Benjamin noticed that many of his clients all seemed to struggle with the same problem, which was a dissatisfaction in their intrapersonal experience. Clients often just really didn't like themselves. Through hundreds of therapy sessions, Benjamin started to noticed that the common cause of so many of his client's problems were rooted in two things:1. People couldn't articulate what they valued about their experience with themselves.2. People's day-to-day behaviors were severely disconnected from a personal value system. From this realization Benjamin conceptualized that we all live out our experiences in the following 8 Domains:1) Physical2) Emotional/Mental3) Spiritual/Inspirational4) Relational5) Marital/Romantic6) Vocational7) Financial8) RecreationalFor the last 4 years, Benjamin has been helping clients discover and articulate the values they hold for themselves in each of these domains. Once those values are clear, he then works with his clients on a process of trial and error toward arriving at a set of investment strategies that help the client achieve congruence with their values. The end result:Clients know themselves more fully, therefore, they can show up for themselves or effectively.This podcast aims to bring these types of conversations to our viewers eyes, ears and minds and our hope is that more and more people will gain access to a higher quality relationship to themselves.
