Description:

The one-and-only Bonnie Badenoch* joins Lisa for this beautiful conversation about non-judgmental presence and how this is so critical in our role as therapists. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How, as a profession, we've become concretized into the left hemisphere (e.g., in a movement toward protocols, interventions, and evidence-based therapies) and how this has pulled us more into the role of experts trying to "fix" people;
  • What holding a “non-judgement” presence means; 
  • What the “inner community” is, how to be aware and work with our inner community in order to be present with our clients;  
  • How to return to a non-judgmental presence in moments when we experience judgment (and how to even recognize when we’re in a place of judgment);
  • The 2 pillars of non-judgmental presence and the importance of this in our work; and
  • How to engage in our own reflective processes and having supportive others who can truly hold a nonjudgmental space for you.  

Listen to this beautiful conversation that gets us back into the right hemisphere in our work as therapists and back to trusting the wisdom of the client in their own healing process. Discover how to bring more non-judgmental presence in your clinical work and how to offer this same space for yourself.

Bonnie is moving toward retirement, and we’re so grateful that she could join. Thank you Bonnie and much love on the journey
