The trick is to put the phone/camera on a stand and then manipulate the mirror so you can see the camera in the mirror. Then adjust the phone on the stand to get a better background. Then tweak the mirror and tweak the stand and repeat until you need a therapist.
This is actually super accurate. Many therapists have therapists. People have to talk about there feelings…even therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc.
On point. Honestly, Psychiatry team members are the most likely in the medical field to utilize mental health services. I'm grateful that the new grads in all aspects are safer to reach out for help and support. Historically, Providers have been shunned for seeking mental healthcare as well as having to have their mental competency evaluated by Medical Board. That behavior discouraged Providers from seeking help, causes burn out, and has direct correlation with the outrageously high number of physician suicides. Reach out. There's help. Please don't be a statistic. You literally save lives. Yours is worth fighting just as hard for. New Grads can and will change this.
This implies the existence of a therapist circle. At some point a therapist is counseling another therapist's therapist while getting therapy from the therapist.
I'm not a therapist but I'm the appointed therapist in every grp of friends I have and even strangers sometimes with a lot of progress I find that just talking about your problems is soothing but addictive and more self destructive than most things you can do, if you need advice sure go for it but if it's for decompression you're just sniffing a very hard to obtain cocaine to deal with your life Emotional support wont always be there, specislly of youre a man, then it's even worse cause even your emotional support will get tired of you So the thing you got addicted to will not only have a smaller impact but you'll get less of it as well, terrible stuff Anyway to put things into context, random folk usually can get a lot from talking about their problems because someone can shed a light or show them what's stopping them from seeing their problems... but if you already have answers it's devastating, and that goes for the "therapist" as well I'd day 60% of those who come to me are appointed grp therapists too and I can see the pressure, but complaining just makes them meltdown cause they have the answers they just want help carrying it but there's no help ever, if you do feel like there's help your problem is probably BS to begin with
My father lied to me. I blame him. My kids are never getting within 100,000 kilometres of medicine. Doctors are over worked and for literally carrying out life saving work are severely underpaid
I can just imagine you quickly shifting your facial expression from Psych-externa to Psych-interna, and that makes me laugh even more. Hope you didn’t get an eyebrow cramp!
My psychiatry co-residents and I were chatting about how kind your interpretation and genuinely funny your “Psychiatry” character is. Thank you for making us laugh and taking the edge off of medicine.
The repressed memories of psychiatrists alone can make an entire series! I died thinking of the krebs cycle, the coagulation cascade and that time the surgeon watched us suture in med school! They’re probably hanging out with all the other things we repress: most of the surgical clerkship, that one baby we “helped” deliver, having to consult neurology in person, pretending to remember anything from the first two years of med school, there’s too many to count
In nursing school, the only thing I learned and remember about Obstetrics was how to make a "baby" out of pantyhose, and how to "deliver" that baby through a hole cut into a shoebox!!! 🤣 I've always told folks that if I'm present when someone goes into unexpected labor, that we'd better call 911, because this Cardiology nurse would be totally useless!!! 😧🤣
This is actually really scary to consider, as a person's mental health is affected by mostly biological factors that result from social and conscious thinking factors. I hear about a lot of ppl who struggle to get their psychiatrist to take their physical side effects seriously, and it's sad and frustrating. Of course I'm not directing this at you personally, just sharing what I've seen.
@@WigglyTuffStuff The joke is that psychiatrists don't focus on other areas of medicine, which is true for a lot of fields (e.g. try getting an orthopedic surgeon to interpret an EKG). But we learn a lot about the biological side of our own field. I'd say if anything we lean towards prioritizing that at the expense of important psychosocial factors. I'm 2 weeks into my own psychiatry training and today alone treated a serious adverse reaction from a psych med and listened to a lecture about different side effects of different classes of antipsychotics.
oh you poor thing, you still believe in the chemical imbalance theory too i suppose. how do you sleep at night knowing that industry is as far away from science and medicine as is truck driving. you plastering all your customers with meds too? the ones that do more harm than good and flood gullibility receptors with fairy dust?

