Dr Honda, I just want to say that I feel like I'm a better and more understanding person because of you. I'm not able to afford therapy but watching you at least helps me to better understand my thoughts and emotions. You're always so impartial and that's really helped me to put other people into perspective. So thank you :)
Have you checked out low cost counselling or sliding scale counselling? I am training to be a therapist and I see clients who pay the clinic a much lower fee than normal. Also one of the few good things to come out of COVID is that there are tons of remote options. You could easily find a student therapist in an English speaking country anywhere in the world.
@@lynncrf Fair point. Public education on mental conditions might also make room for more compassion and understanding. Among the many parts of affordable care might be tied into the emerging research on the gut- brain connection. Microbiome health and mental health seems to influence each other. Moreover, immune health, or challenges with autoimmunity are sometimes correlated. Check out neuroscience news, and psychology today for recent additions to this subject, as well as the 5-minute segment of an NPR's "Here and Now" 3/25/22 show that highlights the example of predisposition to schizophrenia/ psychosis, and the effect of infection of a cerebrovascular virus like COVID. The idea is NOT that probiotics, prebiotics, fermented foods, and fiber are cure-all solutions. Instead, these ingredients may help people balance overall health and by extension also help stabilize mental health.
@@lizhyink5636 Yes, I believe in a truly holistic model. Lifestyle, relationships, nutrition, hormones, and all physical factors should be examined too.
Am I the only one noticing how Amber's lawyers accuse the JD side of turning this into a soap opera, and that they will counter that by focusing on facts and evidence - but then they are actually the ones soaping it all the way through.
When we were kids we had this horrible bully who lived in our neighborhood who made everyone’s life hell. No matter how many times the police were involved he always came out with his hands clean because of how manipulative he was. This guy threw bricks through our windows stole money, phones, play stations, and abused and assaulted everyone in some way, even to the point one friend had to get metal rods installed in his arm he was beaten so badly. My brother had his friend punch him in face so he could tell the police it was the bully. The police learned my brother did this and he ended up in trouble. The bully never got what he deserved and he was a stain our childhoods.
Jerk face lol love it
I love when he says it too. I feel like he said it as a kid 😂
I can’t wait until you react to other psychologist they had on the stand!
Also can you please do a video on the audio recordings?!?
AH does not suffer from any personality disorders according to 2 psychologists who treated her for 4 years and Dr. Dawn Hughes, the psychologist who testified for Amber today. Only Dr. Curry has made the diagnosis of borderline and histrionic personality disorder and she is clearly in the minority. Dr Hughes diagnosed AH with PTSD.
I would agree with seeing things from both sides like the punch-scene of the sisters. But I would argue that as these evidences, scenes, audios, witness testimonies, etc. add up and one has enough material to get the picture.
I think my sister has this BPD, she tends to believe and has mentioned it to me that she thinks people don’t like her, that’s she’s the black sheep, and will often have conflict with others on perceived hurtful things. I was patient with her when we first started talking (she’s 5yrs older, and I was in foster care so I reconnected with her when I was 18-19) but she would feel as if I did something to hurt or betray her. On one occasion it was because I reached out to another sibling and was telling her that I wanted us to get together, my sister got upset and began to cancel plans with me. I was so confused and thought maybe anxiety or she was scared. It wasn’t until later that she said she thought I was talking badly about her to my sibling like giving updates or something. I told her no sis I just want to organize a bbq.
A lot of it was her assumptions about what she perceived and led to drifts.
Years later I still reach out, how are you doing? How are your kids? What are you and the kids dressing up as for Halloween (favorite holiday)? And I get responses days later IF she even responds. And her texts are very basic replies and she doesn’t ask how I’m doing or anything. But she doesn’t talk about herself either. It’s more like she doesn’t want to talk to me but yet she will like or heart all of my Facebook stuff like a normal friend or family member.
I talk to my friends and they respond back quickly, My friends will also ask me similar questions or direct the conversation with other things going on in their lives without me pulling teeth and asking all the questions. I keep contact with my friends almost daily, sure life happens and we drift a bit but we’re able to talk and pick back up pretty easily.
Is that normal communication for someone who has BPD? What’s with keeping up on Facebook but not wanting anything to do with me personally or in REAL life?
Amber Heart =Gone girl
Exactly, now that you've mentioned it.
No, all of Johnnys exes came out and spoke highly of him and how he treated them. His ex wife and mother of his children, Vanessa, who he was with for 14 years AND Winona Rider who he was engaged to. They were together for 3 years.
Amber Heard and her legal team have yet to produce a witness to corroborate her claims of abuse first hand.
Johnny on the other hand has had countless witnesses witness her abuse towards him.
Today Amber's team forensic psychologist started her testimony. She will start cross tomorrow. I am REALLY interested to see your response to that.
It was a mess
I hope he reacts to that. That was nuts😳
Ya it was weird. I was lost.
Yes please do a reaction to heards therapist. It seemed so unprofessional. She was reading notes that she wasn't meant to and her "professional opinion" seemed all hearsay from AH's perspective with nothing factual to back it up. No showing of data to back up her claims and seems to not be very "forensics" based.
I'm dying to hear Dr. Honda's reaction to this
It has been so enlightening and fascinating to watch your input and opinions on this case! Thank you so much for everything you do!!! Because of you and this channel, not only am I in individual therapy weekly, but my partner and I have begun couple’s counseling and I feel so grateful and highly functional!
I love your empathetic, anecdotal but highly professional conversations inspired by this trial. Thanks for being one of the few commentators on this whole thing who has something good to contribute.
