Have him on
Christian is a good guest for the same reason he is a good clinician. He does not perform expertise from altitude, he says the thing plainly, and he is comfortable being asked a question he has to think about on air.

A short list on purpose. Christian spent those years in the room rather than in front of a microphone. That is changing as the book comes together, and early shows get an easy yes.

Bio, 75 words
Christian J. Charette is a licensed marriage and family therapist, writer, and speaker who works at the intersection of clinical practice, integrative psychology, and the question of how we know what we know about other people. Over twenty years and more than 5,000 clients, he watched couples grow fluent in the language of healing while staying stuck in the patterns it described. His forthcoming book, The Map Is Not the Territory, is the framework he built in response.