I was almost expecting you to bring in another “character,” but the fact that you did it through the mirror was even better. 👏👏👏 On a slightly more serious note, I definitely agree with your message and thank you for putting this out there. I’ve just finished my Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship, and despite telling myself for a while that I’m going to find myself a therapist, it took me until I was bawling in my supervisors office for completely no reason during the beginning of my 2nd year of fellowship to realize that I couldn’t put it off any longer. Once I did, despite it being tough in the beginning, it really was very helpful and did help me take care of my patients better and finish better. Thank you for sharing the message in such a light-hearted, but supportive manner! 😁

Something I learned in therapy was the 42% rule! It states that you should spend 42% of your time per day, or at the very least 42% averaged across the week of your time, resting in some form. This can include sleep, recreational activities, and spending time with loved ones. Any less, and you'll burn out. I don't remember hearing about an upper limit of rest in therapy, but I'm sure one exists.
By rights should be 66%. 8 hours work, 8 hours whatever you want and 8 hours of sleep. Unions fought hard for an 8 hour workday and I value their outcome. Sadly working 14 hour shifts atm and hating life.
@@classicambo9781 At most, of course. Plenty of people who can do more, shouldn't... but plenty of people can't even do 8. in which case they should find their own personal burnout ratio.

I was waiting for this one. Unfortunately, my experience as an Intern in psychiatry involved telling my attending about my own current struggle with depression, and being met with very little understanding. There, out of all places, I expected something else. I ended up going into family medicine instead, which I do not regret.
Yea I have similar experience. Even with someone who was very understanding with patients. Learned that for mental health stuff it's still better to go somewhere else, even if for everything else I wouldn't blink twice to get help where I work.
Not surprising; there has always been an unhealthy dichotomy in medicine: doctors are an exalted species of human, not themselves supposed need doctors, *especially* not head-doctors! In vet med now, there's a problem with suicides, because of professionals mistakenly believing it's shameful to ask for the sort of life-giving help Doc Glauc is advocating👍. OK, rationally: what's worse, feeling intellectially inferior, incompetent, and ashamed, or being dead? Well, suicide is not borne of rational thought. I hear dentistry is also a field rife with suicides; but, familiar with the odor of feline oral SCC - maybe that's understandable🤢😉😕?
I’m constantly shocked how few Doctors have the wisdom to value their own mental health. Forget anything preventative, many wait until there’s an acute issue, waiting until they feel utterly desperate before giving themselves permission to seek help. I hope they aren’t like this with other medical conditions. My suggestion would be to skip the psychiatrist and see a psychologist or psychotherapist instead. I am also surprised that given the degree of vicarious trauma any Dr is likely to experience that having a therapist isn’t mandatory. Anyway Dr Khurana you deserve support irrespective of your career but as an aspiring psychiatrist your lived experience of mental health may allow you to bring a more compassionate, holistic and comprehensive approach to your patients. I hope you have created a support system for yourself. I know it takes time and energy to find the right people. Wishing you all the best.
I hope the Psychiatrist - and everyone else - will remember that they deserve to be taken care of for their own sake, not just so they can take care of others. 💜💙💚🧡❤
I'm just concluding a psychiatry rotation in med school, Nigeria. As I heard Mental Health's voice, the first thing that came to mind was "auditory hallucinations"?!
I guess one benefit of being an intern is not having to worry about this inner monologue yet. We don't even pretend like there's remotely enough time to look after our own mental or physical health :p
Makes absolutely no sense to me that this torturous method persists for interns in medicine. It's "as if", since I suffered through it, you must...like intergenerational trauma. Imagine how learning during internship might be of a higher caliber if the hours didn't necessitate surrender of all life-affirming, balancing facets. As said herein, if you're going to force yourself into poor self care, who's coming into the healing profession healthy? With a value for other lives, and a heart-felt attempt at helping people take good care of themselves? "Very stupid", I hear a Zen Master saying. Even Hipocrates would've laughed out loud before calling out this ridiculous frat boy/girl hazing continuity.
@Podalirius1 Trust me,your mental state affects everything else you do. What kept me afloat in internship was prayer and counsel from the chaplain. You need support, vacation time, to take breaks and have fun even if it is just a snippet of time. Believe me, I know what it's like.
This was incredible ! TRUTH TO ALL ! ER Doc here. I am always thinking about this and pray for health. Without it there is nothing else. Take care of yourself ! If NOT Neurosurgeons EGO will consume us all !!!!!
Completely true. I’m a licensed professional counselor and I have my own counselor. I’ve been on medical leave, but my clients are all Medicaid (mostly kids) and Medicare. Since the vast majority are low income, I put out fires more than anything else as a case manager. Counseling isn’t going to help if the client doesn’t have food, electricity, water, clothes, etc. I’ve got to get those taken care of so the kids don’t get taken from their parents. Kids that are already traumatized by poverty being thrown into foster care is not a good thing unless they absolutely need it. And I get paid less for case management units than counseling units, but both come out of the same pot. Use all the units up on case management and no therapy is paid for, even though we still do it. You can’t just walk away all the time. I once spent 11 hours in an ER to make sure a client was admitted for inpatient. I only got paid for 3. It takes a toll on your mental health quickly.
