Thank you for your podcasts and being ‘in your zone’. The latter half of the podcast really spoke to me - I am extremely goal orientated and also value my time, and I tend to get a lot done. A lot of my good friends laugh (kindly) about how I need to schedule relaxation time / time where I am not doing something. It was very validating to hear your story.
I find this interesting. However, as a child growing up in a house with many forms of DV, going to ‘family’ counselling was not helpful. My step father who was an abusive alcoholic agreed for his two older teenage children, my mother and myself, about 14 at the time, to go to counselling. However, I found, that I was the ‘only one’ actually trying to bring up the issues. Everyone else was afraid, and we got ‘stink eye’ from the Step father during these ‘discussions’. The time was spent mainly everyone disagreeing with a particular perspective of any one situation, only to achieve no real consensus about what ‘actually’ happened during ‘situations’ brought up in counselling, so nothing really moved forward. It last all of 6 sessions before we stopped going, as my Stepfather would chastise us about our comments or be aggressive and angry on returning home. This then turned into arguments between my parents, mainly about me and what I said, such as his violence towards my mother, intimidation of all of us kids and me physically having to rescue my mother from him and pull off of her to stop his actions. His attendance of counselling, wasn’t to help, but to appease my mother, which in the end only made it worse.
Also the notion that you have to wear a cardian as a therapist. Especially for females. But when you don't identify with that style, it feels uncomfortable
Question: when you spoke on Avoidant personality disorder, you mentioned to call 10 therapists and ask how they would treat it. In your opinion, what would be a good response of how they would go about treating them?
I love to hear more about histrionic disorder. I highly believe my ex roommate is histrionic. Knowing her for 9 years kinda left me with some trauma from her actions etc
1:17:20 The way your brain works is fascinating! I know this is an older episode but I'd love to hear more of this type of thing (how you save time with signatures)
I appreciate you and value your work especially in this difficult time I used to be a mental health worker but got disillusioned with it and want to be a therapist one day because I believe in what is possible 🤗🤗
Hi Dr. Kirk I would like to know what your wife thinks about you spending a lot of time on these online projects? I know she helps you. My partner works a lot and I miss having quality time with him.
Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted! 😄
