Follow Proof of Coverage Media: https://x.com/Proof_CoverageConnor and co-host James Lovely, an expert in structured financial products, welcome Brandon Goh, CEO and Co-founder of Treehouse Finance, to explore the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Goh shares his journey from Morgan Stanley to crypto, discussing how innovations like Uniswap reshaped his perspective. The conversation covers risk and return in borrowing rates, Ethereum's proof-of-stake system as a crypto equivalent to the risk-free rate, and the differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin. Goh introduces Treehouse's T-Asset product, which enhances liquid staking yields through arbitrage strategies, and highlights the importance of decentralized benchmark rates like the Decentralized Offered Rate (D.O.R). They also examine risks such as rehypothecation and the need for reliable data in DeFi, concluding with a discussion on institutional adoption and the infrastructure required for its growth.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction03:09 - Brandon's Transition from TradFi to Crypto05:12 - Core Concepts of Borrowing Rates in TradFi07:59 - On-Chain Rates and Their Implications09:05 - Comparing Bitcoin and Ethereum as Risk-Free Rates12:22 - Staking Yield as a Risk-Free Rate Analogy14:08 - Liquid Staking Explained21:34 - Treehouse's T-Asset Product Overview23:46 - Decentralized Finance and Risk Considerations29:30 - Institutional Involvement in DeFi31:12 - Expanding to Other Chains and Market Strategy32:34 - Introduction to Decentralized Offered Rates (DOR)41:34 - Building a Decentralized Benchmark Rate48:09 - Incentives and Accuracy in the DOR FrameworkDisclaimer: The hosts and the firms they represent may hold stakes in the companies mentioned in this podcast.

Check out The Link.AI Consulting at https://agentic.constructionConnect with Hugh on LinkedinHere's a shorter briefing based on the same informationExecutive Summary:Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), announced in late November 2024, is an open protocol designed to standardize how AI systems interact with external data sources and tools. It aims to overcome the current fragmented landscape of AI integration, where bespoke solutions are often required for each new connection. MCP establishes a universal framework for communication, simplifying development, enhancing AI agent effectiveness through improved context and tool access, and fostering a vibrant ecosystem of AI capabilities. By utilizing a client-server architecture and defining key primitives for data and action exchange, MCP offers a more dynamic and context-aware approach compared to traditional REST APIs. The emergence of MCP registries and marketplaces like smithery.ai further signifies its potential to transform the future of AI by enabling more interconnected, adaptable, and powerful AI systems.Key Themes and Important Ideas/Facts:1. Addressing the Challenges of AI Integration:The current method of integrating AI models with external resources is often complex and requires custom solutions for each connection. "When building AI applications today, each project frequently requires unique, bespoke solutions for how AI processes are constructed and how they connect with necessary data resources." (Introduction)This leads to significant development and maintenance burdens.MCP aims to solve this by providing a universal, open standard for connecting AI systems with data sources and tools. "MCP offers a unified solution to this problem by providing a universal, open standard for connecting AI systems with data sources, effectively replacing these fragmented integrations with a single, consistent protocol." (Introduction)The motivation is to overcome the limitations of isolated AI models "trapped behind information silos and legacy systems." (Introduction, citing source 2)MCP addresses the "MxN problem" by transforming it into an "N plus M setup," where each model and tool only needs to conform to the standard once. "Without a standardized protocol, this results in a complex web of M multiplied by N individual integrations... MCP's approach transforms this into a much simpler N plus M setup, where each tool and each model only needs to conform to the MCP standard once..." (Introduction, citing source 3)By open-sourcing MCP, Anthropic intends to foster collaboration and a shared ecosystem.2. Core Concepts of MCP:Client-Server Architecture: MCP is built on this established pattern. "At its core, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is built upon a client-server architecture, a well-established design pattern in computing, to