    A real therapist acts like a mirror. You would never shove your ideas, thoughts and values into the client, you are only reflecting back onto them what they are putting out to you. People have this preconceived notion that therapists “counsel” or “coach” people but a good therapist will never “tell you” what to do and we go through a lot training to learn how to do that. I feel like people don’t actually know what psychologists/therapists do. We are not psychiatrists that throw pills at people nor are we life coaches who tell you how to plan your life out. Nor are we perfect, wise humans who are above everyone else (most of us need a therapist ourselves and are dealing with our own issues). Essentially, we are there to help you discover what you need to do to help yourself.
    To add to this, you do learn a “by the book” method in university but quickly learn this is not applicable to all clients. After all, you have to learn the basics first! Once established, some therapists may only engage in traditional formal therapy but I know plenty of registered therapists who have adapted their approach depending on the client (at least where I live). For example, sitting on the floor together for sessions, doing mindfulness yoga during sessions or having a walking session outside. They may encourage clients to come in wearing comfy clothes or create a space that doesn’t look like a traditional office with beanbags and comfy chairs and things to fidget with. This also applies to the language used and chosen modality of therapy. Traditional CBT does not work for everyone even though it is what is primarily trained in eduction. There are all different kinds of evidence-based therapies as much as there are all kinds of mental illnesses and disorders and professionals get to choose how they want to conduct their sessions once they are out of school (provided it is ethical).

      @@veterpierinna it depends on where you live! You can definitely contact psychologists in your area and see what kinds of therapy they offer. You could even ask if they know anyone who offers that kind of therapy (many psychs have a huge network of other psychs they know and refer to). Also google is your friend! Look up things like “walking therapy” in your city. I don’t live in the US but I just typed in, “walking therapy LA” and a bunch popped up. Some therapists are also way more flexible than people think and would be happy to conduct the session on the floor if the client asks!

    I have both a psychologist as well as a philosopher that I speak to on a monthly basis -- in so called "thinking sessions". He finetunes my thinking by asking questions and by letting me formulate my thoughts, point out flaws in my reasoning and by letting me formulate new questions each session. The original question was "are simple life happiness and responsibility mutually exclusive?". We've also passed "Are we obligated to strive for something in our lives?" "Are we born with a moral duty?" and now "what is the optimum for a human's existence?" It helps me more than the cognitive behavioural therapy sessions :D

      The way people interpret someone saying the word interesting is more telling than the word being said itself. I do think it can get a bad rap if no further discussion comes from it. It can definitely sound dismissive or sarcastic in some contexts, but as someone who tends to use words in their literal sense, I do say “that’s interesting“ and it genuinely means my wheels are turning inside my head 😂

As someone who needs time to understand how I feel about something, I use 'interesting' as a placeholder.

    I replayed 31:10 over and over again. 'Everything in the natural world seems to exist for some reason. But what does a human being exist for?' Isn't the lining up of things in the natural world actually disconnected from 'purpose'?. It seems to me that the belief 'everything seems to line up perfectly' is actually an inherently human perception, a projection of our need for order and meaning. Which then makes us unable to see ourselves in alignment with other things in the natural world.

    This makes me think a lot on how everyone hears your delivery based on their own perspective. For instance, I was born in France to Hungarian parents, and grew up speaking French and Hungarian before I moved to North America and learned English. I speak English fluently and have for many many years now, but sometimes people still misinterpret what I'm saying to them. I observe A LOT, and I will literally just point something out as a note to my partner: me"your dad listens to music really loudly" partner(with defensive tone)"well yeah he's retired and he's enjoying his music" I often notice SUCH a tone difference, and I have to clarify it's just an observation. I find that this happens so much here in North America, people really get on the defensive when the intention is so much more observant

      NO YOU ARE 100% CORRECT AND I USED TO BE GUILTY OF THIS TOO. There is a difference that I can't quite name. It's like you're not allowed to say anything that could be perceived as a critique - I specifically remember my French ex saying many things that I would "get defensive" about...mostly when he would comment on American culture (and I would defend it) and he would always say "it's just a comment." And I would always respond, "yes, but it represents who i am in some way." Now, I am much more on the other side of this, but I think it's because I've lived in Europe. Anyway - I love this comment and thought I was the only one to have noticed this.

    The "what do we know for sure" part has been on my mind for a while now. I felt for a long time now that nobody knows everything. Essentially, everything is an "educated guess", someone became a specialist or expert in a field by attending university for example but how do we know for sure that it is all the absolute truth? thats why its just an educated guess but humans go with it and accepting it as the "absolute truth" and don't think deeper

    hi damon! concerning your talk about telology and your question about what are humans for : both Aristotele and Plato thought that a human's last purpose (telos) is eudaemonia (it can be translated it in english as good spirit or welfare). They basically believed that as a person you will be fullfilled if you are able to complete your physical and intellectual education, which is a journey that almost never ends. Only then you would be able to say that you're "actually" happy and that is the human purpose (for aristotele and plato)!