I wholeheartedly agree. This is a great learning experience.
Ditto! Amazing human, amazing commentator!
My on issue is our good doctor keeps providing anecdotes to counter the depp team, but Im not seeing anecdotes to counter the heard team. This is coming across with some bias, or perhaps I hear it this way because Ive already seen heards previous testimony. I judge her as an abuser because I have seen her behavior without a jury present in the previous case.
Dang Dr. Honda, 3 videos per day! You're the staple of productivity! 😄
it almost feels illegal to receive this much for this great person 💖
Last year, I had a close friend with BPD (Z) confess romantic feelings for me. When I told them that I wasn't interested (I was fresh off a break up), they managed it better than I expected, only needing minor reassurance. I was really proud and felt like we were healing our attachments together.
A couple weeks later, their childhood best friend (D) moved up into our city as their roommate and sparks flew between us. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. Once I knew the attraction was mutual, I opened up to Z about our desire to be together and checked in about their needs. They set some reasonable boundaries around not being too exposed (no pda essentially) and asked to make sure we kept the rituals we had around spending time together. Again, I was so proud of them and how they were handling this.
But I was So SOOO wrong. That night, they brought D into their room and threatened self harm, threatened to break lease, repeating they will "cross the fucking state line if you can't keep your hands off Sabrina". D was terrified and unsure about pursuing our relationship. We took the next couple weeks to figure things out, eventually deciding to date anyway.
We followed all their "boundaries" (growing increasingly less reasonable, including how close we can sit together, how much alone time we are allowed to have). Processed their rage with them enduring constant insults to various aspects of our identity, especially them making biphobic comments to each of us. Z started dressing/acting more provocatively and asking me if I thought they were sexy repetitively when we hung out alone. And Z would constantly text me about how they were scared of D, and D was always sending me screenshots with Z criticizing them and threating to move out. But we persisted, knowing they always pulled through their episodes, apologized, and went back to being a loving and sweet friend.
But they just couldn't. And the first time D spent the night at my place, Z packed their bags, and sent us a text about having some mysterious illness involving coughing up blood. We rushed over, offering to take them to get medical care but they refused. An argument ensued between D and Z, I tried to mediate it, but when Z threatened to move out again D essentially said "I can't be in the same space as you right now. Either you need to go to the doctor and give me some space here or I am going back to Sabrina's place to cool down and feel safe again". After that, I saw their face change, and I'm not the best with faces but it seemed like something shifted from a hot rage to a cold rage. Then they grabbed a bag and stormed out.
D and I went to my place and started getting texts from friends and neighbors. Apparently, within a couple of hours, Z had told our entire group of friends that D was abusing them, and that the two of us had evicted them, and that they were homeless, requesting donations publicly on social media to "flee an abusive household". And Z was sort if a big deal in our community. They had a big personality and gave a lot to the community. And I was a really quiet, private person. And D had only arrived a few months prior. So no one believed us and we lost everyone. D even lost a job opportunity. Our neighbors hate us. And the only person who believed us was a friend who also had BPD and claimed that after treating others in exactly the same way, she could recognize what Z was doing. And she was a MASSIVE support.
And it was really hard, and I'm really glad it's over. But the point I'm trying to get to is that BPD is SUPER complicated, and sometimes they can be managed for years only to regress, and folks who have them can also be perceptive and sweet and be valuable members of the community and supportive friends and its really a mixed bag like any other kind of person. Its really tragic for everyone involved, and they deserve help. If you made it to this point, thanks for reading all my thoughts! It always feels good to share.
thank you for sharing your story!
Don’t enable these people.
Its always such a punch in the gut when your willingnes to help (and also actually helping like with the coughing blood example) gets violently thrown out and "betrayed". The worst part is other people then going "after you". I hope it has been made (somewhat) clear to others how the BPD affect a persons Actions and reasoning. Yes there is An aspect of them not being able to do anything about their thoughts or feelings popping up, but they sure as hell can learn to recognize Them and seek help or shelter from themselves.
All in all I hope most of all that you 2 are doing allright and hopefully my long ass comment somewhat helped ❤️
(Edit some words autocorrected to dutch)
@@KarensOpinionsMayDiffer Honestly, agreed. In hindsight, I would have cut things off far far sooner with Z. They really had no right to mistreat me, and in the same way I advocated for my desire to be in a relationship with D and not them, I could have intervened way more on the other ways they were acting toxic. I don't encourage people to stick out toxic situations.
@@jeroendevries1981 Thank you! D and I are very well and just moved in together, we don't have any idea where Z is now.
Its definitely especially hurtful that our kindness was used against us. We were cooking for them, cleaning up after them, driving them everywhere. We saw someone who was struggling and it inspired empathy. In hindsight, I don't think they wanted our kindness or empathy, they just wanted the situation which was triggering them to end. And more than anything, I wish they could have just told us that, something like "Y'all, I love you, but I am not of right mind and your joy is bringing me immense suffering. I am going to move out and avoid you both for a long while until I even out".
But instead they devised this whole elaborate plot of convincing everyone we evicted them, which damaged our image to our community. They also got like, at least $700 from community support because people thought they were fleeing abuse, which is resources taken from people legitimately fleeing. It was truly repugnant behavior.
I'm so happy you decided to continue this! Your insight on the forensic psychologist helped me understand the differences in your respected fields. As always, so informative!
I'd also like to say that watching your channel made me realize I had been in an abusive relationship and had not dealt with the trauma. I've been in therapy since October of last year and my therapist has helped me heal so much.
