The River of Possibilities
The River of Possibilities By John Falcon
In "The River of Possibilities," John Falcon reflects on the challenges faced during times of chaos, drawing on a Navajo story about the importance of staying together to survive. He emphasizes the significance of human connection, both personally and professionally, particularly in the field of psychotherapy. Falcon advocates for a shift from a strictly evidence-based approach to a more scientifically informed and humanistic approach to therapy. He encourages his students to embrace the uncertainties of life, cultivate therapeutic alliances, and prioritize the well-being of clients through presence and attunement. Falcon also underscores the importance of being open to new innovations and perspectives in an ever-changing world.