    I think when you say interesting in response to something you might not understand it sounds “superficial” because you may be putting a wall up. Sometimes when we don’t know how to deal with something we push it away or keep it at an arms length. I think the better approach would be to get curious and ask the person why so you can dive further into the subject and gain clarity instead of blocking it off because you don’t feel comfortable approaching it. I think asking questions is so important when talking to others and trying to understand new things. If you know why you may be able to solve the problem or at least find some way to relate to what is being said. I have also found that sometimes it’s not always important what the truth is but instead how it makes you or someone else feel. If the truth can’t be defined or agreed upon, I would focus on relating to one another despite what is “true.” In my own life I do think absolute truth is very important but it’s also different for everyone and when you focus on what you both find to be true it can create a divide that stops the conversation. I always like to connect to people in the heart versus the head. You can never go wrong with empathy and trying to find common ground. Maybe in therapy you are supposed to have walls but when it comes to truly connecting with someone you need to use your heart. To me existentialism is just about breaking out of the mold society has put us into, like you said yourself. I think it’s more about finding the why instead of the how. I’ve loved your videos for years and you already seem to be a pretty existential person. You don’t subscribe to societal/cultural norms and you’re always paving your own way. I think you just have to figure out what is most important to you and what path you choose to follow, just as we all do. :)
    My personal reasoning about truth is that I do think that there has to be one solid conclusion. If everybody has their own “truth” what is objectively true? I feel like that is a contradiction and it loses its meaning when people say this is my “truth”. They say there are 3 sides to every story; mine, yours and then what actually happened outside of the human perspective. I think it’s about coming into alignment with the 3rd. Instead of focusing solely on the way you or I see, feel or understand we should try to see things for how they actually are outside of our own understanding. For that I think we need a higher power and there are many to choose from. I don’t think we can make all of our own rules and be successful. There has to be order to properly function and live. I do not believe that we can be our own higher power like Eastern philosophy asserts. I think we need someone or something outside of ourselves to follow.

    I think you're minimizing what psychology is, when you're comparing psychology and philosophy. Psychology also contains sociology and digs into the context for people's feelings too. Philosophy is about thinking about big abstract things. Psychology is about breaking the brain and our approach of life into studiable parts.

I feel like it's nearly killed my creativity and spontaneity. Thank you for being so authentic, I've been a subscriber since like 2018 and I've loved seeing you blossom in such a beautiful way.

  • @julietetlours
    @julietetlours Місяць тому

    One of the subjects I had at school after choosing my bachillerato / baccalaureate in Humanities was Philosophy and I struggled with it so much that to this day it's still something I remember vividly. There was obviously a sense of needing to understand all the different ways of thinking quickly because I was being tested on it and didn't want to fail the class. But this experience forever put a damper on the fact I naturally find myself thinking in a philosophical manner... I struggle with questions that are bigger than myself and how to deal with them. Looking back I think was too young to be presented with all those ideas, ideas that now make a lot of sense and I can fully understand.
    I read someone in the comments said they speak to a philosopher once a month to discuss a question, and I think would really benefit from doing something like that.
    Thanks Damon for putting this out there, it's helped so so much.

    Great video, As someone who also has an interest in philosophy and exploring these questions and ideas, I too shared the skeptisism of therapy, specifically the individualisation of issues which often have their root in wider society and as you mentioned, the idea that someone external to the self could appropriately determine and rectify the internal struggles of another. Or that these struggles are anything other than a normality of being concious , so it was good to get to peer into one of these coaching courses!

Keywords were triangle, existential crisis, suffering, if we know we are actually existing, we would have vanished and many more. No coincidences also to add in the end. Dope trip man.

    Love how you are talking everything out while it's still fresh in your mind. It might be good to finish the course as sometimes it's then easier to fully process and breakdown what you truly like and don't like after learning it comprehensively or "the right way" first. Also, you will most likely never see those people again in your life. So, ask "stupid" questions because you [In my Brenda Meeks voice] "paid with your money just like errbody else up in here." 🤣Can't wait for the next update.

    Slightly unrelated to the topic but last night I just read a book called Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer and it's about the author unpacking how she's compartmentalized her enjoyment of art by problematic people like Roman Polanski and she goes into Lolita by Nabokov. I thought of you when I read it because you talked about the mindset to cancel people before and this conversation reminded me of it because of philosophy. Anyway, more of these please!