facilitate the connection between AI models and external resources." (Core Concepts)Host: The AI-powered application or agent environment the user interacts with (e.g., Claude desktop app, IDE plugin). "The Host is the AI-powered application or agent environment that the end-user directly interacts with." (Core Concepts) It can connect to multiple MCP servers and manages client permissions.Client: An intermediary within the Host that manages the connection to a single MCP server, maintaining a one-to-one link. "The Client acts as an intermediary within the Host, responsible for managing the connection to a single MCP server." (Core Concepts) It handles communication lifecycle and maintains stateful sessions.Server: An external program that implements MCP and provides capabilities (tools, data, prompts) for a specific domain (e.g., databases, cloud services). "The Server is a program, typically external to the AI model itself, that implements the MCP standard and provides a specific set of capabilities." (Core Concepts) Anthropic and the community have released servers for Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Postgres, SQLite, and web browsing.This architecture is likened to a "USB port" for AI. "This client-server architecture, often likened to a 'USB port' for AI applications, provides a standardized way for AI assistants to 'plug into' any data source or service without requiring custom code for each connection." (Core Concepts, citing source 3)3. MCP vs. REST APIs for AI Agents:Limitations of REST APIs: Require significant manual effort, lack standardized context management, often stateless, static API definitions. "Integrating AI agents with external services via REST APIs often requires significant manual effort and lacks a standardized way to manage the evolving context of agent interactions." (MCP vs. REST APIs for AI Agents)Advantages of MCP:Standardized Communication: Based on JSON-RPC, simplifying integration.Dynamic Tool Discovery: AI can query servers to understand available tools. "AI models equipped with an MCP client can query connected servers to understand the tools and resources they offer." (MCP vs. REST APIs for AI Agents)Two-Way Real-Time Interaction: Supports persistent connections for context updates.Superior Approach Scenarios: Complex workflows with multiple tools, real-time data integration, frequently changing toolsets, intelligent assistants, automated coding tools, dynamic data analytics.4. Enhancing AI Agent Effectiveness:Improved Contextual Awareness and Management: MCP allows agents to access and retain relevant context from multiple sources, overcoming context window limitations. "One of the most significant ways in which the Model Context Protocol enhances the effectiveness of AI agents is by enabling improved contextual awareness and management." (Enhancing AI Agent Effectiveness)The ability to connect to multiple servers simultaneously supports complex workflows.The "Resources" primitive provides just-in-time, modular context, leading to more efficient processing and accurate responses.Facilitating Seamless Integration: MCP eliminates the need for custom code for each new data source or tool. "By providing a standardized interface, MCP eliminates the need for developers to write custom code for each new data source or tool that an AI agent needs to interact with." (Enhancing AI Agent Effectiveness)Pre-built servers for popular systems (Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, databases) streamline integration.Supporting Advanced Reasoning and Decision-Making: The "Tools" primitive allows agents to invoke functions and access real-time data.The "Sampling" primitive enables complex, multi-step reasoning processes (with recommended human approval).Real-World Examples:Corporate chatbots querying multiple internal systems.AI-powered coding assistants (Sourcegraph Cody, Zed Editor) accessing codebases.Anthropic's Claude Desktop accessing local files. "By integrating MCP, Claude can securely access local files, applications, and services on the user's computer." (Enhancing AI Agent Effectiveness)AI2SQL generating SQL from natural language.Apify allowing AI agents to access Apify Actors for automation.5. Driving Adoption for AI Tool Providers:Standardized Integration: Reduces the complexity and costs of developing and maintaining multiple custom integrations. "By providing a single, open standard for connecting AI models with tools, MCP reduces the need for tool providers to develop and maintain multiple custom integrations tailored to different AI platforms." (Driving Adoption for AI Tool Providers)Increased Interoperability: