Had fun in this conversation:
In this episode of All Power to the Developing, Desire Wandan sits down with Dr. Chris Hoff, a narrative therapist, educator, author, and host of The Radical Therapist podcast. We get to know Chris and the journey that brought him to this work, while exploring the ideas that continue to shape his practice. Chris introduces us to narrative therapy and its unique way of relating to people, problems, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Together, they explore identity, relationships, radical helping, imagination, and what becomes possible when we challenge the stories we've inherited and create new ones together.
It's a conversation about who Chris Hoff is, how he came to this work, and how changing our relationship to our stories might help us create new possibilities for ourselves and our communities.

Check out the most unique and thought - provoking advice column there is:

These few words capture what I’m about as a developmentalist. Fred Newman and I first coined the phrase as the title of an article we wrote in 2003 which shared our view that everyone has to grow / develop / transform / become other than who we are now, if we’re to create a better world for all.
