A few months ago, Whitney Low hosted Sandy Fritz on The Thinking Practitioner.

Both Bori and Jeff had pretty strong positive and negative responses to what Sandy had to say.

In this episode, we try to tease out what struck such a strong chord with each of us.

You can listen to the TTP episode here. Each of us listened to it more than once, and we encourage you to do so as well!

Half book review and half "maybe this is why the work works" discussion, about a year ago Jeff read Lisa Feldman Barrett's How Emotions Are Made and has been mulling it over ever since.

Credit to two others in the field for pointing us down this path.

• Science of Touch's Eddie Ulm for providing a framework of bodywork through a predictive coding lens.
• The authors of this paper for linking predictive coding to osteopathy.

The most important lesson I’ve learned in my first year in business.

As Bori is wrapping up her practice, Just Breathe Manual Therapy is closing out year one in operation. Today, I’m sharing three lessons I’ve learned in the past year.

In this solo episode Bori talks about the different layers of burn out. The physical emotional and spiritual layers of fatigue. Have you ever had a burn out? Are you burned out now? How do you handle that when that happens? How do you know when it happens?

Jeff flies solo and talks about the idea of expertise.

After nine months of recording this podcast and over a year of being in regular contact, Bori and Jeff meet up in person!

The focus of this conversation is on the language we use as practitioners and the potential pitfalls of objectifying our clients through assessment. Beyond that, we get into the trick we sometimes play on ourselves when we strive for objective measures and the unfortunate potential side-effects of testing. This was a really exciting conversation that offers some immediately practical advice.
