I always wondered why therapist must remain neutral in their overall presentation and the explanation you shared makes a lot of sense. By remaining neutral and vague, this opens up space for the patient to potentially exhibit transference which could be helpful and telling into some of their unconscious thoughts, memories, etc.
Oliver, thank you, you are a natural! The information and examples you are sharing gives me a deeper understanding of concepts I basically understand but have not clicked with until now. I look forward to Countertransference next!
I am a new counselor. Your videos have changed everything I do with process group therapy. I have learned more from you than anyone in a long time. With that said, when do you plan to do a new process group or group therapy video? I love your explanations and ideas.
@@MyPeoplePatterns This would make my month. I work primarily with residential addiction patients that have Medicaid. Looking forward to anything you want to share in your next video! Hope things are well :)
The effort you put into your videos is so valued, thank you so much. I am currently in a process group with 6-7 of my classmates as its apart of my person centered counselling degree and i would love to know how to get the most out of it. I spend most of my time in the group uncomfortable and silent and honestly, bored!. I want to break this resistence but my body feels like a deer in the headlights. Thanks again for your content.
Oh my gosh! Please tell your professor that some random guy on youtube says 'thank you for teaching group with an actual process group' - SO many places don't do this and it's such a missed opportunity. Here's my tips: depending on who the 'therapist' is, #1 I would ask for help. "Jimmy, I've been in this group for X weeks now, and I am still not comfortable sharing, can you help me with that please" (if its your professor running the group, they will LOVE this, actually, even if it's another student, I say start there. #2 More generally, just start paying attention to your feelings and try and share them whenever it feels clear. "Hey, I've not shared much in this group, but I wanted to share now that I feel really anxious / bored/ angry - and I can't quite figure out why, can we maybe look at that?" #3 Try and share why you're not talking - "I'd like to start this week because I've not shared very much and i think it's because this group doesn't feel safe / i don't feel safe / no one talks to me / I don't like _____"
Really enjoy your informative videos. I'm trying to find your video on counter transference, can you direct me to it please? thanks and keep the videos coming :)
so glad you found them - I've not made the countertransference one yet- I've got some weird block about doing it because the idea i have for it super personal :/
I have just binge watched all of your group videos. Really helpful and looking forward to future ones
yay! so happy you found these

YES! You totally get it - it's not to be mean or weird, but to understand and help,
