soul, talking about spirit, talking about whatever is important for the one) and that is often indeed, talked down or poorly and judgmentally by many people from many different venues. This is something I really appreciate with you guys also in this interview thank you so much for this. ❤

Excellent interview. His point that there is a glut of therapists and that access isn't the real issue sounds spot on. Indeed, the real issue is the lack of meaningful psychotherapy available. The good clinicians I know really are booked up. Also, patients should be educated about something else: professional fees tend to be positively correlated with the quality of services. Thus, patients who "value shop" for a therapist are making a big mistake. Fees, as long as they are usual and customary, should be the patient's last consideration. For example, would they also prefer the cheapest surgeon available if they went into hospital - good luck with that.

Do keep in mind that Life Coaching has elbowed out psychotherapy. Life Coaching is Olympic training meets psyche.

The more I listen to Gabor, the less I find his ideas appealing.

Shedler is the man!!

How I wish this guy was my supervisor but his rates are unaffordable for me. He's worth every penny from the consultations I have been able to witness.

In your new book I found only one mention of emotional flashback and two of hypervigilance. Why? Those are prominent in Pete Walker books.
