🗣️ Alongside the book “𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 [Routledge books]” are additional online resources, including video lessons, the evolving whole practice framework, reusable artefacts and slides, plus an online community to discuss the approach, ask questions, and provide feedback. A key purpose is to retain it as a community co-created book (rather than centring one voice). If you're reading my book and want to discuss it further, or if you're thinking of transitioning to a whole embedded curriculum, please consider joining this community to join discussions, share experiences, provide feedback, ask questions, and more. Material will go live just before launch. #counselling #psychotherapy @tadf #wholepractice Link: tadf.uk/courses/newint…