This has actually convinced me to go to therapy. Not an actual therapist, just some guy a lot of people talk to, cause they need someone to listen. I'm struggling.
Dr. Glaucomflecken, you are the most funny and intelligent doctor/comedian I have ever seen! Also can you please do oncology, I would love to see what Johnathan sees the oncologists as!
This hits to the bottom. Emotional draining happens so often in psychiatry so as a trainee I sought guidance by my superiors and yes this was the advice. Know your limit. Empathy is good but without Emotional drainage. Be with your own life other than work etc... Such a nice clip. Love it
aww 🥺 this is why a lot of people wonder how psychiatrists and therapists take care of themselves when they’re so used to taking care of others. it’s a very selfless career to walk into. i hope all those in selfless careers such as this, realize they’re always a priority. your health is incredibly important too
Brilliantly storytelling sir! Us nurses need to pull out a magic mirror to pay attention and look ourselves in the eyes. Stop to take care of ourselves and not be inflated with big, busy, rescuing egos .
Psych goes to therapy! Been patiently waiting for this for so long. Therapists need therapy too! It is so nice to see Psych getting the emotional care that he needs as well, for gives so much to all his fellow healthcare colleagues. For this, I am very happy to see him taking care and valuing himself. #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare
Dr. G, my hero. Such great insights, (actually applies to all docs), and so gentle with the humor! I just told a multidisciplinary group that you're better than ten thousand resiliency modules!
I mean yeah, all the doctors of this hospital are mental but they are extremely passionate about helping those who in need.As a med student i find it heartwarming in a scary, strange way. Lot of love to Dr.Glaucomflecken♥️♥️
was SOOO looking forward to this! I knew it would come up. Most important part of being a therapist or MH counselor or psychiatrist or anyone working with anyone's intense feelings/safety is having someone they can professionally and personally confide in
During my wife's recent hospital visit, I discovered that there is a specialty called Intensivist. That's a doctor who spends his/her time in the intensive care ward. Perhaps he needs to make an appearance. And nurses. We need more nurses. Based on Dr G's videos it's clear that there must be some sane people working in hospitals to keep the doctors in check. I'm guessing it's the nurses.
If there is room for another kind of feelings bro, I think C&L psychiatry (consult and liaison) would fit really well in your universe. There’s rivalry with neurology, eye-rolling at the consults requested by surgeons for patients who cry, internists discovering new onset schizophrenia in elderly patients with obvious delirium, obsessive checking of QT intervals, and so on.
This is golden, i feel like I'm in the medical field for real, feeling the anxiety, the calm, the depression, the say "no" ..., God bless you Dr. G👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
This is SO accurate for anyone who works in the mental health field. We know what it’s like to struggle, so we put others before ourselves. Before you know it, you’re feeling the burnout and realize you haven’t done any self care for months.
These comments are absolutely awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...luv it...n I literally watch Dr G on a daily at least once...this doctor has been a blessing...laughter is the best medicine
Yes! At long last!! The psychiatrist is getting the aid... I feel the mirror's pain... It is hard to prioritize others more than you own and never realized that you compromise way too much and you are left being more messed up or depressed even more 🤧🤧🤧... Maybe pedia could help strengthen the pep talk of mirror bro.. Cause pedia is secretly savage 😂
Yesssss....pedia is AWESOME...we luv them all...this u tube channel is a blessing in so many ways....takes the edge off a little...being in the medical field is flippin' brutal @ times
This is hillarious. There could be a part 2 for this. Of course there is also a truth in it: we cannot take care of others if we don't take care of ourselves well.
i just felt like u talked with me and many other doctors out there! while being a doctor we always forget that we also come 1st! our health is as important! thanks feelings bro 🤗
Thos was the best! I requested a video about the psychiatrist going to a psychiatrist. This was good! Thank you for listening to us. Thanks for your videos too! 😻
Love this. As a therapist I do a lot of talking to myself in the mirror. I also have a therapist. Love your skits. I have watched some of them many times. Stay well!!
I love this, thank you so much. Therapists should do training therapy at the very least, it is a great tradition and one that got lost with the biological psychiatry movement. Who cares for the caregivers otherwise? And then we will gladly continue to keep neurosurgery's ego at bay.
