Episode 000 – About Joseph Tropper

Welcome to Mind Your Mind! My name is Joseph Tropper and it is so
nice to meet you! This podcast was designed with you in mind.
It’s meant to tackle the hottest topics of self-care and help you
take the best care of yourself. I want to help you get motivated,
deal with stress, and enhance your relationships.


Qualifications


To begin I would like to introduce myself and explain why I am
qualified to help you take the next step. I have 15 years of
experience as a life coach, hypnotherapist and licensed mental
health professional. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health
Counseling and have been in full time private practice as lead
therapist and director for the past 4 years. I’m a proud husband
and father and these two roles shape so much of my life
perspective. I have specialized training in couples counseling,
trauma (EMDR therapy) and anxiety and want to help you move
forward in life.


Why This Podcast?


Clients often ask if they can record my sessions. I am concerned
for their confidentiality as well as quality assurance. This
podcast gives me the opportunity to think over my thoughts, edit
them and make sure they are expressed in a clear and helpful
manner. Additionally, my aim is to impact and help as many people
as possible. While I find private practice extremely rewarding,
it takes much concentrated effort to impact the 30 to 50 clients
that I can work with at a time. This podcast can be listened to
by many people who can benefit from its practical advice. You can
listen in while you are going about your daily activities. I
especially encourage you to come here when you take your daily 30
minutes jog or walk!

Human Strength and Vulnerability


I want to share with you a poem that is very dear to me. I wrote
it as a summary about the work that I do with myself and with my

the background picture myself while on vacation with my wife and