Tools can work with any MCP-compatible AI model, broadening the potential user base and reducing vendor lock-in. "Tools built using the MCP standard can seamlessly work with any AI model that has implemented an MCP client, regardless of the AI provider (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) or whether it's an open-source model." (Driving Adoption for AI Tool Providers)Opportunities for Innovation and Specialization: Enables developers to create specialized servers that can be accessed by any MCP client, fostering a division of labor.Benefits for Scalability and Future-Proofing: Ensures integrations remain compatible with future AI models adhering to the standard.6. Real-World Use Cases and Examples of MCP Implementation (Detailed):Coding Assistants: Sourcegraph Cody and Zed Editor.Enterprise Integrations: Block and Apollo. "Companies like Block and Apollo have adopted MCP to securely connect their AI systems with internal data repositories and customer relationship management (CRM) systems." (Real-World Use Cases and Examples of MCP Implementation)Desktop AI Applications: Anthropic's Claude Desktop.Data Querying Tools: AI2SQL.Automation Platforms: Apify.Community-Built Servers: Numerous servers on platforms like Smithery.ai and mcp-get.com for databases, cloud services, etc.7. Future Implications and the Evolving AI Ecosystem:Fostering Interoperability and Standardization: MCP has the potential to become a universal standard for AI integration. "By establishing a universal standard for AI integration, MCP could become the equivalent of HTTP for the web or USB-C for device connectivity in the AI world." (Future Implications and the Evolving AI Ecosystem)Could decouple AI model choice from underlying integrations.Potential Impact on AI R&D and Deployment: May shift focus towards effective utilization of external information over solely increasing model size. Could lead to more modular AI system designs.Addressing Potential Challenges: Requires buy-in from AI providers and tool developers. Security is paramount. Ensuring user trust and human oversight are crucial. "Security is another paramount concern. Allowing AI agents to access and interact with external systems, especially sensitive enterprise data, necessitates robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access or data leaks." (Future Implications and the Evolving AI Ecosystem)Conclusion:MCP offers a promising path towards a more interconnected, context-aware, and effective AI ecosystem. Its standardized framework addresses critical integration challenges, enhances AI agent capabilities, and provides new opportunities for tool providers and the broader AI community. While adoption challenges exist, the potential transformative impact of MCP on the future of AI is significant.

Your past doesn't define you—unless you let it. In this episode, Hilary Silver serves up a reality check with core concept number four of her self-centered model: identity is a choice. That's right—who you are isn't carved in stone, no matter what your childhood, parents, or society told you. For too long, you've been letting outdated beliefs and hand-me-down narratives dictate your life. It's time to rip up that old script and write a new one where YOU call the shots. Whether you're 40, 50, or 60, it's never too late to hop off the train of old beliefs and step into a new self-concept. And she's living proof, sharing how she went from therapist to boss, business owner and beyond by redefining who she was—and who she wanted to be. If you're ready to get off that tired train of self-doubt and step into the CEO role of your life, this episode is for you. And trust us, it's about to get personal, empowering, and a little uncomfortable—in the best way possible. Episode Highlights: Your identity isn't fixed—why it's time to stop believing your own BS. How subconscious programming keeps you playing small (and how to smash it). The four truths about identity that will change how you see yourself forever. Hilary's mic-drop moments: from small-town therapist to global powerhouse. A challenge to rewrite your identity starting TODAY. Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Introduction to Identity Formation [01:03] Subconscious Programming [01:34] Core Concept #4: Identity is a Choice [03:01] Focus on Identity [03:22] Four Key Points on Identity [03:32] Point 1: Expectations Shape Reality [03:43] Point 2: Identity Beyond Labels [04:04] Point 3: Beliefs are Not Facts [04:37] Point 4: Identity Work as a Gateway [06:11] Expanding Identity for Growth [07:04] Challenge: Questioning Beliefs Stop letting old stories run your life.

