In this episode, we are fortunate to hear from Heather Plett, co-founder of the International Centre for Holding Space. Heather shares her expertise as she expounds on the idea of lessening our reactive responses and supporting what others need in the moment without our personal input and projections.

I also write a weekly relationship advice column available on my blog. I founded and ran an outpatient sexual addiction and betrayal trauma recovery group program for over 14 years, co-founded and chaired a local conference to educate community members about harmful media, and founded and administered a specialized group therapy practice for over 10 years. I currently maintain a private counseling and coaching practice in beautiful Southern Utah where I live with my wife and children.
