Jeff English

Practicing individually would have looked so different 10 years ago because of how the trauma, it's no one size fits all. And so to think that this intervention needs to be used because it's my specialty or this has to happen or this is exactly how long it takes for someone to have a window of tolerance, every human being is different. And I haven't seen everything because

Every Tuesday at the bridge will remind you of that. But I've seen a lot. And so my hope is that most people that I meet or I have met so many people and continue to meet them that you've described them when you talk about folks like I've got a lot. If you want to call it high functioning, I've got a lot, but there's something missing.

Now, they won't all say that initially, but that tends to be the truth. There's still something missing. There's a hole there. Something's just not right. So why are they with you?

Now, they won't all say that initially, but that tends to be the truth. There's still something missing. There's a hole there. Something's just not right. So why are they with you?

Well, it could be because they've just discovered, been exposed to something that happened to let them know maybe not. Oftentimes, that client that I just described may have got to see me to get somebody off their back. Like, you need to go do some work. You need to go get some help. You need to get to go help.

And then it becomes pretty evident whether the person's there for that reason or for something a little more authentic and for self. I think part of my paperwork should also include Jeff English cannot fit a square peg into a round hole, which oftentimes translates into I can't change somebody else's behavior in your life. You see that a lot, too.

This person that has finally gotten to a point to where they have been willing to go talk to somebody. And so that is so often the people that I'm seeing.

Outside of some staff members, certainly all of the clinicians, most of the staff members. And I can't imagine being a clinician there or working there without having done that. And that honestly has been the reason why some folks won't work at the bridge. So we don't operate from therapy hill, right? I'm in my own journey too. I've got my challenges as well, yes?

And so to know I'm going to have to do some work and then to wrap your brain around, these are the people I'm going to work with. To be able to look at a client like yourself and say, I'm literally not going to ask you to do anything that I haven't done. And to be able to say that from the heart.

Yeah, absolutely. And if you think to the way the journey starts is we disclose. And some professionals are like, be careful with self-disclosure. It's not about me. It's about them. But like, hey, we're going to ask you all pretty quickly to start showing us a piece of your soul, so to speak. So I'm going to tell you a little bit about mine. Hopefully we can start building that rapport early.

I think we can trust these folks. I think that they can lead us. Maybe not everybody, but like to introduce that. Because like you say, in week two, we ask folks to go places with us. That experiential therapy, and you mentioned one way of doing experiential therapy, the somatic part of what we do. But things have come a long way.