We've been told that putting others first is the hallmark of a good person, but what if that's a big, fat lie? In this episode, Hilary Silver tackles the myth of selflessness head-on, revealing how this deeply ingrained belief isn't just harmful—it's downright toxic. Drawing on her decades of experience as a psychotherapist and lifestyle mentor, Hilary introduces the third core concept of her self-centered model: "In your life, you come first and you go first." Hilary explains how the pressure to be selfless erodes self-worth, breeds resentment, and creates hollow, transactional relationships. She challenges the narrative that sacrificing yourself for others is noble, exposing how it leads to emotional burnout and a lifetime of feeling undervalued. Instead, Hilary offers a liberating alternative: prioritize yourself unapologetically. Because when you treat yourself with the respect and care you deserve, you teach others to do the same. Episode Highlights: Why “selflessness” is a toxic myth keeping you stuck and resentful. How putting yourself first is the most selfless thing you can do. The real reason self-sacrifice leaves you exhausted and undervalued. Healthy giving vs. soul-sucking selflessness—know the difference. Why modeling self-respect is the ultimate relationship game-changer. The mindset shift that puts you back in control of your life. Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Introduction [00:53] Meet Hillary Silver [01:57] The Myth of Selflessness [02:28] The Big Lie [04:15] Consequences of Selflessness [05:57] The Void and Compulsion to Give [06:33] Resentment and Transactional Relationships [07:05] Self-Serving Giving [08:40] Healthy Giving vs. Selflessness [09:12] Core Concept #3: You Come First [12:54] Conclusion Stop putting yourself last—it's time to take the lead.

Have you ever felt like something was wrong with your body, P u s s y, or sexuality because it seemed so hard to get turned on or connect with your desire? If so, this episode will leave you feeling deeply seen and heard, offering relief in knowing that nothing is broken within you. Much of what we've been taught about sex through movies, porn, and the media is rooted in the male paradigm of sexuality - which can make it easy to feel like something is wrong if we aren't quickly turned on. That's why, in this episode, Jenny breaks down the female paradigm of sexuality - a way of experiencing desire that's always changing, flowing, and deeply connected to your body's cycles. Join us as Jenny shares six core concepts to turn P u s s y ON and explains how these principles are essential for reclaiming your pleasure, healing sexual shame, and unlocking the infinite pleasure that P u s s y holds. She dives deep into topics like how P u s s y is made up of erectile tissue, the power of exploring fetishes, and why penetration should only happen when P u s s y is fully ready. Tune in to learn how P u s s y's unique turn-on process operates and discover juicy tools + potent practices to connect with your body's wisdom and pleasure potential. Topics include: Safety as the foundation of pleasure Ancestral trauma & sexual shame The role of yin energy in feminine arousal Erotic blueprints, love languages, and self-pleasure practices Spontaneous desire vs responsive desire Erogenous zones, emotional connection, & hormonal cycles Menopause and sexual awakening Fantasy, fetishes, kink exploration, and consent Book a complimentary call with Jenny to explore your desires and the blocks + challenges that may be coming up for you.: [calendly.com/jennybraxton/p-queen-activation-call] Do you desire to go from feeling disconnected in your body to experiencing deep pleasure and empowerment?

Did you know there is a psychological approach to treating OCD that DOESN'T focus on preventing compulsions?To mark OCD Awareness Week, I am joined by Amanda Petrik-Gardner, a licensed clinical professional counsellor specializing in inference-based CBT (iCBT). We discuss the principles of iCBT, which differs from the traditional exposure and response prevention (ERP) approach. Instead, iCBT focuses on the reasoning process behind obsessional doubts rather than stopping compulsions. Our conversation highlights the concept of inferential confusion and the feared possible self, aiming to restore trust in the individual's real self. The conversation provides insights into the practical aspects of iCBT therapy, valuable insights into this purely cognitive approach that seeks to resolve the roots of obsessive doubt. Highlights of the episode include:03:10 What is iCBT?04:02 Core Concepts of iCBT07:30 Research and Evidence for iCBT09:03 Inferential Confusion Explained12:39 Components Leading to Inferential Confusion18:34 The Feared Possible SelfThis week's guest:Amanda Petrik-Gardner, LCPC, LPC, LIMHP specialises in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders.

