Ep #129. Kim Barthel, World Renowned Therapist

Kim Barthel is the co-author of Conversations with a Rattle Snake, and is a highly sought after Therapist, and Public Speaker. The conversation we have on this episode dives DEEP.  It is a conversation of healing, authenticity, and hope.   Thank you for tuning in. I'm so happy for YOU, the listener for having enough compassion for yourself, to take the time and listen to this amazing woman.  Her wisdom is priceless.  From Kim: I’m humbled by your interest in what I’m up to, and inspired by the work that countless people are doing to support others – and yourselves. If this kind of thing were easy, it would be a different world we live in. Which tells me we need to nurture our relationships through attunement, compassion, humour, and mindfulness. Remember, when it works it’s treatment, and when it doesn’t it’s assessment. This means we aren’t expected to get it right the first time. I’ve been doing my best at this for over 35 years, and still learning and repairing every day. For anyone who doesn’t know what I especially like to study and teach, the hot topics that I wake up thinking about are understanding complex behaviour, neurobiology, sensory-processing, movement, trauma informed practice, attachment theory, mental health, and anything that will support people in being their best selves. Thank you for being part of the great momentum globally towards understanding, interdependence, and compassion. Please connect with our team at Relationship Matters if that’s an interest for you, and importantly, thank you for doing whatever it is that you do to help others. We may never know the fruit of the seeds we plant through our smallest gestures, but just by caring we are more connected than we know. I feel great hope.
