Welcome to the Good Enough Psychiatrist channel, where we will discuss major therapy concepts in a digestible format. In other words, the contents we discuss will not at all be comprehensive or perfect, but they will be “good enough.”
Good enough for you to whet your appetite on the topics. Good enough for you to reflect on your own life. Finally, good enough for you to take the first step to lead a life you truly desire.
Furthermore, Good Enough Psychiatrist is for informational purposes and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please address specific concerns or questions with your healthcare provider.

This is better than FANTASTIC If all psychoanalysts, psychiatrists (who are not in practice to prescribe Pharma), social workers, therapists and counselors had their new and current clients watch this video a couple of times, their treatment of all clients/patients would be far more successful. Having had 8+ years of formal Freudian Psychoanalysis while in my early 20's, I finally terminated myself because we never got to the crux of my neurosis. Then, decades later, really being stuck in another relationship that was not evolving, I decided to be my own psychoanalyst. Guess where I began? My childhood dysfunctional family - a place never examined in formal Freudian analysis. I dismantled the dynamics between my parents, then between me and my parents, etc., etc. It did take a long time, working solo - but I did it, with great success. Object relations depicted in this video are clear and precise - not garbled by Psycho Babble and psychoanalytic unconscious infant fantasies. Please keep these videos evolving. For those whom choose to understand themselves because of emotional pain and suffering. Thank you, so much.
this is how we (#2Spirit here) become aware of our Ego around others we can’t necessarily understand how they feel cause we aren’t of their culture (#indigenous to Europe) but we can sense when we cause them suffering from there we grieve out how it makes us feel to know we cause them suffering which sucks for us cause it’s always Abrahamic witch hunt ancestral karma projection they can’t help but hate us arbitrarily we have had a very Dark life cheers #ottawa #audhd edit: it’s their ancestral karma all the Natives also come up against the same karma block they have to heal before they don’t see a right to mentally abuse us kinda thing whether or not you meet the legal definition don’t matter their Egos will say it all every time you talk about your feelings
Thank you. This is certainly good enough. I have had trouble understanding the concept 'object' in this context. I hope to see more good enough videos from this channel. 🇲🇾
If you don’t “gravitate” toward the familiar is possible you “create” the familiar? Like if in the example he had a good loving partner he felt anxious so he took steps to change the dynamic between the two of them to make it more familiar for him?
I loved loved this video! Very creative and approachable way to explain deep theories. So important for parents and society to understand and allow the process of rupture and repair in a safe environment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
'That's good enough for now'- thank you for an excellent message, well put across in a simple and meaningful way. A great antidote for 'get it right' perfectionism.
These are the two FAQs I have received so far. Please let me know if you have any other questions. 1) Does it mean I should try to workout an abusive relationship? The underlying message of "conflict and reparation" does not suggest sticking through an abusive relationship. In fact, in order for conflict and reparation to occur, safety has to be established in a relationship first. Without safety, no reparation is possible. 2) "Good enough mother" sounds like an excuse for childhood trauma by parents. There is a difference between conflict-reparations and trauma. While the former promotes resolution, intimacy and closure (think of an example in the Disney Pixar movie Inside Out where Riley was able to make amends with her parents at the end), the latter is associated with a sense of being overwhelmed, loss of control and persistent negative thoughts/ perspectives about ourselves and others. A good enough mother makes mistakes, has conflicts with her children, but she does not abuse.
Thank you so much, I have read it in my textbook, attended the class lecture on it, and reviewed my professor's PowerPoint over and over. Because of you I FINALLY feel like I understand. It might be the culmination of all the studying but this is where the lightbulb lit
Thank you for your feedback, Labrigni. We're always happy to hear that our content brings further clarification and understanding to our viewers. Thank you for supporting our channel!
@@goodenoughpsychiatrist Mary was the name of the infant, not the mother. Mother was simply called Mrs March. Hence the above confusion. You have mixed up the names.
So that would explain the rigid and strict way we interact with people-we,love people,but we hate some kind of people,although there is no real reason for it.
Thank you for watching this video. If you liked this video, please let us know what you think and leave a comment below on topics you'd like us to cover in future videos.
Hello, there is no good book for the general public for the object relations theory. But, “Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art” by Teri Quatman is a great intro book for anyone interested in this type of therapy.
That is an excellent question. In my opinion, a healthy relationship is defined by what IS NOT rather than what IS. In other words, building a healthy relationship is a journey, not a destination. For instance, as you start noticing your current relationship pattern is not healthy, you may try to move away from that type of negative relationship pattern. Through this journey, you may continuously discover and update what you want in a "healthy" relationship.
