Co-led by Ben Yalom, director and co-author of *Hour of the Heart* (written with his father, Dr. Irvin Yalom), and Robert Rees, psychotherapist and Director of The Grove, the conversation held space for honesty, humour, complexity, and connection.

Therapy isn't just something we offer—it's something we live. Over time, the tools we use in the room begin to shape the way we move through the world: how we listen, how we respond, how we pause before reacting, how we hold space for others—and for ourselves.
In this honest and intimate conversation, Robert Rees, Ben Yalom, and Elliot Davis explore how the practices we teach become the quiet foundations of our own growth. From cultivating stillness to navigating triggers, this session is an invitation to reflect on what happens when therapy tools move from theory into everyday life—and change us along the way.
