On the semi-frequently-rare occasion that there is a fifth Tuesday in a calendar month, Iridescent opens up our weekly virtual staff meeting to the larger therapeutic community. July's Fifth Tuesday is designed to give you a peek behind the curtain of our collective brains and conversations within our meetings.

Ever wanted to better understand how our membership model works, or wanna learn about our new 1099 and supervision openings? Got a crunchy clinical case that you'd love an open-minded perspective on? Have questions or ideas to share about your solo or group practice dreams? Just wanna meet some other cool therapists and chill for an hour?

A round-robin reading where local authors will take turns reading from their works.

From fantasy to sci-fi, anime to romance, and Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean to Marcus Cole of Babylon 5, the appeal of rogues is omnipresent. What is it that we find so fundamentally appealing about them, and why do people genuinely look to the rule-breakers for heroism in fiction?

tl;DR: Please come talk to me about religion and/or spirituality. I'm learning even moar about getting good at this, and I *love* helping clients figure out how their beliefs fit into their lives.

I completed 2 hours of "Integrating Spiritual Assessments throughout Client Care," part of a 6-month monthly series I'm doing on "Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy" via the Solihten Institute. It was good and I'm enjoying the series overall. I got some useful content for my interest in expanding my practice in this direction.

I even enjoyed the breakout discussion, which I often find tedious. Tried to hold to the principle that as an Outgoing Extravert, I'm doing the Shy and/or Introverts a favor when I (1) leave space for them but also (2) take up some of the space they obviously don't want.

And I got good feedback from the instructor both in the large group and the breakout, which obviously was helpful Oxytocin for me.
