Adam and Raph discuss:
- Their own experiences of growing beyond their original certifications
- How to avoid the chasm of nihilism - that feeling of WTF do I do, if I’m not cueing muscles or alignment?
- How to let yourself be wrong, or not to know the answers
- How to give yourself permission to try new ways of teaching
- How to experiment with new ideas
- How to implement new ways of teaching with your regular clients
