Then in 'Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Jonathan Drury about the Autism Dialogue Approach - examining neurodiversity, communication, and how therapists can work more collaboratively and equitably. And finally in 'Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss managing anxiety about counselling training - normalising the experience and offering strategies to navigate it. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/counselling-tutor-podcast-217505/episodes/374-ai-and-the-therapeutic-relationship/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/counselling-tutor-podcast-217505/374-ai-and-the-therapeutic-relationship.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