People that work in mental health are more prone to trauma induced metal illness because our entire job is listening to the worst of all our clients' lives, their traumas, their bad behavior, and take that information to our graves. Therapists are around 7 -14 clients in a day, but usually only get to see their own therapist once a week for the normal amount of session time. Working in mental health means taking on mental and emotional wounds. Bullet wounds from ricochets are still wounds, and we are inundated with them. Mental health professionals are freaking saints. Except psychiatrists. Psychiatrists rarely do talk therapy and act more like neuro. So while I like these skits a lot, they're inaccurate to psychiatry. They are however a wonderful parody of psychotherapy.
This is a really important lesson for all professions that deal with mental health. I'm glad my professors talked about this stuff when training to be a youth worker too, burnout is a huge problem.
“See, there's two kinds of doctors: there's the kind that gets rid of their feelings, and the kind that keeps them. If you're gonna keep your feelings, you're gonna get sick from time to time. That's just how it works. People come in here and they're sick and dying and bleeding, and they need our help. Helping them is more important than how we feel.” ER
#1 rule of being a feelings bro in feelings bro school is knowing you need your own feelings bro. The undeniable truth.

I'm not a therapist but I'm the appointed therapist in every grp of friends I have and even strangers sometimes with a lot of progress
I find that just talking about your problems is soothing but addictive and more self destructive than most things you can do, if you need advice sure go for it but if it's for decompression you're just sniffing a very hard to obtain cocaine to deal with your life
Emotional support wont always be there, specislly of youre a man, then it's even worse cause even your emotional support will get tired of you
So the thing you got addicted to will not only have a smaller impact but you'll get less of it as well, terrible stuff
Anyway to put things into context, random folk usually can get a lot from talking about their problems because someone can shed a light or show them what's stopping them from seeing their problems... but if you already have answers it's devastating, and that goes for the "therapist" as well
I'd day 60% of those who come to me are appointed grp therapists too and I can see the pressure, but complaining just makes them meltdown cause they have the answers they just want help carrying it but there's no help ever, if you do feel like there's help your problem is probably BS to begin with

As I heard Mental Health's voice, the first thing that came to mind was "auditory hallucinations"?!
'Controlling Neurosurgery's Ego' is the glue that binds the Dr G. Universe together lol
I guess one benefit of being an intern is not having to worry about this inner monologue yet. We don't even pretend like there's remotely enough time to look after our own mental or physical health :p
Makes absolutely no sense to me that this torturous method persists for interns in medicine. It's "as if", since I suffered through it, you must...like intergenerational trauma.
Imagine how learning during internship might be of a higher caliber if the hours didn't necessitate surrender of all life-affirming, balancing facets. As said herein, if you're going to force yourself into poor self care, who's coming into the healing profession healthy? With a value for other lives, and a heart-felt attempt at helping people take good care of themselves?
"Very stupid", I hear a Zen Master saying. Even Hipocrates would've laughed out loud before calling out this ridiculous frat boy/girl hazing continuity.
Makes as much sense as the doctor who invented the residency structure being addicted to cocaine and morphine.
@Podalirius1 Trust me,your mental state affects everything else you do. What kept me afloat in internship was prayer and counsel from the chaplain. You need support, vacation time, to take breaks and have fun even if it is just a snippet of time. Believe me, I know what it's like.
Feelings Dude! This advice is so true! I'm a social worker and I tend to forget this great advice. Great aspect with the mirror! Loved it.
This was incredible ! TRUTH TO ALL ! ER Doc here. I am always thinking about this and pray for health. Without it there is nothing else. Take care of yourself ! If NOT Neurosurgeons EGO will consume us all !!!!!
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Also, I love ortho bro's personality
Ortho bro is very sweet and just a little slow. Love him!
Ortho bro might be my favorite. Maybe Pathology, too.
The radiologist is down to ONE pair of indoor sunglasses, and Surgery has ALMOST learned Anesthesia’s name!
So much progress!!
Completely true. I’m a licensed professional counselor and I have my own counselor. I’ve been on medical leave, but my clients are all Medicaid (mostly kids) and Medicare. Since the vast majority are low income, I put out fires more than anything else as a case manager. Counseling isn’t going to help if the client doesn’t have food, electricity, water, clothes, etc. I’ve got to get those taken care of so the kids don’t get taken from their parents. Kids that are already traumatized by poverty being thrown into foster care is not a good thing unless they absolutely need it. And I get paid less for case management units than counseling units, but both come out of the same pot. Use all the units up on case management and no therapy is paid for, even though we still do it. You can’t just walk away all the time. I once spent 11 hours in an ER to make sure a client was admitted for inpatient. I only got paid for 3. It takes a toll on your mental health quickly.
