Well there happen to be other "magical" RRT therapists out there. One is Ms. Melinda Paige. She's the reason I have my own little section on the RRT monthly newsletter (to do with as I pretty much please...scary to give me that much power) and now Melinda has gone and done it again.
But let me back up a tad to better explain this so called magic. RRT therapists are like sculptors. A sculptor sees now only the block of marble but the statue that it will become. We, as RRT therapists, see our client not only as they are in front of us but as they will be when they leave our office cleared and feeling excited and peaceful. Thus there are times that very particular situations I can "see" arising for my clients and I have just found it beneficial to them to tell them those things. So a few months ago Melinda says to me you need to just write an article for the RRT newsletter each month. (OK she didn't really SAY it to me this was all e-mail communication...) And I was like oh that would be cool, get more chances to write, about something I love, and thus get people motivated to give RRT a chance. (PS if you click on the link to the newsletter and then to the newsletter THAT'S Melinda and Jon in the front page picture)
Well today I actually TALKED to Melinda, I had e-mailed her wanted to just consult with her about some work related things. And as we are talking we start discussing the Level III RRT training this year and how great it is that we have some additional trainings available...and what does Melinda say to me? Well Tara what kind of workshop are you going to offer at a Level III training? I just laughed it off, and was like yeah whatever. However a facet of my mind was like "Hey you have like a year to get your butt in gear and make this happen. Let's consider this." Let's face it, I like to be the center of attention, I like applause and I love being a coach/consultant. (Not as much as I love being an RRT therapist though)
So my day goes on and I do what it is that I do as a Mom...blah blah blah. My darling husband gets home, we watch some TV and when it's all done I tell him about my conversation with Ms. Melinda. He looks at me and says: "Well you have a year to figure it out. You need to consider this. This is something you can do." And I'm saying, to myself mind you- Yeah right?! What do I have to offer? I don't have some specialty niche in RRT. But I'll consider it.
Then I go to bed. And when does my little friend the creativity fairy like to come? Between the hours of 10pm and 1130pm CST. Boy did she drop one on me. I've got it. It's something that Melinda "laid in my lap" several months ago. Even before the hey you need to write an article every month...
So for now I'm gonna keep my "workshop" under wraps. I need to get the kinks all worked out and make sure I'm not going to be stepping on any toes along the way. But the fact is what I think I need to do for a workshop people are already asking me to help teach them now...Makes sense.
Now I just have to find out what Melinda's fees are for all her managing and PR work she does for me!
In the mean time though- Rapid Resolution Therapy ROCKS and I'm so glad I found this new path for myself, personally and professionally!
Be well, Be happy- Tara S. Dickherber, M.Ed, CPC
