| Aligning Social Justice and Faith with Daphne Walker-Thoth | 27 Jun 2020 | 00:44:39 | |
My interview today with Daphne Walker-Thoth is another in a series of conversations I've recorded with people of color about their experiences. You'll notice that during this conversation I sometimes have difficulty even knowing how to ask some questions. I've chosen to leave the interview unedited so that my listeners can hear what it sounds like to have raw - and sometimes messy - conversations. Daphne is a retired substance abuse counselor emeritus. Before recently retiring, she devoted more than 20 years to helping awaken faith organizations to the anguish and despair of social injustice. Twelve years ago, she spoke at the White House as a panelist on the role of faith organizations in addressing social service issues.

| Surrogate Partner Therapy with Kristin Casey | 05 Mar 2021 | 00:48:25 | |
Today I talk with Kristin Casey. She says, "I work in the field of sexuality counseling as a dating & intimacy coach and surrogate partner. What sets my work apart from standard counseling and talk therapy is that my methods are highly experiential—meaning 'hands-on'—which for some clients is the only way they’re going to overcome their issues or develop the necessary skills & awareness to get where they need to go—meaning capable of genuine emotional intimacy and a fulfilling, satisfying sex life."
