Jake Ernst on Motivation, Habits & Creating New Rhythms

Jake Ernst, MSW RSW is a social worker, psychotherapist and clinical director of StraightUp Health in Toronto, Ontario who says he "gets paid to listen well" and happens to love hearing others share their stories. This was a super fun interview for The Therapist in Training as she and Jake discuss the intersection of positive psychology and mental health professions, the importance of embracing a variety of therapy roles and modalities, an itty-bit of brain science and the fact that motivation and habit formation are NOT SO clear cut because (shocker) we are complex beings.