Conceptual papers that offer new theories are hard to write and even harder to publish. You do not have empirical data to back up your arguments, which makes the papers easy to reject in the review cycle. We are also typically not well trained in theorizing, and there isn't even a clear process to theorizing we could learn or follow. Does that mean that we shouldn't even try to write theory papers? We ponder these questions, figure out what is so hard in writing conceptual papers – and share a few tricks that might help if you still wanted to write such a paper.

In this talk, Rev Lee discusses that at its core, Oneness means that there is only one Life, one Energy, one Power in the universe. This power goes by many names—God, Spirit, Universal Mind, or Infinite Intelligence—but at its essence, it is all the same. It is the creative force from which everything emerges, and it is present in all things.

Get an early bird discount by July 1st when you join the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Full Year program! The full transcript of this announcement is below. ---- Hey there, it's Angela, I just wanted to release a quick announcement letting you know that our 40 Hour Workweek programs are now open for early bird access for the 2024-2025 school year! I'm going to share the updates first for those who are already familiar with 40 Hour or have enrolled in the past. If you're brand new and have no idea what 40 Hour is, keep listening to the end, and I'll fill you in. We're releasing a brand new membership called 40 Hour AI, which is designed to help you integrate artificial intelligence tools into your workflows to make teaching more effective and efficient. It's for folks who are worried about the ethics of generative AI and don't want to just dive in and hope everything works out. And it's for folks who have tried GPT, but felt like they had to rework the output so much they might as well have written from scratch. (I get that–if you don't know how to use AI well, it can actually take more time than writing something yourself.) It's also designed for teachers who like using AI but feel overwhelmed with all the possibilities. I get emails from all the Ai tools designed for educators and it feels like they release 10 new features every single week. If you're working full-time in the classroom, there's no possible way to keep up with all of that on top of everything else. The curation piece is where I come in. It's my job to shorten that steep learning curve, so AI can become like your own personal teaching assistant right away. 40 Hour AI is a brand new (and ever-growing) collection of video trainings to help you feel confident about using artificial intelligence to streamline your workload in an ethical, responsible way: ✅ Watch the on-demand trainings that show you only what you NEED to know to trim hours off your workweek. The foundational videos have no fluff or filler, and will help you quickly learn the basics of AI, an overview of the free AI tools available to teachers, and the ethical considerations. ✅ Learn to incorporate AI into your existing work habits so it's your go-to tool instead of an afterthought (without having to completely change systems that already work well for you). ✅ Utilize the ever-growing collection of 5 minute timesaver how-to's anytime you feel stuck on how to complete a teaching task with AI. You'll know exactly which AI tool to use and how to get the results you want. The downloadable prompt resources will help you phrase your request for great AI output on rubrics, SMART goals, lesson plan ideas, text differentiation, and more. ✅ Discover new AI tools and uses that have been vetted by knowledgeable educators so you don't have to spend hours on trial-and-error. You won't have to look anywhere else to feel up-to-date: new video trainings are added on a monthly basis so you always have the most recent information. I'm creating some of these myself, and others will be shared with you directly from our 40 Hour graduates who are current classroom teachers. They'll show you exactly how they're using AI everyday to save time. ✅ Use the private discussion community to stay updated even if you don't have time to watch training videos. It's held within the membership site (not on social media), and you can stay in the loop and ask questions there anytime. As always with my resources, the goal is to help you avoid overwhelm and cut through the noise. You don't need to know EVERYTHING that's possible with AI up front. (Who has time for that?) You just need the MOST impactful ways to streamline your teaching workload now, and a way to quickly get answers when you need help with a task. A free year's unlimited access pass to 40 Hour AI is included when you enroll in the 40 Hour Full year program. I made the decision to do this because I'm going to be talking a lot about AI tools in the coming school year with the current 40 Hour Full Year cohort, and I didn't want some of the cohort to have access to the AI recommendations and some not have it. If you're not ready to explore AI tools like MagicSchool, Eduade, Brisk Teaching, and so on, you can just utilize the core 40 Hour Full Year materials, which don't discuss AI at all. I