| Douglas Green—September Membership Meeting Write-Up It Happened! After two and a half years, SFV-CAMFT at last restarted in-person meetings. In this case, the September, 2022 chapter meeting was a hybrid of in-person and virtual attendees. As anyone could have predicted (and as far as I could tell, everyone did!) there were enormous difficulties in setting it up and a few technical glitches persisting through the meeting.

| Charlyne Gelt—Cinema Therapy: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris “Clothes,” as the expression goes, “make the man.” Clothes also make the women — more-so, in fact, since women are said to spend three times more than men spend on their clothing. Many movies have been made about the fashion industry, from The Devil Wears Prada and Phantom Thread to Ready-to-Wear. Now, we have the delightful 2022 British remake . . .

| Lynne Azpeitia—The Secret to Ongoing Referrals & Keeping Your Practice Full “I wish I'd thought about networking this way from the very beginning.” Building a referral network of trusted providers to refer clients to for adjunct services has turned out to be one of the best ways a therapist can keep their practice full — and it’s a sustainable strategy. Maybe you’ll think it’s obvious advice or too good to be true but going about creating a list of people you want to refer your clients to when they can benefit from adjunctive services is how many therapists successfully market their practice, network, and receive the ongoing referrals that keep their practice full.

| John Porterfield, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist The possibility of self-realization is built on the foundation we have laid in the first half of life. Our society devotes much preparation of its youth for the first half of life in terms of education, training, and the clearly expressed expectations that success is to create deep roots in career, in relationship through marriage and the creation and rearing of a family. This has allowed our world to develop great civilizations, which allow us to coexist . . . Read John’s full article |

| Sue Cristol, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist When we enter into a relationship with a client, it will become clear within a short amount of time how much insight they have. Perhaps there is some confusion that needs to be sorted out. It could be that a specific relationship or stage of life issue is the impetus that drove the client to seek help at this time.
