Great idea, Bones and Amber! “Explorer of Uncharted Territory” I really like that! (Now all I have to do is find two therapists by the names of Lewis and Clark to go into practice with, and we’ll be set for life…)Lewis and Clark......................................................................................and Grossman
Explorers of Uncharted Territory
Thinking of you, Amber…

Hey PR,
In the 20th century thinking of Lewis & Clark's expedition as a model might have been appropriate. But we're postmodern now. advancing with the times demands instant, quick and easy results. Marketing is another issue which has to be considered. It needs to be quick and clever as well. ?

It has to be quick, easy, and thinking of the future it should appeal to the twilight generation. Lewis and Clark were from the old school of real world physical trials. That's for old fogies who grew up with dial phones and only saw movies a few times a year.
The kids now like fantasy and magical thinking. So how about something along the lines of "psychological demon slayer". :)
Ah the irony...
isn't a weird thing, that to be taken seriously as a valid, professional, therapist.... that you'd need to artificially invent an image to sell? That's a reflection of the society we live in, I think.
My T's card just had her name on it, contact info, the letters after her name. But, her directions to her office was "look for the front porch covered in blooming wisteria". The wisteria is so famous, I've seen it in the local paper down here in NC. In full bloom, you dodge the bees to get to the door... and each time I did I had a more or less intense perception that I was entering a very special, spiritual place... if only one had the frequency tuned in. Like the train station in Harry Potter. Other than that, it was just another house on that street. I even intentionally tried to experience it like that a few times. Didn't work, tho! LOL.... by that time, we were in deep and there was an agenda to work on! LOL... exercise, practice, new perspectives and skills... kind of like an emotional personal trainer with the ability to see exactly what I was thinking and feeling... but that I didn't know I knew.
I have such a sensory connection to spaces and appreciation for architecture, and the interplay of light, volume, warmth and coziness, and honest strength of wood, metals, etc that her office itself was therapeutic to me. Add in the odd cat or dog that she was fostering, too... and I think it was just such a natural match that it reaffirms a persons belief in fate, god, something moving us intentionally beyond our awareness.
If she'd had a professional office, in a professional office building I think I would've been wary, on edge, and not nearly so relaxed or trusting. By filling the space with things that mattered to her... I could get a sense of who she was... form some emotional "common ground"... from the pictures, knick-knacks, the authors of various books on her shelves. Of course, that's exactly what I'd done with my professional concrete block basement (no windows) office. I even kept the flourescent lighting off most of the time and used several lamps instead. It was a good space for dealing with 1s and 0s... and overcoming resistance to technology.
Or Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. Leonard McCoy......."Space, the Final Frontier......to Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before!" :D

Maybe have a Bath'leth hanging on your office wall?
Richard, your clients are so lucky.
You are beyond brand.

Amber, you had a wonderful therapist. If only we could clone her thousands of times and spread the clones throughout the world! Maybe, at some point (if you haven't already), you could tell the Board what process you used to find her. Was it really just luck, divine intervention, etc.?

Bones: As long as I did it at "warp speed" :wink: !

SilverLining and Bones: Ah, yes, the Bat'leth! "Come to me, and I will slay your inner Klingons!" Love it! Although, you're right, SilverLining, I'd have to find something newer, more modern. Apparently (from what I gather), vampires and zombies are what need to be slain these days...Richard, your clients are so lucky.
You are beyond brand.

Hops and tt: Thank you! I am very lucky to know each of my patients--and also my long-time Board members. Both have been an incredibly important part of my life...
Appreciatively,
Richard
So glad there are therapists like you around, Dr. G... Fashionable 'brands' come and go with the times. Compassion and dedication like yours, on the other hand, never goes out of style. x
Dr. G,
Thinking about your long term clients and the averages in 3D. It occurred to me that some of us who are actively posting here have been around a long time. I don't know if there is any correlation between cyber numbers and 3D. I just know there are some awesome stats on Vboard. You are beloved :mrgreen:
