Season 2 | Episode 67 | Masters Level Intern & RT Therapist in Training -- Justin Metz

Welcome to Episode 67 of the RT Dialogue Podcast. We are so thankful to have you joining us on this journey. This is a little bit of a different episode in that we had a master's level student (⁠Dallas Theological Seminary⁠) on the podcast. Justin Metz (https://themarriageplace.com/divi_ove...) is currently training in ⁠Restoration Therapy⁠, having already completed Level I with Dr. Terry Hargrave this last February, while also completing ⁠Relate Strong⁠ training at seminary with ⁠Dr. Gary Barnes⁠. Justin is on staff at ⁠The Marriage Place⁠ in Frisco, TX, which is great, since we (Rhett) can meet up for coffee regularly to discuss all things RT. We really were inspired by the interventions that Justin is creating and already using in therapy work, and the way that he and his wife have been leading a Relate Strong group at their church. It's a lot of fun to see the way that varying interventions within the RT community are being built upon and used in different ways -- we see this in Justin as he was inspired by some interventions that ⁠Migum Gweon⁠ discussed on ⁠Episode 34 of this podcast⁠, and ⁠Tanner Hargrove's⁠ intervention on ⁠Episode 26 of this podcast⁠. We think you will especially love his practice of the Pain and Peace Cycle through use of rearview mirror hanging tags...brilliant. And it was insightful to hear how his experience as a ballroom dancer/instructor over the years has informed his couple's work. Enjoy the episode.