Thank you Dr. Honda for all you do! You really are making a difference in people's lives :)
I'm glad you talked about how reactions to violence can vary a lot. My friend was beaten up bad by her spouse and the first 6 months to a year after all she could do was to laugh and make jokes about it. It took a long time for her to talk about it seriously and actually be sad.
Please please please watch the forensic psychologist Heard’s team brought on today. It is wild! What she testified to as fact was so far beyond the scope of what a psychologist could know from speaking to one party
I came to the comments literally to say the same thing. That was one heck of a testimony. Her use of “he” for perpetrator and “she” for victim whenever defining abuse grated at me. It is not that hard to use gender neutral terms when talking in general ma’am
Yes That Was Craziness lol
Dr. Curry gave a general description of personality disorders too.
I havent seen it yet, im very curious. Reading this comment section i wonder if perhaps people are also shocked about it because they are so on 'johnny 's side'. But like i said i havent seen it yet maybe it really was a dumpster fire
@@sintara8442 no, your assumption is correct. This is shocking only for the people who are pro-Johnny, it's just a standard testimony aside from that.
we need a reaction of Dr. Dawn Hughes (forensic psychologist) testimony as well cause she just diagnosed amber with PTSD :D Love watching your commentary of the case
Yes!Please do this!
This whole psychologist vs psychologist thing is very interesting
And she's actually BOARD CERTIFIED unlike Dr. Curry, and has experience as a clinician as well as a forensic psychologist.
@@matthewt9386 funny all those certifications and she doesn't know NOT to use heresay as a fact in court case ...she basically said everything Amber said to her is true just because she said it. Never spoke to Depp a day in her life but calls his and abuser blatantly ...when her job is actually to look at data and notes to form her "opinion" on the matter not state lies as facts
Yeh and she seems to have some outdated but deep seated belief that men can only be abusers not abuse victims/survivors. It was interesting to see her lay out what abuse can look like while say she this and she that to refer to a victim and he this and he that to refer to an abuser yet what she was describing was point for point what we've seen in the evidence is how AH treated JD.
Dr Honda before you go back to the beginning, please cover AH expert witness from today. OMG
I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at 27. After extensive therapy and DBT treatment thankfully I am doing really well now however this reminded me of a time when my primary therapist took much longer than normal responding to an email I sent her. I had myself convinced for almost two weeks that she secretly hated me and had purposely blown me off because she no longer wanted to treat me. It’s difficult because most of us have a lot of trauma and are so used to being hurt in childhood that it’s almost as if you convince yourself of the worse and are just waiting for someone to hurt or betray you.
2 weeks would trigger me hard too. That’s a long delay even in non-BPD world haha
I have borderline personality too. I have a lot of trouble distinguishing whether something I think happened is true or I just made it up for whatever reason. I’m in therapy but it has been very difficult for me. I’m also bipolar.
I would dislike waiting two weeks too. I havent been diagnosed with any mental health disorders.
I think your therapist was irresponsible..... 2 weeks ? So much changes in 2 weeks. It's highly unprofessional. Imo
Nah, that's not just you, 2 weeks is a long damn time to not answer somebody.
I cannot wait til Dr. Honda sees Dr. Hughes's testimony.
Thank you for speaking about the "perfect victim" mentality! Let's not police how people act after abuse.
Ha ha ha, what. That makes no sense. One abuse doesn't justify the next. Of course it should be policed.
@@Wandering.Homebody I think they mean, let's not pretend theres only 1 way to act after abuse
@@Sough exactly. thank you.
@@Sough that's not what policing means though
@@Wandering.Homebody I think it was meant more in the "tone policing" type of way, as per a question of "would anyone joke around about being punched if they were really abused?" or the dingo story. Not in a how-you-react-to-the-abuser-who-is-or-was-abusing you/criminal law kind of way.
I've been LOVING these 1h reactions, thank you Dr Kirk and Stacy for all you guys do 💖
I feel so sad for Johnny Depp being a child who had to get away from his angry mother. As an adult he bought her a house and took care of her when she became ill. As Mother’s Day approaches, I want to offer all the other children or adults dealing with an angry or abusive parent my wish: that you will get the healing and peace that you need and so deserve. I believe you and I love you. You are brave to look after yourself and break the poison thread of trauma.
❤
Thank you Danielle Marie.
I was abused by both my parents and my grandparents.
Then two husbands.
Now I’m going through the mess, as I don’t understand much of what has happened.
Happy mothers Day to you too!
And yet he became just like his mother
@@ABa-ve3ul No he married an abuser.
^Lmao amber’s new PR team is hiring bots to defend amber and attack Johnny I see xD, they’re working very fast😂😂😂
At this point in the trial, the defense team still hasn’t proven ANY of these things AH claimed that Johnny did to her, they haven’t proven A SINGLE THING.
But Johnny was able to PROVE that AH had no bruises on her face and no one saw her with these bruises when they were together, NOT her nurse NOT her doctor NOT the cops NOT her neighbours NOT the staff in the building.
-It was proven that she LIED about the donations.
-She LIED about not wanting any money from JD then proceeded to ask for 14M dollars and takes all of it to herself.
-She LIED about the incident where she “ran to hide in the bathroom” and JD “hit her toes”, it was proven in the audio to be UNTRUE and it was actually JD that was trying to hide from her and she then punched him and admitted to it.