This has actually convinced me to go to therapy. Not an actual therapist, just some guy a lot of people talk to, cause they need someone to listen. I'm struggling.
"I think you know what happens."
"Neurosurgery's ego will consume us all."
"That's right."
I died- BAHAHAHAH
Thanks Dr.G for bringing up mental health as an important issue
FINALLY!!! As a child and Adolescent Psychiatrist I've been waiting for this!!! It was great! Thank you!!!
Dr. Glaucomflecken, you are the most funny and intelligent doctor/comedian I have ever seen!
Also can you please do oncology, I would love to see what Johnathan sees the oncologists as!
This hits to the bottom. Emotional draining happens so often in psychiatry so as a trainee I sought guidance by my superiors and yes this was the advice. Know your limit. Empathy is good but without Emotional drainage. Be with your own life other than work etc... Such a nice clip. Love it
Ah yes, the Krebs cycle. I keep it stored next to my memories of chylomicrons and the structure of a sarcomere.
You once knew the structure of a sarcomere? What a flex.
aww 🥺 this is why a lot of people wonder how psychiatrists and therapists take care of themselves when they’re so used to taking care of others. it’s a very selfless career to walk into. i hope all those in selfless careers such as this, realize they’re always a priority. your health is incredibly important too
Brilliantly storytelling sir! Us nurses need to pull out a magic mirror to pay attention and look ourselves in the eyes. Stop to take care of ourselves and not be inflated with big, busy, rescuing egos .
Psych goes to therapy!
Been patiently waiting for this for so long.
Therapists need therapy too!
It is so nice to see Psych getting the emotional care that he needs as well, for gives so much to all his fellow healthcare colleagues. For this, I am very happy to see him taking care and valuing himself. #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare
Dr. G, my hero. Such great insights, (actually applies to all docs), and so gentle with the humor! I just told a multidisciplinary group that you're better than ten thousand resiliency modules!
This is me taking care of all my friends who are having a hard time while i'm in the hospital lol. Preach it mirror universe Psychiatrist!
We have so been waiting for this moment! And it surprisingly was totally different than expected. The video editing is great!
I mean yeah, all the doctors of this hospital are mental but they are extremely passionate about helping those who in need.As a med student i find it heartwarming in a scary, strange way.
Lot of love to Dr.Glaucomflecken♥️♥️
was SOOO looking forward to this! I knew it would come up. Most important part of being a therapist or MH counselor or psychiatrist or anyone working with anyone's intense feelings/safety is having someone they can professionally and personally confide in
The video I've been longing for. Thanks doc. Highly appreciate your efforts for us doc G.
mirror, mirror, on the wall…
who’s the best psychiatrist of them all?
Ty for making this videos, im not a medic or any health care service...actually im and attorney but some how your videos are so relaxing!
I am not a healthcare professional and I too 💗Doc Glauc's videos.
There is something universally appealing about them.
Thank you! I’ve been asking for this one for a while now! It was awesome!
I'm struggling with burnout and this brightened up my day beyond words. Thank you
During my wife's recent hospital visit, I discovered that there is a specialty called Intensivist. That's a doctor who spends his/her time in the intensive care ward. Perhaps he needs to make an appearance. And nurses. We need more nurses. Based on Dr G's videos it's clear that there must be some sane people working in hospitals to keep the doctors in check. I'm guessing it's the nurses.
From the stories I've heard the nurses are the worst ones
It's certainly not the admin.
If there is room for another kind of feelings bro, I think C&L psychiatry (consult and liaison) would fit really well in your universe. There’s rivalry with neurology, eye-rolling at the consults requested by surgeons for patients who cry, internists discovering new onset schizophrenia in elderly patients with obvious delirium, obsessive checking of QT intervals, and so on.
Okay, that advice on taking care of yourself before treating patients is spot on, really!
This is golden, i feel like I'm in the medical field for real, feeling the anxiety, the calm, the depression, the say "no" ...,
God bless you Dr. G👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
I've photographed myself in a mirror like that. It's not as easy as it looks! Nice job. I love seeing psychiatry taking care of himself too.