know some folks are apprehensive or just not interested in artificial intelligence, so I made the choice not to change the Full Year program, which doesn't mention AI. Full Year is focused on classic productivity and organizaitonal systems which generally stand the test of time. The awesome thing about keeping the AI materials in a separate membership is that I can update them frequently. The AI trainings are short videos around 5 minutes each, and other materials that I can quickly make changes to as the technology develops constantly. I know that making AI trainings for teachers is going to be a major undertaking with lots of work to keep everything current. I'm committed to do that–to staying on top of the trends and dvelopemnets and curating them for you so you don't have to explore everything yourself or feel overwhelmed with constant changes. I'm weeding through everything that's out there and finding only the best stuff and the most effective, efficient ways to streamline your workload. The way I chose to set up 40 Hour AI is as a membership rather than forever-access like the rest of my courses, including the 40 Hour Full Year program. If I can be really real with you…I've crunched the numbers, and it just isn't financially viable for me to offer them as a one-time payment for forever-access. So, 40 Hour AI is set up to allow you to purchase an unlimited access pass to all the trainings for $29/quarter or $89/year. I do have a discount code for folks who have taken other 40 Hour courses in the past, and those have been sent out via email (and will be sent again a couple of times, as well as listed in the 40 Hour course materials you have access to, so you can find it there if you missed the initial announcement.) To sum up so far: if you previously enrolled in our 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Full Year program, you get the unlimited access pass (quarterly or annual) for a discount. If you never enrolled in 40 Hour before, 40 Hour AI is open to you now, so you can start learning about artificial intelligence right away. You can just get the AI stuff is that's all you want. The other option for folks who have never joined the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Full Year program is to enroll with the latest cohort, and you'll get a free year's unlimited access pass to 40 Hour AI. As a podcast listener, I'm guessing you've heard me mention the program here on the podcast but maybe you've never gotten around to checking it out thoroughly with everything else going on. You might have assumed 40 Hour is for new teachers, or really disorganized people, or those who want to work ONLY their contractual hours. And it is–we have lots of members who fit one (or more) of those descriptions and find the solutions they need in 40 Hour. But, 40 Hour is also designed for experienced educators who are highly skilled at their craft, and questioning whether the increasing demands and pressure will allow them to stay until retirement. These members have witnessed so many changes to the profession that they barely recognize it from 10, 20, or 30 years ago. They need practical advice about how to make everything work (and support figuring out what they can realistically take off their plates.) It's also for folks who love organization and enjoy learning tips and hacks to be more efficient. These teachers join to make small tweaks to their existing systems, and collaborate with other like-minded educators to streamline even more and keep their teaching feeling fresh and creative. And, 40 Hour is for teachers who don't mind working a bit on their own time, but are tired of giving up ALL their evenings and weekends to do documentation, data collection, and other tasks that feel far-removed from helping kids. They want to do more meaningful work and less busywork. Also, some of our members know that working contractual hours isn't realistic in their personal situation, and they're just looking for ways to take 10 or so hours off their workweek. Others aren't paying attention to hours at all: they just want to feel more effective at their jobs and less frazzled and exhausted. It might seem impossible for one program to differentiate for alllll of these different needs, but… There's one thing all 40 Hour members have in common: They're educators who love the job and want to find a SUSTAINABLE approach, so they can stay in the field WITHOUT burning out. So, 40 Hour provides a broad range of tips, strategies, editable templates, and other resources so you can find ideas that work for YOU and your teaching context. Download only the resources that feel relevant and helpful to you each month, and take a few weeks to experiment with them. You can share ideas and troubleshoot with other members. You'll never lose access to the resources, so you can go back to anything you skipped in future years (or try out different ideas if you change grade levels or subject areas later on.) Because of the wide variety of materials, there really is SOMETHING for EVERY K-12 teacher in 40 Hour. And if you join and find that it's not a good fit, you can get a complete refund through Sept. 15th. There are 4 sets of summer planning bonuses included with 40 Hour