-She LIED about the house being a mess and LIED about JD causing that mess as it was proven from the police cam that the house was clean and tidy when they arrived shortly after their supposed “fight”.
-She ADMITTED to hitting Johnny repeatedly and punching him in an audio of her.
-She ADMITTED to being jealous of him and was seen gaslighting and belittling him in the audios of her.
I have to say that I’ve known about the “Dingo ate my baby” story for years. I actually saw the meme first, I actually saw someone with a shirt that said that and stuff right. So the actual story is horrifying. A wild dog did in fact grab her toddler out of the tent, carry the little girl off and it ate her alive. That’s how they eat their prey, for the most part. The park rangers found tattered pieces of her clothing some distance away with dog tracks and the evidence was pretty conclusive. I can’t imagine a dog just mauling a toddler, and the screaming.... I can’t believe what the parents were put through, how they were treated and then having to live with what happened. Every time i see that stupid meme I want to punch someone. I saw a college age kid wearing a shirt that said “Dingo ate my baby” with a picture of a dog smiling. . People are sick.
Not defending anyone, but I don’t think they believe it actually happened or are thinking of the gruesome reality of the words.
Yep completely agree. People outside of Australia laugh at the meme, but those in Australia, especially those alive at the time, are embarrassed and horrified by the event. Most australians thought the mum had killed the baby. My mum was in law school at the time, most lawyers who studied the case knew she didn’t do it, but the public were so convinced. She’s been exonerated now and they’ve found the baby’s clothes with a bloody dingo paw on it as well. Poor thing. There’s a movie about it starting Meryl Streep and Sam Neil.
That’s actually horrifying that people literally wear T-shirts of it 😳🥴 in Ireland I remember it being taken very seriously and treated as sensitively as it deserved to be 😢
I’m Australian and had no idea it was real until I was in my 30’s! Thought it was a joke from Seinfeld 😖
It wasn’t even a toddler-it was a newborn baby. So sad.
Please do a video on Dr. Hughes direct exam. The Expert on Amber Heard side. I would love your take
Dr Kirk! Can you please do a reaction on AH’s forensic psychologist Dr. Hughes. Her testimony seems much different than Dr. Curry’s as it seems more opinion based vs fact based. Also it seemed like she probably did not conduct the test. JD’s team still has to do cross-examination tomorrow ( 5/4). Thank you!!!
This!
Can you review the Dr. Hughes testimony from today?
So glad you are doing these videos. Can’t wait for your thoughts on Amber’s expert that testified today.
AH's Psychologist just testified. SO CURIOUS to hear what Dr. Honda has to say about her counter argument!!!!
I cannot wait for Dr. Kirk to react to Dr. Dawn Hughes expert opinion
Oh, Dr. Honda, I sincerely hope that you skip over and go straight to reacting to the AH forensic psychologist next.
I always learn so much from your videos, Dr. Honda. Your knowledge, experience, and empathy really shine through!
I have to admit that, by far, the night I laughed the most in my life was the night after my grandma passed away. We had just suffered 4 deaths in a 3 week span, with both my grandpa and my grandma passing away 10 days from each other. The whole family gathered together that night and very fondly remember all the happy and funny moments we shared with them. I will forever cherish that night and it didn't take anything away from the hurt
That's wonderful. We all grieve in our own time and in our own way. I'd love it if people would come together to fondly remember the beautiful, funny moments of my well-spent life after I'm gone.
@@Anna133199 that would be great for sure. To be honest, I do come from a culture (or a family belief not sure) that the soul of the person that left stays in the house until it hears the first laughter. So it has been fairly common for me to go to funerals, both cry and laugh.
@@a-moon "I do come from a culture (or a family belief not sure) that the soul of the person that left stays in the house until it hears the first laughter. "🥲That's beautiful! I'm from two cultures that treat funerals very differently. One generates great meme material with its bright colours and upbeat way to say goodbye to the deceased and one is incredibly depressing with so many suppressed emotions, a bit of coffee and a slice of soggy butter cake. (I live in the country with the soggy cakes.)
My wife has symptoms of BPD. She’s been a lot better since she’s started getting treatment. But man, the stories you tell about it hit close to home. Just like completely driven by how she feels in the moment. Totally believing something that didn’t happen at all just because that’s how she FELT. Extreme selective memory. Twisting and misrepresenting what happened or didn’t happen. Seeking validation from others while she makes herself out to be the victim and omitting very important details of a conflict or story to ensure she remains the victim and gets the validation she’s after. It’s was like she wanted to be the victim. It was like she needed to be the victim from my perspective. No accountability whatsoever. Making me out to be this monster one day, but the next I was the greatest thing that ever happened to her. Gaslighting, backwards rationalization, terrible at communicating and comprehending, twisting intent, hostile defensiveness and an extreme fear of abandonment that would ironically be expressed in ways that would make you want to abandon her. Wild time in my life. It really had me questioning my sanity. Treatment has worked wonders for her. And weekly therapy sessions seem to be the solution.
I literally cannot wait for your thoughts on amber's forensic psychologist 😂😂😂😂
The whole time Heard's forensic psychologist was testifying, you were in the back of my mind. It was a complete dumpster fire. I'm looking forward to your opinion.
Yes! I can't wait for his hours long video on that complete train wreck! Cross examination is going to be great tomorrow.
Same. She sounded like she was really minimizing female to male abuse, and she came off kind of sexist to be honest. To the layperson, she sounded incredibly biased and unobjective. I’m curious to see what the Dr’a perspective is.