I've been expecting this uno reverse card long ago
This is SO accurate for anyone who works in the mental health field. We know what it’s like to struggle, so we put others before ourselves. Before you know it, you’re feeling the burnout and realize you haven’t done any self care for months.
These comments are absolutely awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...luv it...n I literally watch Dr G on a daily at least once...this doctor has been a blessing...laughter is the best medicine
"I can't stop now I'm making too much. . ." Totally thought it was going to be money haha
Yes! At long last!! The psychiatrist is getting the aid... I feel the mirror's pain... It is hard to prioritize others more than you own and never realized that you compromise way too much and you are left being more messed up or depressed even more 🤧🤧🤧...
Maybe pedia could help strengthen the pep talk of mirror bro.. Cause pedia is secretly savage 😂
Yesssss....pedia is AWESOME...we luv them all...this u tube channel is a blessing in so many ways....takes the edge off a little...being in the medical field is flippin' brutal @ times
I knew you would do one of these eventually! Did not disappoint. The filming of the mirror was perfect.
I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you
I laughed out loud when he said he huge out with Krebs Cycle as a repressed memory.
The psychiatrist needs a Jonathan to get him through this
I SO need a Jonathan.
@@tmm6884 Be the Jonathan you wish to see in the world I mean
Not later feelings bro!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣I love these!
Absolutely love this skit. Thank you Dr G
Ohmygosh, this explains why my therapist best friend was so into mirrors, lol, she needed therapy too! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Regardless of job/career; literally the best mental health psa
I remember asking for this one! You nailed it like always doc!
I've been waiting for this one since I found your channel :)))
This is hillarious. There could be a part 2 for this. Of course there is also a truth in it: we cannot take care of others if we don't take care of ourselves well.
Feelings bro....
i just felt like u talked with me and many other doctors out there! while being a doctor we always forget that we also come 1st! our health is as important! thanks feelings bro 🤗
Thos was the best! I requested a video about the psychiatrist going to a psychiatrist. This was good! Thank you for listening to us. Thanks for your videos too! 😻
"Neurosurgery's ego will consume us all" 😂😂😂 it's the apocalypse
How does your content never get old
As a new PA about to start working in the mental Healthcare field, this was a very timely and pertinent reminder.
I sssssssooooooooo needed this! Thank you!
That is so accurate and true. Well done
Genius. This man is a genius.
Doc, this is brilliant--the mirror thing?? I love it!
Love this. As a therapist I do a lot of talking to myself in the mirror. I also have a therapist. Love your skits. I have watched some of them many times.
Stay well!!
Finally...Psychiatry goes to therapy...Inception level stuff here
I love this, thank you so much. Therapists should do training therapy at the very least, it is a great tradition and one that got lost with the biological psychiatry movement. Who cares for the caregivers otherwise? And then we will gladly continue to keep neurosurgery's ego at bay.
I'm absolutely fascinated about this chanel.
Another great video from the doctor. Thanks
Circle of life 😂
Even therapists can have mental health issues. No one is perfect.
People that work in mental health are more prone to trauma induced metal illness because our entire job is listening to the worst of all our clients' lives, their traumas, their bad behavior, and take that information to our graves. Therapists are around 7 -14 clients in a day, but usually only get to see their own therapist once a week for the normal amount of session time.
Working in mental health means taking on mental and emotional wounds. Bullet wounds from ricochets are still wounds, and we are inundated with them.
Mental health professionals are freaking saints.
Except psychiatrists. Psychiatrists rarely do talk therapy and act more like neuro.
So while I like these skits a lot, they're inaccurate to psychiatry. They are however a wonderful parody of psychotherapy.
Theme song for psychiatrist today is Man in the mirror 😂
The video I’ve been waiting for!!! Thank you!!! 🤩🤩🤩
This is a really important lesson for all professions that deal with mental health. I'm glad my professors talked about this stuff when training to be a youth worker too, burnout is a huge problem.
The insight that it takes to make these videos suggests to me that Dr. G would probably make an excellent psychiatrist.
“See, there's two kinds of doctors: there's the kind that gets rid of their feelings, and the kind that keeps them. If you're gonna keep your feelings, you're gonna get sick from time to time. That's just how it works.
People come in here and they're sick and dying and bleeding, and they need our help. Helping them is more important than how we feel.” ER
I'm going to be a Psychiatrist and this is a very helpful reminder. Thank you!
This man’s eyes or way of speaking is so encouraging and caring. Da heck is dis magic?
