Hi Samantha!
Thank you for your comments!
We’re really pleased that the podcast his helpful to you!
Trent
I really appreciate this type of podcast and the information is invaluable. I am a recently qualified (2 years) psychosexual and relationship counsellor in the UK and i listen to information like this when walking in the woods with the dog or anytime i am alone and have time on my hands (a very rare thing lol). It reinforces all that i have learnt and also gives me new learning and insight.
I listen to is over and over again and hear new things and make new connections all the time and can use the information or attribute it to clients that i have.
Thanks
Samantha