We need to hear directly from AH about her allegations of sexual abuse. He did a cavity search to look for hidden cocaine? She hoped he wasn't raping her with one of the broken bottles? I'm sorry, that is ... wow.... And while a victim would not necessarily have visible physical injuries from that, they would not be walking normally for a couple of days.
I believed Anita Hill, but these allegations seem to go so far beyond both the evidence and common sense.
Just finished part 4 and then I see part 5, omg ! Such good content Dr. Honda, thank you !
You have to watch todays trial. The first witness of Amber. Please!
You HAVE to react to Amber's heards forensic psychologist
All I know is having been in a abusive relationship there is no way that I would have been able to talk to my abuser the way she talks to Johnny my abuser would have gone off on me just because I was talking back
You need to react to Dr. Dawn Hughes on the case because wow .
I’m really interested in what you think about dr Hughes gendered approach to violence today- as a victim it was really triggering to watch her today and I had to take multiple breaks. It made me feel alone even though my abuser was a man, larger than me, less economically stable than I was. It was devastating to hear her approach to DV.
Her approche was very unhelpful for everyone. It's fuel to the Gender Wars fire, unnecessary, unhelpful especially if AH is found to be full of shit.
I’m also a victim and felt like she was very informed and much more empathetic to both parties than Dr Curry was. Can I ask why you felt it was devastating?
@@CW-nc7sn how was she empathetic to "both parties"? She didnt even meet with one of them to get a full scope when she "diagnosed the relationship" despite having an opportunity to do so. She decided to just "use the notes and Amber's reports given to her". Also....she said Miss Heard didnt have any history of prior abuse yet she caught a charge after a police officer in Seattle visually saw her hitting her ex-wife. She talked about Ambers childhood abuse but not Johnny's as a risk factor to his victimhood either. She also continuously downplayed how men can be victims of abuse from women in relationships, consistently using "women" "she" "her" "woman" when describing general victims.
Are you serious?
@@sputniksweetheart5187 bro. The psychologist did her job correctly, the only problem you have is that she didn’t make jd look like the bigger victim here, which, sorry but that wasn’t her analysis? You’re mad she’s using “she” like everyone else in the echo chamber while completely ignoring the reasoning for it and just yelling bias. Yes, everyone comes with bias. But that doesn’t completely cloud the judgement of a professional you seem to be bashing for no good reason
@@sputniksweetheart5187 btw all of your points are easily refuted but I can tell you’ve been watching like I have and have a different, extremely biased pov if you really can’t understand the judge’s ruling on what should be testified on re prior violence, so I think I’m gonna pass on trying to re explain but good luck to you
I hope to see your reaction to the the psychologist under Amber Heard that talked today. I would be interesting for you to evaluate how she did in court compared to Dr. Curry and how expert witnesses play out in courts if you know
I am dyiiiinnnnggg to see you do Hughes. Please don't make us wait too long 🙏😅😆🥰
I've attended university for several years in the areas of psychology/sociology & have a B.A. & a Master's degree + an university certificate. My Master's Thesis is about how social support reduces stress manifestations. I admire your great insight, knowledge, expertise & compassion as well has your hilarious sense of humor. From watching your podcasts I've learned the equivalent from you as my university degrees. I can't thank you enough!!! (Sharen Van Fossen)
As a single mom who can’t afford to go back to school but have a voracious appetite for learning, I appreciate this content so much.
I barely have an AA in psychology, believe me, Dr. H's expertise has already helped me to be more receptive and tactful with my words, which is crucial. It truly sets a standard.
I'm new here. You guys got me wanting to pay more attention now. lol
Wonderful work YOU and doctor honda are doing, thank you.
Oh Dr Kirk, you’re in for a TREAT with Amber’s Team’s forensic psychologist.
They’ve just finished for the day.
I’m certain there’s a lot to say on what has been offered so far…..
I have to hear your opinion on the new Psychologist’s testimony..
You should react to ambers forensic psychologist …she crashes and burns right before our eyes. It’s bad.
Such a trainwreck.
You have got to react to Dr. Hughes Testimony who appeared as the Expert witness today for Amber.
Please react to the testimony by dr. Hughes today! It was very shocking to me, as she seemed very qualified but her conduct in the courtroom was extremely unprofessional.
What conduct? She sat there and answered questions.
Dr.Hughes' testimony was shocking, yes! She acted as if Amber Heard's word was gospel, and testified as if she had actually witnessed these events occurring. It was bewildering. How can she pretend to speak to the truth of the matter with such authority when she has no way of knowing what actually happened either way?? It was just narrative pushing, it was wild.
OMG!! PLEASE PLEASE do a review of Dawn Huges!!!! :D
Can you talk about Dr Dawn Hugh’s? Is she crazy biased or doing a good job as a paid expert witness
Every time she said “when a man abuses a woman” or “typically abused women will…the man who is abusing will…” I cringed so hard. No doubt the legal team told her to do this but the fact that she testified to all these decades’ research and framed it in SUCH a gender biased way made me doubt everything she said.
@@faLLingFASterfeARing TRUEEEE!!! I’m a woman myself and I physically cringed.. she seemed SO biased and sexist!!
I cannot wait for Dr Honda's video on the defence's first witness lol.
If/When you review Dr. Hughes (Forensic psychologist on Amber’s side), I’m giving you an advanced warning of very triggering subjects. She was very theatrical in her language and physical demonstrations.
She used very gendered stereotypes when speaking of abusive dynamics, overly labeling women as the victim and men as the abuser. She even went as far as to say J was the abuser and A as the victim.
