It is unimaginable to think about the problems of the past such as the Stolen Generation and the struggles of land right recognition, but this exactly what we must imagine and acknowledge. His story of finding his place in Australia is a true story of courage and conviction.

It is always surprising when you chat quietly and learn about someone's history. Also, see below about his charity climb of Mount Kilimanjaro!

Philip is a tireless worker and advocate for the profession of psychotherapy, but thinking of him as just an administrator denies a rich and testing past.

It is intriguing to hear how his military life and his work repatriating servicemen and their families after they returned home was a direct influence on his journey into the counselling profession. He also discusses his efforts now as CEO of the Australian Counsellors Association and how he thinks counsellors need to respond to the upcoming challenges of the profession.

Most importantly - hear about his plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Cancer Research.

Our discussion covers so many interesting topics and includes several of the images from the book. We are able to see the images in color and to hear Terry's deep and rich description.

Terry puts the topic of intuition front and center again as a reasonable and, in fact, essential element of therapeutic practice. As much as the 'left brain' can make sense of such a expansive subject, Terry Marks-Tarlow has done it as well as is possible. She leaves the practitioner with a much clearer grasp of the intuitive process and how to use this to beneficial effect in practice. Learn more about Terry at www.markstarlow.com
