11. The Foundation of Our Work with Others | Barb and Aila

from Inside the Practitioner's Path · host Aila Coats and Barbara Patterson

In this conversation, we slow down and speak directly to the ground we stand on as practitioners. We explore the understanding that informs how we meet clients, how we listen, and how we decide what to offer in any given moment without clinging to rigid frameworks or rules.We talk about wholeness as the starting point, presence over technique, and trusting what’s alive in us as practitioners rather than performing a modality. This episode is an honest look at how our work has evolved over time, and why the deepest impact comes from who we’re being, not what we’re doing.Thank you for listening!