She presented as quite unprofessional in doing such a thing. She reviewed only people who treated amber, were her friends, her mom, testimony given in a court case overseas where Johnny wasn’t able to present any evidence. She also disregarded ALL of the neutral professionals (police officers, for example) observations who reported no evidences of J assaulting A ever.
Throughout this whole case so far, none of the doctors or police ever reported any bruises or physical injuries on Amber.
Hear, hear!
Agree, it was highly unprofessional and I feel like her testimony will be devastating to Amber during cross-examination. I was wondering why Depp's lawyers weren't objecting up a storm, but they might have known that allowing her to keep gossiping as if she was having drinks with girlfriends, would ultimately hurt Amber's case.
The unprofessionalism truly was astonishing.
Also she kept reading her fkn report. They're not actually allowed to read shit, they're supposed to talk from memory.
And she said she looked at all the other documents and said she didn't see anything about AH having a eating disorder when it was shown from the witness before her (amber and JD's nurse) in her medical notes AH herself said that she had a fkn eating disorder. Bruh
and the most devastating thing to AD was the whole thing was called a hoax. But her lawyers had made a whole fkn ass deal that it wasn't and it wasn't at all what AD meant etc. So she said the opposite of what the lawyers have claimed even...
There👏 are👏 so👏 many👏 things👏 she👏 did👏 wrong👏
Just wondering, have you been watching this channel for long, bc I really don’t think he is going to share your take
@@CW-nc7sn perhaps he won’t agree but this case is so complex that it was totally out of bounds to make a determination of who she thought was the abuser vs victim.
Watching this case in contrast to the new Evan Rachel Wood IPV documentary against Marilyn Manson makes me skeptical that AH has PTSD from JD. In the documentary Evan goes into detail about what happened to her and you can clearly see how terrified she is of Manson and the PTSD symptoms just radiate in her body language. It’s sad that someone who actually was a victim of IPV like Rachel is fighting for justice for herself + other victims and AH was fabricating or exaggerating alleged abuse. It’s just crazy.
This case really makes me think of ERW case too, it’s crazy that Johnny and MM have been friends for over 20 years and even have matching tattoos
Dr. Dawn Hughes from yesterday seemed so different to Dr.Curry, I‘d love to see your opinion on her.
Can't wait for your reaction to the testimony of AH side's psychiatrist..!
Hello! I have a request if you don't mind! Dr. Dawn Hughes is the other forensic psychologist testifying for the case and I would love to hear your opinions on what she says. I will not give my personal impressions because I am biased, but you are very objective and it would be great to hear your thoughts! Thank you 🌸
I'd love to see it as well!
I don't think this fits the dingo story. I think Amber and sister have colluded. Sorry, don't agree with your thoughts on this.
Please, please PLEASE, DO A REACTIOn to the Ambers side expert testimony!!!
"Psychology In Seattle" is much better Amber's defendant than her paid team :)
Yes that is good
I really appreciate your commitment to being unbiased and playing devils advocate- but I was fully on amber’s side until a year ago when the recordings came out that in my mind exposed her wholeheartedly as an abuser and Depp as a victim. Of course, we’ll never know for sure, but it seems clear to me that she is an abuser
Like JD bodyguard said... JD verbally gave as good as he got. Drunk and drugs do lend to people not acting there best. The thing is Amber adds physical violence and manipulation on to the toxic mess.
Ya the recordings were it for me too. It was really sad.
There's a recording where he falls asleep after an endless fight, you hear him snoring. Then she abruptly wakes him and when he tries to describe the start of a dream she starts mocking him. He mistakenly says James Dean rather than James Brown but corrects himself and she launches in to the most obnoxious mockery. He's incredibly calm considering what's happening. All the tapes are bad but that sealed the deal that this woman is more than just HPD or BPD. She has no conscience
I think they are both abusive to one another.
As far as the recordings go, how do you know that it's her abusing him and not her fighting back against abuse?
For some context on your statement about previous victims potentially not coming forward, Some of Johnny’s biggest supporters throughout these allegations have been his previous girlfriends.
I am looking forward to your reactions to the AH team first witness.
Can't wait for your reaction to Amber 's expert forensic witness!!
Can you please explain why Ms Heard is pulling faces during the trial? It's seems very animated and artificial? When her lawyer recalls her reports of abuse - she makes a sad face instantly and for just a moment?Her facial expressions are so bizarre, quite robotic at times. Thank you
What faces could she possibly make that please people? She cries? She's faking. She looks angry? She's the agressor. She smiles? She's smug. Etc. I don't think there's any "right" way to make faces at such a public trial. Personally , I thought the faces JD made on the stand were ridiculous.
I don't think Dr Honda is big into the body language analysis stuff, going by things he's said in other videos.
@@rachelreynolds0430 agreed! Found it odd he was smirking and enjoying this so much.
Exactly. I've commented on this on another video too. The expressions looked fake. She went from almost crying when team AH's "doctor" was testifying to almost normal, smiling and drinking fluids when the counsel approached the bench, to going back to crying when the next question was asked. If anyone has genuine recollections of a disturbing/sad account, surely the emotions dont change that quickly. No one goes from crying to smiling and back to crying in minutes. Fake written all over it. Not to mention her other expressions of indignance with her chin our and a blank stare when JD's lawyers were questioning. Not working for me.
@@Rhiannon.Moonchild He did for
There are prior dv abuse allegations against Amber.
So interesting that you said as a therapist it's not your job to say what happened. The forensic psychologist who testified today totally does not agree. She was very definitive about who was victim and who was abuser.
