13. Savoring the Delicious Moments: Nurturing Personal and Professional Growth with Alex Castro Croy

Jun 1, 2023

Joining me today in this delicious depth discussion is Alex Castro Croy, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addictions counselor. He shares how important it is to savor and appreciate the delicious moments in life as it provides inspiration, motivation and a sense of purpose. And how acknowledging the humanness of both clients and therapists can help pave the way for an open and honest therapeutic relationship with the client.



“But I think it's super important to also celebrate and share the delicious moments, because those are the peaks. Those are the moments where, you know, maybe I'm going through a valley right now and your delicious share is going to eat and resonate with what I need to what I need to hear right now. I really encourage this a lot with clinicians and professionals, coaches, when we get together with our soul tribe with those individuals that we trust, and we can be open and vulnerable with. Let's have some delicious time.” - Alex Castro-Croy