Full Year which are all about using your summer to get rested and re-energized. You can use them to make a plan for everything you want/need to do during your break, create healthy habits, get organized at home, and more. But, you don't have to start right away. The cohort kicks off July 1st, but lots of members take a break from everything work-related over the summer, and then look at all the July and August materials for back-to-school when they're ready to begin planning. Start whenever it's most convenient for you! This is not a formal course. You don't have to “keep up” or submit any assignments to us (unless your district requires you to). Use 40 Hour as a resource and community to give you ideas and support for managing your workload. Check in whenever you'd like and see what's new. And, it's designed so you don't have to spend a lot of time learning in order to get results. You'll need about 30 minutes a month to explore the Core Concepts (most important ideas). You can either read the PDF or listen to the audio version. If you'd like, you can explore the 3 extension choices, but those are optional. You can create better systems and work habits just with the Core Concepts in 30 minutes a month. With 40 Hour Full Year, you never lose access to the materials and can come back to things you skipped anytime. Revisit the optional extension choices later in the year, or even in future years. This program is designed to help you throughout your teaching career, no matter what, where, or how you're teaching later on. And remember, as a special bonus when you join this year's cohort, you'll receive a FREE 365 day unlimited pass to our 40 Hour AI trainings. The short videos in 40 Hour AI will help you feel confident about using artificial intelligence in an ethical way to help you streamline differentiation, lesson planning, assessment, and more. So, if you teach K-12 general education, I'll hope you'll join us un 40 Hour Full Year or 40 Hour AI, or both! You can enroll on your own, and we accept school purchase orders, gift certificates, and DonorsChoose. 40 Hour Full Year is a professional development program worth up to 104 CEU hours, and will help you adapt and develop new pedagogies in the coming school year. Your job is changing: don't be afraid to ask for the support and training you deserve. So, that's the update on 40 Hour this summer. I'll be back on July 7 with a new Truth for Teachers podcast episode for you. Thanks for listening, and for supporting my work. 40 Hour Teacher Workweek 40 Hour AI

“What is it like to be a clinician with a patient who either comes because they're going to be dying or it happens in the treatment - what is it like for the clinician? It's lonely in a way because there is a lot of parallel with what the patient is going through. To me, and as a field, I would like to think we could talk about this and write about it. My peer group at the time was terribly important to me - colleagues, people that basically would be with me in this. But in the end I was the one that went alone to the service at the funeral home and I went to my patient's luncheon, not to have the lunch but to talk to the family, and then I left - I didn't stay for the lunch, I thought that might be a little intrusive. There's nothing really to read about, talk about, pick somebody's brain about how do they experience this in their work or I don't really understand why we've been so quiet about this in our work.” PW “You mentioned about being alone in it, and there is a way in which it's very true. I think a large part is that not many of our colleagues have had this experience. But on the flip side, maybe because I've worked with so many patients and I'm beginning to notice a certain consistency, but I've also had such an experience of close intimacy with these patients. There's a closeness that is to be had particularly in analytic work and work over time - but it happens quite quickly in the work with dying patients, and in that regard, I felt less alone in my work. In some ways in the rest of our work, because we maintain a careful distance in a way, a boundary with the patient, a frame - I feel with the dying patients, I feel like both of us are more in the room together.” MM Episode Description: We begin with acknowledging the tension that exists between the literal and metaphoric aspects of the analytic relationship and how that is highlighted in the face of physical illness in either party. We focus on patients' illnesses both as they present upon initial consultation and when they develop in the course of treatment. Mark describes his years of work with cancer patients, and Peggy shares her experience with an analysand who, in the 6th year of her treatment, developed a terminal illness. We consider the emotional challenges associated with making home visits, the meaning of 'boundaries', feelings associated with fees, and the shared experience of love between patient and analyst. We consider the ways that the analyst's affective intensity may also be associated with earlier and feared illnesses in their own life. We close with considering the difficulties that our field has in honestly communicating this aspect of the heart and soul of psychoanalysis.