The forensic psychologist stated her statements without see Johnny. She was trying to make it out her judgments at men. Sounds like she is a chaser instead professionally. I don't know where AH team found her.
U need to do this bunk expert from today who is clearly bias and only has a 2 star on Google reviews. I couldn't even watch her. She made me sick!
I heard that some people upset over the Expert Testimony bombed her Google reviews. I’m team Johnny but I don’t agree with leaving bad reviews. Let Johnny team Destroy her on the stand
I have no clue how that woman has a job, and she even testified that she teaches!! now thats a scary thought
@@mayram4598 oh, maybe. I am team Johnny, but wouldn't do something like that. I do think his team will destroy her.
I am so looking forward to watching this video. I am currently watching the testimony of Amber Heard's forensic psychologist. I really hope you make a reaction video, because it's certainly bizarre!
I was like car 54; but it was Dr Honda where are you?
I couldn't watch it to the end cos it felt uncomfortable to do so and bias in my mind ... it was weird .
@@lotfang I agree. For someone who is supposed to be a psychologist. She spoke very passionately and recounted Amber's reports of abuse as if she had witnessed it herself. Also the fact that she insisted on referencing those notes and derailed the whole trial by causing objections. It was like she had never testified in court before.
Dr. Honda, I simply cannot wait to hear your thoughts on the testimony of the "Dr" Amber's team brought to be cross-examined, because this has to be the most egregious display of gender bias I have ever seen in my entire life. What a way to insult, dismiss, and belittle male victims of DV.
I can't wait for Dr Honda to catch up to Dr Hughes's direct examination.
I don't think I've ever seen so many comments on this channel say the same thing. We stand united in the belief that you, Dr. Honda, have to jump to AH's expert witness next.
His job problem is he's a long term alcoholic-hard druggy...who is difficult to work with and is not aging the best. Why this case is in the daily national news is beyond me. I'm not clicking on the 10 zillion bot posts a day, but I always enjoying tuning in for your analysis.
One of my favorite lines from slam poetry, and I don't remember it exactly, was from the poem "rape joke" was something along the lines of "we can joke about what happened to us because it's ours to joke about, just like our bruises are ours to poke at". Not exact wording but I thought it was powerful. A victim can make light of their situation and people cast it as them not really being victims because how could they make jokes if it was such a serious thing...but truly finding levity in trauma is so healing. I'm not saying I believe Amber, because from everything I've seen in the case I side with Johnny, but I don't think the fake punch video (I don't know, I haven't seen it) discredits the fact she could be a victim. It's not the slam dunk I would put in my opening arguments. [If she is an abuse victim] she can handle her abuse anyway she wants to. If she is with something she has grown up with since childhood and feels safe and comfortable joking about it and acting it out, and she doesn't feel threatened, she knows there's no ill intent and that she will forever be safe with that person, then that's not a problem. It doesn't discount the fact she could have been abused. Like I said, I'm not actually on her side, but I do hate when people use someone's jokes to minimize their trauma. Everyone deals with things differently.
anxiously waiting for you to do your reaction for Ambers forensic psychologist 🤯🤯🤯
I've loved watching your reactions to this trial! Thank you!
Im waiting for your video regarding AH psychologist....
I'm really looking forward to you watching more of this case 😀
ALSO AMBER’S INSTA POST SAYS ”I WROTE” regarding the article on Washington Post
I thoroughly enjoy your reactions! Thank you for your time!
I'm shaking.... I can't wait to see you review Dr. Huges.. omg...I'm literally shaking
My brother was abused by his, now ex-, girlfriend (who is coincidentally diagnosed with bpd) and it escalated to a point where she stabbed him with a knife in the back. Luckily there were multiple witnesses, and my brother won in court. But a lot of people believed she did it in self defence and that my brother had been the abusive one,because he is a man and she's was just an underweight, defenseless young woman, which wasn't true. When the case between Amber and Johnny started unfolding and the public gained more details, I almost lost my mind over the amount of people who kept saying Amber must be innocent because she's a small woman. Men can be abused too, and I feel its so important to make people understand that abuse can happen to anyone. Regardless of gender.
I'm changing that from " men can be...." to " men are...."
I hope your bro is doing alright these days, poor guy went through a lot from the sounds of it
I was abused for years then when I was able to file a restraining order my ex filed one against me the day after. He had friends helping him from being served including a mutual friend who was on our city council. He created pictures that were actually unclear xerox copies when I had actual pictures of cuts and bruises. He also had resources for a lawyer which I didn’t have. Accessing assistance was impossible because on paper I made too much money. More happened but now, I finally have my kids 50/50, I am in therapy and I own my own home. It’s amazing how one person can make it their life mission to destroy another person. But your show has helped me to forgive and better understand what he was struggling with. This helps me be a better parent as well. I’m so grateful for your insight.
Exactly. She actually believes he is a monster who must be destroyed at all costs and all because he said he was filing for divorce. I don't know how you break up with such a person other than in a doctors office surrounded by witnesses
oh my god, Stacey! 💛 is he gonna comment on the whole thing now???? 💛💛💛 the opponent forensic psychologist just testified, it was ... something. looking forward for Dr H reaction to it. i have been watching the trial through legal bytes YT channel and few people recommended them to invite dr H to their stream and Alyte was keen to do so. hopefully you guys are making it happen.
Yes! That would be awesome
I'm was an addiction counselor 30+ years and see this behaviors a lot. I wanted to thank you bcuz
In 30+ years borderline is a "hard" diagnosis ( difficult label & more) .
