Behavior Bitches

On today's episode the Bitches bring on probably one of the coolest guest couples ever, Kole and Tah. They talk about how everything we do is led by either desperation or inspiration. Tah is the "Done Dude" (a nurse with nearly 25 years of experience), and Kole (former substance abuse educator turned psychedelic advocate) founded The Condor Approach to provide a psychedelic-informed coaching certification for therapists, life coaches, psychedelic enthusiasts who know. Integration. Is. Not.Optional.They talk about flocking to the healing possibilities of power plants, fungi, and spiritual medicine, in finding safe spaces and integrating their experiences beyond the ceremony or journey. We may have solved the cause of Casey’s trauma in this episode so tune in or miss the F out!

On today's episode, the Bitches bring on one of the greatest in the field of behavior analysis, specifically when it comes to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Thomas Szabo has spent the past 10 years focusing his practice on teaching people ways to ignite behavioral flexibility in their personal lives and with others in clinical practice, schools, board rooms, shop floors, and community centers. He breaks down ACT and Relational Frame theory so that anyone listening can understand and even talks about some ways to practice psychological flexibility in your own lives. If you know Casey, you know this is her dream guest and if you know Liat you know she keeps it real AF that she knows nothing about AC, but by the end of the episode even she had lightbulb moments. This episode is one you do not want to miss whether you are studying for your board exam, currently practicing in the field, or just interested in this badass therapy. Tune in or miss the F out!
