    People need to realize that therapy isn't going in and your therapist telling you that "everything will be alright", then you're gonna be cured after 12 sessions of hearing that. You have to put in work. Heavy emotional work, that is. If you think you are going into a therapist office expecting for THEM to make you all better, you will never get better. A therapist is more like a tour guide of your experiences and they help you to see things in a different way so that YOU can change your way of thinking about whatever you are being impacted by.

      Is this a critique of the case study or just peoples beliefs in general? If it's the latter, do you have evidence to support the hypothesis that people are not realizing the importance of their own efforts in CBT-treatment?

    I kept my mouth shut in my very first CBT session 😂. As a stubborn teenager I didn't want to express my feelings in front of a stranger even she's my psychologist. My psychologist became friendly, loving, kind and understandable, So as I was comfortable, I started revealing everything to her in my 3rd session. I just want to say my psychologist thank you for being patient with me and having my back each and every time. She's such a good & truthful friend of mine today.

      Ashley, Heal yourself. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Best part is mood swings also reduce. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. For more relaxation enter the following on google search and listen before sleep repeating the affirmations for 10 minutes in your mind. -“52Hz affirmations for health and healing you tube”. You will get relief quickly. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

    For those people who are commenting how she's a terrible actor that portays depression wrong doesn't know the fact that most patients are usually nervous in their first session and so they used smiling and laughter as a defense mechanism and to look less vulnerable to someone they are completely meeting for the first time. There are lots of depressed people out there who end up trying to hide their true emotions due to various reasons. The mindset that a person can only be truly depressed if they can't smile anymore is the problem. Not everyone is what they seem, take a look at Robin Williams for example. He looked like such a wonderful and charming man only for us to find out he was struggling with depression for a long time...

      You're absolutely right. I don't know how did people even draw that conclusion. You call that a smile like really!? Girl is simply trying to communicate what she couldn't with any one else. If someone were to see and believe, they can see sadness in her eyes like she'll break down at any moment. I wish people learn to be more empathetic before commenting such unthoughtful things.

Ive had 14 sessions and am now winding down in frequency towards finishing. Its not easy but I worked hard and can now say that I think differently and even happy at times after 15 years. Im no longer on medication and incidently my suicidal thoughts disapeared as soon as came off medication. I will always have depression Im sure but now I deal with it and IT doesnt control me.

    @Christine-el2ew 9 років тому +92

    I found this to be very helpful. For the commenter who said the therapist was wrong in restating how the client felt needs to be understanding that some people may not be able to vocalize how they feel. Also, the therapist reworded her sentences as not to state the client verbatim. This is done so that the therapist better understands what the client is supposed to say and gives the client the comfort knowing the person listening to her acknowledges her thoughts. Secondly, giving her advice from personal experience may not always be the best route as what works for you may not work for everyone else. Instead, the therapist stated things like, "sounds like you've placed a lot of pressure on yourself" and "seems like you place high standards for yourself without exceptions." This gives clients an outside perspective. Not saying we should never share anything about ourselves, but as professionals, we need to put the client above even our own opinions and thoughts. Overall, great video =)

    edit: just remembered that her summing my thoughts up felt somehow detached, like she could be talking about anyone. you’re sitting there, baring your soul, and she’s throwing names of emotions you’re experiencing without attaching them to you and your personal circumstances.

      Hey! This is just my experience and I do not mean to invalidate your experiences at all. I've been seeing my therapist since I was 13 and I'm 19 now. I'm a psychology student too so back in high school I asked her once if she uses CBT. She said the approach she uses is more eclectic but she's primarily trained in CBT. At various points therapy has been frustrating for me. However, now that I think I'm a little more mature and slightly more in touch with my feelings, I realise that she has really helped me understand myself better. She doesn't just paraphrase stuff back to me, in fact she hardly ever does that. Only when she wants to make sure she's understanding what I'm saying. Mostly she asks me questions so that I can feel and think through my feelings with her and not shut them down the second it gets overwhelming. Right now my depression is more severe so she mostly just focuses on trying to get me to function better in terms of eating more, maintaining personal hygiene etc. I'm also on medication and I've finally realised therapy can't fix the clinical aspect of my illness, it can only help me manage them. I highly recommend going to a psychiatrist as well, preferably someone who is in touch with and can work with your therapist. And, from what it sounds like, if your therapist is actually just paraphrasing, saying obvious things like "that's an irrational belief" or "your relationship with x is unhealthy", I hope you've been able to switch therapists since you posted this comment

    Conversation is a key word in the field of psychology. Anxiety, depression, sense of loneliness, suicidal
    thoughts are common among those, who are left alone or being affected by killing incidents. A
    conversation can help to overcome these negative feelings. So the importance of an empathetic
    approach can not be ignored.
    According to my views, Listening plays a vital role in a conversation. Before that , asking with all the
    compassions can win the trust of the person who lacks from the mental balance. Then only supporting
    can become a healing touch to the concerned person and the process can make a difference.

