Connected Conversations: Psychotherapy and the Alexander Technique
In this episode, Marcus James—AT teacher and psychotherapist—joins Lesley Glover to discuss how these two disciplines intersect and inform each other. Their conversation touches on working with emotion in an AT context, the overlap between AT and body-focused therapies, and how Marcus draws from both fields in his approach to teaching and care.