For example in 90's borderline ( per EX 90's comm service board office mh/SA agency) was not treatable (90's) and we were literally told NOT to use this dx bcus insurance won't pay for that TX/DX ( sorry TX= treatment/ therapy, DX: diagnosis)
--Today it's (cluster B DSM) sort of treatable. I wish we had more therapist like you!
Why I thank you because:
A. Best explanation @ borderline (and/or cluster B re DSM) I wish social work / psy edu would explain it well enough/ clearly
B. therapist (you) explaining that in couples TX how misperceptions of a CT ( client consumer) are out of proportion
--- Your explanation how Ms. Heard/ hypothetically could "over react or perceive threat when none or some grain of truth.
-- that everyone has issues & our responses are human
-- therapist can make mistakes
(Most folks would say this helped them connect in TX)
AND survivors' feel" they were "attacked"/ abandoned & can react in ways general folks think is inappropriate ( re: Ms Heard sis swinging at her & laughing. Yet sis was beat up by amber re: pool party later in evidence) but human. Much more good works here in nonjudgmental way. Great job!
Fun Fact- We have Opening Statements and Closing Arguments :) We can't argue without admitted evidence.
DR. Hugh analysis please!!!She NOT ONLY diagnosed Amber today but legit regurgitated the lies told to her by Amber as EVIDENCE instead of looking at data and using that to support her Opinion ..instead she stated the abuse as a FACT based only on seeing Amber a few times and NEVER meeting Depp....she's already lost credibility with me. Very unprofessional for someone who claimed to be such a well informed forensic psychologist to use heresay as a factual statement. Thoughts???
Dr. Hughes' testimony was disturbing. She said that of course she doesn't believe everything a patient says, she approaches reports with healthy skepticism. Show me on the doll where you approached AH reports with skepticism!
I love and appreciate your content Dr. Honda. It provides a lot of perspective into the technical details of the case and inspires me to learn more about psychology & law. Today, the Heard legal team called upon a forensic psychologist (Dr. Hughes), and I found some of her arguments compelling. Can you please make a video discussing her statement and cross examination? Thanks
I can't believe how much jack sparrow glitter people have in their eyes. Really goes to show the downfall of society. "I love him, so he must be innocent." Absolutely no nuanced critical thinking at all.
Seriously. I don't think amber is innocent at all, but the way everyone is painting Johnny as a Saint without knowing everything seems so silly
I had a terrifying hours long conversation with what I see as a covert narcissist about some thing she insisted I said but I absolutely didn’t. No matter what I said to try to explain she was wrong she just kept adamantly, robotically repeating “yes you did, I heard you” over and over… it was like trying to break through a brick wall. it felt like my soul was being sucked out trying to defend myself. Shortly there after I learned you’re never supposed to defend yourself against narcissistic attacks. Why are these people allowed to walk around among us when all they want to do is make our lives miserable so they can feel better about themselves??
I’m sort of confused as to how they compelled the couple’s counselors to testify? Maybe we’ll learn more from Dr Honda on this!
Lawyer here.
Either side will either notice the counselor to testify if s/he is willing to do so voluntarily, or they will subpoena him/her. If both sides are interested in the counselor’s deposition/testimony, they will issue what’s called a stipulated or joined subpoena. Then, essentially, if the counselor does not show up to sit for their deposition (and eventually to testify at trial), they could face contempt proceedings. This almost never happens, though.
I'm confused why Amber would agree to see Dr. Curry who was hired by Depp's lawyer. Why would she agree to that?!
@@annbraden2666 she has no choice. If she did not see Dr. Curry, she is admitting to all of the psychological-derived allegations in Depp’s complaint. It is her attempt at an affirmative answer. Further, Heard is countersuing Depp. Her claim would not survive motion for summary judgment had she not seen Dr. Curry.
@@craignelson2303 perfect, thankyou for solving this mystery for me!
@@annbraden2666 That too!
It's easy to laugh off abuse, especially if you love or admire the abuser and are in shock, feeling betrayed, or ashamed.
waiting to see the dr. Hughes reaction because I'm SO confused as to how she's able to say everything she's saying right now. WHEW
Today’s testimony from AH psychologist reduced my faith in psychology and made me doubt my own sureity in the guidance of a professional who assisted me through a difficult situation & essentially changed the trajectory of my life. I let go of friends, changed jobs etc…….
How can two psychologists make such vastly different diagnoses and view the situation so so differently?
Freaks me out!
Because they're getting paid to.
Because dr H was there to essentially say that AH is a victim and JD is bad even though that’s unprofessional and outside the scope of her job, she’s not a detective and she’s never witnessed any of these things herself, also she never met JD nor heard his side of the story but she still decided to evaluate him, she also ignored the audios where AH admitted to starting physical fights and being obsessive over Johnny and not wanting him to leave her and her threatening to kill her self if he leaves for a while.
.. I don’t believe the “she got ptsd from JD” argument cause after her testimony that seemed rehearsed and overly exaggerated, she didn’t seem genuine AT ALL, it looked like i was watching a poor performance.
But I did notice Dr curry’s diagnosis in AH, like her over use of flowery words and her over exaggeration of things, how she posed for a photographer to take a picture of her mid crying and firing her PR team because she didn’t like the bad headlines (her seeking attention behaviour and worrying about her image).
I so hope you will do a reaction/feedback on the forensics scientist that took the stand for Amber heard‘s defense!?!?
