Season 2 | Episode 77 | Special Guest, RT Therapist Amanda Tipps

--Welcome to Episode 77 of the RT Dialogue. [NOTE: The video recording malfunctioned and was unable to capture Amanda -- so this episode will be published all audio, which is probably how most of you access it.] We were so excited to welcome ⁠Amanda Tipps (https://www.hcbc.com/counselor-bio?pe... to our podcast and it did not disappoint. She brings a lot of energy and insight into the RT world and it was fun conversing with her. Amanda is on staff at ⁠Hill Country Bible Church's counseling center⁠ which is an amazing group of people. They hosted this last April our ⁠Texas RT Gathering⁠ where Amanda brought out some of her sourdough baked goods for us to eat. We really enjoyed this conversation and covered a wide range of topics from Amanda's work with teenagers, to navigating anxiety and depression in our lives. I (Rhett) am also really envious that she gets to practice therapy in a really cool community there in the counseling center at Hill Country Bible Church -- what an amazing group of people they have. And we are really looking forward to more Texas gatherings and seeing (hopefully all of them) at the ⁠Restoration Therapy Summit⁠ in Malibu this March.
