Are the events in this chronology connected?
Early November 2013: The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) aired a program called "Plastic Healers" which included a portrayal of Psychology of Vision and Chuck and Lency Spezzano as unprofessional participants of ethnocide on Haida Gwaii. In the broadcast even a devotee of a rival New Age healer denounced POV as having no follow-up or sense of caring for the damage they created.
The host of the program said of Psychology of Vision: "Despite the name, neither of the two who run it are psychologists."
Rob Smith, the journalist who covered this story added: "The Spezzanos have a troubled past. In 2004 the State of Hawaii rapped Chuck Spezzano's knuckles for working as a psychologist without a state license. This was for his part in a controversial child custody case. Spezzano swore in an affidavit the father was unfit. The problem is he's never been licensed to practice psychology in Hawaii. And still isn't."
This is reinforced by a telephone comment from Chuck Spezzano aired on the program. When asked by Smith if he considered himself a psychologist, Chuck Spezzano replied, "No, Robert, I don't. I consider myself a coach."

Is there any evidence of Lency announcing her pulling back from foreign travel prior to the APTN Investigates expose?

As I recall, Chuck was very condescending in his tone when he uttered the phrase about being a "coach."
The APTN Investigates coverage of Erick Gonzalez and Chuck & Lency Spezzano was a major turning point in the POV saga. It interests me that Lency never mentioned APTN in her long multi-part online defense "The Truth About Chuck and Lency Spezzano and the Psychology of Vision."
Lency has recently apparently agreed to visit Phuket with Chuck, thus returning to foreign travel.
Given the massive amount of marketing that LIES and calls Chuck a "psychologist," I think the reporter can be forgiven asking the question when Spezzano got all huffy.
Lency was not telling the truth when she announced 2014 was her final year of giving workshops abroad. To the Spezzanos, lying is simply a tool used in marketing strategy.
