In this discussion, Benji Schoendorff and Angela Cathey discuss the ways in which our awareness and verbal behavior create or transform our contexts. Benji is renowned for his ability to track contingencies in flight and to communicate his deep behavior analytic knowledge into easy to understand metaphors and language.
