Going down the dame path over and over again just strengthens those neural pathways which will create a "path of least resistance" scenario that makes it more likely that the person will do more of the same.
It's good to vent, but it has to be followed up by a solution and action, otherwise you just form a habit of going to a miserable place mentally.
I dunno, I thought you talk about your problems and then the therapist helps you solve them 😅
Can you explain how any of this is better? Like things for our ancestors were so simple
So how does it work
It becomes you
Full video??
Hahaha I only got it the second time 😂
that being said….. ??
I think the people who vent about the same stuff over and over are trapped.
I’ve helped friends who have done that before. Usually there is something stopping them from moving forward. Often times it is really complicated, or it requires an uncomfortable moment like changing jobs or leaving an abusive loved one.
They’re processing but not in an efficient way because they want an easier, non existent solution. Venting does offer relief from their situation, though. It’s not productive but it does help and it can help them come up with strategies for next time.
wow, that’s what i really thought therapy is. Thank you for educating me brother 🙏
wheres the full video??
Which episode is ?
A good therapist will make sure you know that you have to work on making changes to achieve the desired effect of getting better. Mine had me do image exercises, where I closed my eyes and simulated a situation that caused me a lot of anxiety. He also suggested I get on medication for the extra support. It was very effective, and my life started improving almost immediately after starting therapy. I stopped going after some time because I felt that I had resolved my issues at the time, at least everything that was causing my life to stagnate.
Well, I have been to many therapists in my life but it mostly consisted of me talking and silence from the therapist.
What I would have needed was getting concrete life advices which I never got.
Work steps take action quit whining
If acceptance was a tool utilized in therapy more then psychotherapy wouldn’t last as long.
Is there a longer video on this? How should therapy work
Its somewhat scamish. Wben you go to the description link that says full video but it just leads you to his website. No video. I think you have to sign up first.
Should you have a REAL JOB instead of yapping over here??
That's me
If you have no partner or friends or family that understand you of course you are going to be somewhat emotionally needy to your therapist, the kind doctor seems that has a good support system whatever that is…I wish the same for all
Now it's my fault no one explains what must be done! If they explained to me the whys and hows, maybe I'd improve faster. >.<
Well when the world is as crap as it is today, of course it's the same shit, different day. Every day we get our own failures shoved in our face. And you expect us to change what we complain about when there's nothing we can do to fix it? Get real.
So how does it work dr K?
most men don,t take therapy seriously, because most of them dont even know why they depressed .
And that,s kinda sad
"I mean, really, how should we deal with these people, especially if she's one of your acquaintances?
You know she's been through a tough time, but they keep exhausting you over and over."
Original video link?
I quit on therapy when the last one I tried working with not only kept trying to blame me for his own mistakes or treated my perfectly natural reactions to some things he said or did as overreactions but also got angry when I pointed out that he clearly wasn't present in our phone sessions (this was Covid time and he was the one who suggested we switch from video to phone calls after the first session citing poor connectivity) and that I felt like I was talking to myself and just stumbling across a dark forest with no idea where I'm going. He yawned on several sessions and said it was perfectly normal while also saying he'd never do that to someone's face. That's how not present he was. But I've just met variations of that same ignorant, uneducated, arrogant garbage in human form even before him. Figured I don't need to spend money that is already barely there to be traumatised when people traumatise me for free all the time
This
This is not on the patient tho. We all know the real reason why people plateau is because most therapists are just not good.
Most just chose their career path in their early 20s and sticked to it because that's what you do even if they have no natural talent for it.
Most therapists are just people with good grades that were good at remembering stuff, not exactly the most empathetic people.
I hate how affiliate lonks cover subtitles
So what IS effective therapy then?
I hated talking about my problems in therapy but now I'm a lot better!
Nah, therapy is BS imo
So what is it?
So how does it work?
It’s because they are not sharing the actual problems
Therapy is supposed to make you aware of your flaws so you can start tackling them, to change your habits and become a better version of yourself. Sadly this realization only comes from years of working on yourself.
Therapists should be telling this to their clients, instead they allow the client to emotionally vent for many many months then the client gives up when nothing in their lives is improving.
Oh hey, thanks for not telling me how it actually does work
Therapy is a scam. $$$$
I would like to listen more of him. Can’t find his name. Thanks.
Idk if this will be helpful but I want to ask here for advice… I have a friend who I go to therapy (group therapy. We're all like, friends I guess) and tbh I think he might be depressed since he's not doing anything and he really just doesn't care about what to do in life. Is like he doesn't think about his future. Today as always he said he didn't do anything for the week and I tried to say "what did you eat" and all… I know is not my responsibility but what can I do?
