How to Develop a Reading Practice. Frontiers Friday #148

A Q&A from a therapist in Montreal, Canada

Frontiers Radio podcast is back!

Here’s the video version:

This is a Q&A video based on a question from a therapist in Montreal: "When Do You Get Time to Read?"

I just wanted to say once again that I really appreciate your newsletter. I look forward to reading it every week. This week, I especially liked the comment on the importance of giving more attention to the conversational nature of psychotherapy in our training. I also liked the quote at the end, "It takes two to know one", which made me appreciate the importance of supervision and co-development groups to understand our clients better. 

I wanted to ask you a more personal question. When do you take time to read? I am asking this because there are so many interesting articles and books that are on my reading list but somehow I barely manage to make the time to read. I have a 2 year-old boy so that makes it a bit trickier too, but you and other therapists have children too.

Thank you for your work, it's inspiring. 


Admittedly, if you look at the timestamp below, my response stretches a little further than the original question.
