BENJAMIN REISTERER - Step Into the Mess

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, colleague, and fellow psychotherapist, Benjamin Reisterer. Benjamin is the founder of the Metafi app, is a psychotherapist and the clinical director at Mindful Counseling GR’s Claystone location. We have a hearty conversation exploring what it looks like to step into the mess of life with less certainty and more inquiry. We parse out the difference between solitude and isolation. We talk shop a bit about being therapists and what it means to show up with therapeutic courage, and relational authenticity with our clients rather than taking a power-over position as the expert with all the answers. I hope you enjoy!
