This is such an incredible perspective to speak about. I love the concept of transpersonal psychology and I would love to hear more about it from the both of you. PLEASE make a part 2! :D
Thanks for letting me know that this resonated with you ... I'm so happy you enjoyed it! A Part 2 is in the works, so keep an eye out for it! I hope you are well!
This was outstanding. I hope you arrange a Part 2 - would love to know more about the transpersonal journey and Gestalt principle as well. Thanks to both of you! 💛🌸
It was an amazing interview; I throughly enjoyed the dynamic between us & I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I do believe we will have a Part 2; let Misty know that's what you want! (Reach her at www.linkedin.com/in/misty-heins-08545a38) 😊
I’m glad that people are finally discussing the interplay between Trauma and eating disorders. If your Trauma and eating disorder is deeply embedded into so many facets of your life. Then is it really even possible to ever recover? It feels like there’s just too many broken pieces to try to fix. It feels impossible.
Thanks for your comment Janelle. Instead of "recover", I find the term "integrate" more reasonable than striving for a full cure if the trauma & ED are deeply embedded. With that being said, with longer-term treatment, therapeutic community, & hope I've seen incredible progress & growth in cases that initially seemed hopeless & overwhelming.
Fear, division and dopamine = distraction: Dividing us conquers. Fear controls. Dopamine supports distraction as we seek more of the "good stuff" that makes us feel better. We don't "have enough time" due to distraction. Distraction has evolved into a fear-based-hyper-aware feeding frenzy supporting 24/7 consumerism, global news, and anything else providing pleasure (tech or whatever) that redirects us away from noble truths. The dilemma of not having "quality time" is evident from traveling down this rabbit hole. Our society (and billboards!) caters to the lizard brain, supports our addiction to dopamine, and so on. In addition, regarding "advertisements," Microsoft supports keylogger software, Alexa listening and tagging key words for advertisements, the Windows OS new release will have a complete system monitoring option (similar to mirroring everything you do), etc. Go into your advanced Windows settings and you will see all of the software that can expose your microphone, your apps, your search engine(s), what you work on, etc. Turning it off is usually not an easy option, as it controls other functions. There's no choice, there's no privacy. It's all a mess in my opinion. Thank you for this incredible thought-provoking video. Much love and respect from JF. 😉💥🤘
Not remembering the trauma could also be a good thing, because it allows you to lay down new tracks on a new foundation that you can build with honesty & love, & that will guide you with the understanding on how to move forward with life, because you want to move forward and not look back, It's like starting over 🙏
Thanks for your question, Emily. Not at this point; it's in the works. If you need DBT training with CEUs I'd recommend a PESI training like this: catalog.pesi.com/sales/bh_c_001182_cdbttraining_ppc-626512. Hope this is helpful. Lmk if you'd like to discuss more.
Fantastic video. I've seen a shift lately and I hope it continues - it's as simple as providing men support, being present-listening, affirming that "It's ok to cry, to need someone to talk to," etc. - or just "someone to trust." I hope society moves away from "men vs women." We've got some work to do with women too - shift the societal mindset of, "if you're not wealthy, macho, and you don't have 6-pack abs, I don't want you. You treat me like a queen and nothing less." What's that about..........
Thank you; I'm so happy you found this video fantastic! You're absolutely right, hopefully we can move away from the exclusionary dynamic of "men vs. women" to an inclusive one of "men AND women." I'm glad you're seeing a shift lately and hope that it continues.🤞
😄 - this was very fun and enjoyable. Just what I needed to hear & further understand! Excellent. "There's growth in the uncomfortable." Yay, Saybrook. 😉
I’m glad that therapy gets this notion that it works fast was brought up. And I just don’t believe it works like that all the time. I wish that many understood the way therapy works. Also wanting and accepting change is crucial for therapy to work or to be received well. Coming from having over 2 years (and going!) of therapy.
There are many misconceptions about how therapy works, especially in this age of instant gratification. Of course there are instances that significant change can occur in a few sessions, but for the most part, therapy takes time ... and is a commitment. Glad you enjoyed this video & thanks for sharing your insights Emily!
Sir,do you know there is some problem on your channel. Like your videos SEO score is very bad and there is also lack of proper optimization. If you want then i wanto work on your channel and take it to the next level
Thanks for your kind words and the suggestion; I'm new to all this. I just added my LinkedIn profile to the video description; that's the only social media I'm on.
Allison - distractions, getting annoyed - all of it - is such a big part of me that I work on EVERY day. And now the analogy of the lawn mower will stay with me! :)
So happy you're loving this series of panel discussions! Is there anything in particular about them that you're really enjoying? As always, thank you for your support!
@@DR.DEUSSING I enjoy the open exploration into masculinity and intimacy. I also learn a great deal from the experiences of the panel. I'm a second year AMFT with an MA in Clinical Psychology.
👍🏼 great discussion, review of Dr. Wheelis' work, and how to gain more confidence as therapists - take a stand in what you know because "you know more than you realize."
Thanks for this lovely exposition of one of my favorite books. While I hear your point on “Mind Over Matter”, I do believe that unless you feel safe in your body and are able to govern your mind by feeling your feelings in your body, it is hard to develop mental resilience.
You're welcome; thank you for your kind comment & salient points. It really is a dialectic between the mind & body, the mental & physical ... & therapies have to evolve together inclusively to meet this need.
It's fascinating to me how spirituality becomes the missing and vital element to the psychological experience and treatment. Thank you for sharing that piece on Linehan's spiritual awakening. I, too, have experienced that recently. It seems to be a rite of passage into the field lol. And a phenomenon that an individual can only experience alone. I'm in the process of cultivating and integrating my own spirituality and meditation practice into my personal/professional life. It's a painful, euphoric, illuminating, and transformative experience that I believe to be worth it. So much gratitude and compassion becomes possible. Thank you again for these presentations. 🙏
I feel like you're describing me. Thank you. And yes, I believe we men suffer this in a different way. I'm reminded of Thoreau's quote "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
You're very welcome; I'm so glad the video is resonating with you! Thanks for the Thoreau reminder ... I've got to dust off my copy of "Walden" and give it a read!
