ANGELA NIXON - Marriage: What is going on here?

In this episode I have a chat with the one and only Angela Nixon! Angela Nixon is a breathwork facilitator and embodied movement guide with the Vitalist Institute. Drawn to the complexity of what it is to be human, she possesses a deep curiosity about the sacred path from suffering to freedom.

Through her own journey, Angela has discovered the power of working with the breath and the body to reignite the inner life force, bringing healing and balance to the mind, body and soul. Utilizing breathwork, somatic coaching, Reiki energy healing, and teaching, Angela assists individuals in connecting to the deepest parts of themselves in order to heal past wounds, uncover the soul’s inner truth, and create a radiant and resonant life in alignment.

Angela holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and is a certified Reiki Practitioner. In addition to all of this, we also happen to be married.

Relationally Focused Psychodynamic Therapy (RFPT) - Post-grad continuing education program for psychotherapists that I teach in and mentioned in the intro of this episode. We have a few spots open for the Fall 2021 cohort. If you’re a therapist and want to learn more, I’d love to chat with you! Send me an email at: bryan@mindfulcounselinggr.com. Relationally Focused Psychodynamic Therapy (RFPT) is an evidence-based treatment approach with strong roots in depth psychology (particularly contemporary relational psychoanalysis), dialogical philosophy, and neuroscience. As of December 2018, the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy has set forth policy recommendations that evidence-based therapy relationships and responsiveness be taught as frequently as other evidence-based treatments. (Reference: Norcross, J. C., & Lambert, M. J. (2019). Psychotherapy Relationships that work III. Psychotherapy, 55,4, p. 303-315). The RFPT certificate program is a direct response to these policy recommendations.