    The issue I have with this type of counselling is *that voice* the psychologist puts on. That overly-emotive almost whisper. I’d rather she just spoke normally - the parts where she did I felt were more effective.
    And all the repetition of what the client was saying. “Okay, (sigh), so it sounds like...”
    What you need in that kind of situation is just a real conversation, with the feeling that the person you’re talking to is genuinely interested in you, wants to hear your thoughts and problems, and wants to try to help.
    Surely it’s better to tell the client you’ll be taking a few notes when the appointment is made, not during the session? Once the psychologist had told her that, you could see the client watching her write. Part of the skill set of a good therapist is to do such things subtly, and to focus on the actual conversation.
    Just my opinion of course

      I agree with you. A lot of people want and need genuine interactions..

Ultimately so they fit in and function at their job. I find it quite disgusting.

      I know these comments are old, but I'll just add a few comments myself:
      -the repetition and conclusions is a way to get the client to hear her own thoughts and improve her awareness of feelings/thoughts
      -the notes are to make sure she herself remembers things like specific thoughts and events instead of repeatedly asking the same questions
      -the "fake emotional" voice serves multiple functions, that are preferred over "talking normally". You talk normally to people every day. In therapy you need to be met by someone you can tell have a different focus to get out of everyday patterns like returning a 'how are you' with false 'I'm fine'. Here the intention is to emotionally meet you. I don't think this is the best example, but being met with empathy and openness is key.
      -the therapist isn't fake. That isn't the point or intention. The therapist is keeping herself open and curious to the emotional state of the other person, actively putting herself in the clients shoes.
      - you can absolutely explain your preferences if it puts you off, and not every psychologist is like this. Don't let it scare you

It’s so sad seeing people like this young lady seeing so much negative experiences in her life. But what I have found is that negativity has been my downfall and when you are in negativity it’s comforting to stay there and it has robbed me of so much... but the thing that made the difference for me was discovering that I didn’t need to try ... it’s not a case of ‘oh just think positive’ that’s the trouble why positivity gets a bad press...

      I would like to slightly oppose here. I guess in some instances you could say that, but it would be more interesting if the therapist would explore the fact the client is sorry for her feelings. The client feels sorry for being emotional - she needs to find out for herself whether this is a good thing for her or not. I would find saying 'it's ok' rather patronizing, for example. People out there say things will be ok, friends and family etc. all the time. The fact that the client actually went to the therapist speaks for itself. Hope that makes sense

  • @AlexZorach
    @AlexZorach 6 років тому +21

    I really loved watching this video! There's a lot in here! Even if it's an "acted" exchange, it resonated a lot with my experience with depression and also my (best) experience of therapy, i.e. with the therapist who I think helped me the most.
    One thing I noticed about this video right from the start, which resonated with my own experience, is how the person in this video seems to look "normal", i.e she's smiling and her body language looks pretty happy from the outside. When I was at my lowest points, I'd often be like this too, at least some of the time, when I was around people. People don't always show depression in stereotypical ways.
    I also think this video does a great job of illustrating the irrationality of people's thought processes in depression. For example when she starts talking about her parents fighting, she seems to express a belief that if she does better in school, things will get better between her parents. So in doing so she makes herself "responsible" for her parents' situation. And because of this belief, when her parents get worse, she starts to feel worse about herself. And it's interesting that she is using the words "should" and "deserve". And then she starts expressing a sort of perfectionist belief. This stuff resonates with me a lot.
    Like...when I was depressed I'd use a lot of "should" statements, and I also had some irrational beliefs about cause-and-effect, like "If only I did better at this one thing in my life, this other thing would work out better."
    And then the thing about how the therapist asks her to describe how she feels, and she responds by saying something that the therapist says she would describe as thoughts, not feelings. I went through this exact same process! I think the distinction between feelings and thoughts, is a critical one. For me learning to distinguish these things kind of laid the groundwork for me to become more aware of my thought processes and then examine and restructure them in a more truthful and empowering way.
    Even if this is not a true therapy session, it felt pretty authentic to watch, and I think it illustrates a lot of things that really go on.

I just noticed lately that I always use past tension for my depression as if to show people that I've gotten better even on days when it's worst than ever.
    Unfortunately, there's so much taboo tagged on it and also, people including whom we are very intimately involved just don't understand. I remember my Ex, would actually fight with me about why I keep saying she isn't getting the state of my mind. Everything seems impossible, everything seems unreachable and everything seems numb and painless in front of the pain that dwells within.

    a bunch of people in the comments, who have no clue what therapy means. This session was good. The therapist is repeating to help her client to connect to her emotions, because, what most people dont know, is that depression also occurs disconnecting from self and gives a distorted view on life. Also, repeating is validating and making the client to hear what she says from other voices, so she would have a better view on her cognitions.

