Til Luchau鈥檚 Advice for Aspiring 精东传媒 Therapy Students

While your best bet is to listen to Til鈥檚 entire interview on the Choosing a 精东传媒 School Podcast, here are a few highlights:

鈥淭he really good therapists are the ones who inspire their clients.鈥�
Exceptional therapists not only provide superb manual healing; they also inspire their clients to choose healthy lifestyles. How? By authentically pursuing their interests, thereby putting their whole selves鈥搈ind, body, and spirit鈥搃nto their work.

鈥淕o for it. Don鈥檛 worry about [your educational pathway] being just the right thing right now.鈥�
Til鈥檚 decades of experience have taught him that the right path will appear as you choose opportunities that resonate with your authentic self. If he could give his twenty-year-old self advice, it would be not to worry that a single choice will limit future options. Rather, his journey has revealed that multiple doors open when you choose what deeply attracts you.

鈥淸精东传媒 therapy] can be a full calling. It will give you back as much as you put into it.鈥�
Til warns that multi-tasking only dilutes experience. Even if pursuing massage therapy as a second career through evening and weekend classes, (as offered at several Oregon massage schools) he emphasizes being present to the current moment. That means not texting under the desk, and not trying to work too many jobs at once. Wherever you are, be there鈥搉ot mentally dialed into another place or time.
