To celebrate the podcast's 50th episode, Vicki revisits four of her favourite conversations from the show's first four years. Galya Chatterton (episode 6) shares a moving example of slowing down in session, helping a client uncover the belief that she is a burden and offering her a felt experience of being cared for instead. Tom Walker (episode 21) describes how his background as a street fighter and professional boxer shapes his practice of high-intensity self-care, using movement and his body's own signals to release stored trauma. Patricia Haberman (episode 35) reflects on carrying both a toolbox and a bundle, blending Western counselling training with Indigenous teachings, and shares the moment a training participant helped her find the words for that journey. And Angella Murdoch (episode 28) returns as her therapeutic clown alter ego, Mabel, sharing tender, client-led moments from her work in palliative care, including a wordless five-minute mirroring dance with a man who spoke no English.