    • @clivepa
      @clivepa 3 роки тому

      wouldnt say depression is disconnecting from the self because it is a neurotic disorder and not a psychotic disorder (bipolar, schizophrenia etc). Depression is gradual and slow development of apathy that arises in the client due to chemical imbalances or events in the environment or a product of both. I agree with you they have a distorted view of life as they probably encompass several cognitive distortions. The general consensus, at least what I had in my studies says that validation that comes from empathy, paraphrasing etc. will indeed help the client to understand their problems and take constructive actions on them. Lucy's depression is manifest because of her wanting to do good in school and I feel there is this underlying fear that if she does not do well she lets down her parents (because she mentioned her parents as well).

      Mental health counseling grad student here - from what I’ve gathered in my internship experience, I think a better way to ask this is to ask, “What’s on your mind right now?” Or “I noticed you started to tear up when I said (so and so), what feelings did that bring up for you?” There are better ways to ask I’m sure but I think just asking “Are you okay” is close-ended and could prevent the client from elaborating :)

      @@internallyscreaming90 I agree. I also think it's appropriate to allow the client the space to cry or however they express emotion in silence before asking a question

      No its not appropriate. It's better if you just wait and just sit there quietly, it feels better. I had a therapist who kept asking if I was okay, I never went back to her.

      Rather than asking if she was okay, you may instead appreciate her effort for seeing u as the therapist and make her feel supportive and positive and make her feel comfortable. In this video the therapist is paraphrasing for a long time.

    This is the first video of yours I watched. I watched it because I have felt depressed for a long time, I hope I can gain the courage to tell my mom soon. I decided to watch this video also because I wanted to see what a session of therapy would be like.

    I think this could be a Humanistic, Carl Rogers approach than the CBT model, because I don't see much of behaviorism in the session. Or maybe this is just a short beginning, I hope there is a realization of the model more.

    C: "Hi my name is lucy"... T: " so I understood that you said your name is Lucy?" C: "I am sad" T; " I hear you say you are a sad. is this correct?" I hate when therapists repeat every statement you make. I sounds like a call center employee

      a bunch of people in the comments, who have no clue what therapy means. This session was good. The therapist is repeating to help her client to connect to her emotions, because, what most people dont know, is that depression also occurs disconnecting from self and gives a distorted view on life. Also, repeating is validating and making the client to hear what she says from other voices, so she would have a better view on her cognitions.

    • @flaca213

      I agree. for some smart people or who have the psychological insight they would get angry and a much more unhealthy patient like a BPD might even say "If I wanted a parrot I would have bought one' Often BPD clients are very smart and perceptive and sometimes psychologically minded.

      This is actually a technique used in therapy called reflection. It allows the client to really understand the words that they are saying and form another thought from that.

    • @MrBushelmcdood
      @MrBushelmcdood 4 роки тому +39

      It's self-affirming to hear that the therapist is actually listening and understanding. Also. If you said something and then when the therapist says it back you realise that's not entirely true it gives you the opportunity to speak further on the matter instead of the session bulldozing right through with little regard to how you're actually doing. That's what the goal is. To actually listen and show you're listening. Therapy is not just about talking but allowing the service user to think, confirm, accept and verbalize that that's how thing are going. Makes things more real and helps with the healing process.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that CBT is for people who don't know themselves very well, I can come up with all the reasons to why I feel a certain way and what makes me tick, and give you counter arguments but it still doesn't help, I share my feelings with anyone, I dont care in that respect, so telling me what I already know doesn't help, it seems you have to just keep moving towards what you want (if you have the strength) and then over time hopefully things work out, so you can start to feel good about something.

    It is interesting to read the comments people, some of who sound like therapists, are crticising the process in which the therapist in the video is interacting with the client. If any therapaist is to publicly display a session they have with a client, they too would get such comments on the process. Unfortunately, a lot of therapists believe their delivery and approach is god-send.
    If you are therapist criticisn her skill and style, I would suggest make a consented recording and recieve critique, it helps so much. Also, put a video on youtube and you will also get inflammatory comments for how you practice.

    i really want to start therapy sessions but i legit will be speechless. I just couldn’t imagine the fact that i’m venting out the problems no one knows i’ve had and my social anxiety just worsen it like 10x. I’m not good with communications either and if someone ask me about my problem i don’t even know where to start, i can’t focus on one problem and i’ll get lost and sat there nervously or maybe have an anxiety attack. I don’t know what to do, i can’t talk to anyone in my family because they’re all still from stone age and thought that teenagers don’t have the reasons to have mental illnesses. I don’t have friends either.

    Excellent video! Very natural flow of conversation, solid trust being established. I could relate to the many symptons of depression when i was back in high school! There was a time where you asked "Are you OK?" Would you think of changing that? To me the visitor was held back from some raw emotional release. I feel it would be even better if she stopped the coping smiles and just let her true emotions be shown. what are your thoughts?
