Season 1 | Episode 43 | Lance and Rhett on the Core Concepts of RT

Welcome to Episode 43 of the RT Dialogue. In this episode we wanted to spend some time talking about the Core Concepts of Restoration Therapy. A couple of weeks ago we were hanging out with the Hargraves and some other members of the RT Community, and Terry put up a slide listing the core concepts:Emotional Regulation -- Self Versus CoHuman Identity and SafetyPain Chart, Peace ChartPain Cycle -- Primary Emotion to Reactive EmotionPeace Cycle -- Primary Emotion to Choice Actions/VirtueFour-Steps -- recapitulation of old self/new selfForgiveness-Four Station of Insight, Understanding, Giving Opportunity for Compensation, Overt ForgivingWhat is not on this list, but Terry mentioned as probably becoming a part of it -- the Stop, Turn, Slow intervention we are refining. And Lance wondered on the podcast if "usness" would be considered a core concept (we will have to ask Terry about that). One of the things that makes RT unique as well, is that it is a totally integratable model. We had a lot to discuss this episode, and never got to the Forgiveness concept, which we are saving for a later episode in a few weeks. But when you think about what makes RT, RT -- it's these core concepts. If you aren't doing these core concepts in your practice, then you aren't doing RT. Hope you enjoy the episode.
