The Importance of Perspective Technology in Therapy

Richard is a psychotherapist, author, speaker, and the managing editor of The Science of Psychotherapy magazine. He is currently completing his PhD on client-responsive therapy and has spent the past few years investigating the exciting role that curiosity can play in the therapeutic process. Richard is the author of three books including: The Practitioner's Guide to the Science of Psychotherapy, The Practitioner's Guide to Mirroring Hands, and "How the Real World is Driving us Crazy". In my work, I get to meet some fascinating characters but I have to say that Richard may be one of the most interesting, and in this interview, I think you'll see why. We cover: — The psychological and biological benefits of curiosity — How Richard's experiences as an actor influenced his therapeutic work and why he recommends that all therapists take one year of acting lessons — Why the best therapy is the one that you never repeat — The importance of learning multiple different types of therapy — The relationship between the actuality field, the probability field, and the possibility field and their relevance for therapy And more.
